Every year, on April 1, the rent check comes due for the Oakland A’s. That is the day they are required to send in their payment for usage of the Coliseum, a $1.2 million sum that will entitle the A’s to play their games there for the coming season.
At least, in a normal year, that would be the case. 2020 has not been a normal year, as Major League Baseball has suspended operations in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Even if the season begins at some point this year, it is uncertain whether or not the A’s will be able to play in the Coliseum.
