The Nevada Senate cleared a hurdle Tuesday for a new A's stadium in Las Vegas, just hours before fans in Oakland engaged in a "reverse boycott" to urge majority owner John Fisher to sell the franchise.
The boycott prompted a season-high 27,759 fans to show up at the 46,847-seat Oakland Coliseum, where they watched the A's score a 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays and repeatedly rained down chants of "sell the team."
27,759 tonight at the Coliseum. What a night. #ReverseBoycott #FisherOut #SellTheTeam #FJF pic.
