The Oakland Athletics game time attendance at the Coliseum last night: 10,400 people. The A’s are right smack in the middle of a division race against the 2017 World Series champion Houston Astros, but you wouldn’t know it from the fan turnout.
The story should be that the Oakland Athletics are up against the Mariners with a chance to put some distance between the two teams for the second Wild Card position. Instead, the narrative on Monday evening turned towards the sea of empty seats at the game.
For some perspective, the game time attendance last night at Comerica Park in Detroit for the Tigers-White Sox game was 20,964.
