The Athletics are having a tough go of it to start the season, both in the standings and in the stands at Oakland Coliseum.
After welcoming 17,503 fans for their home opener against the Orioles on Monday, the A’s saw their attendance numbers take a dramatic plunge in games 2 and 3 of the series. Tuesday’s contest saw Oakland seat only 3,748 fans for a 2–1 Athletics win. However, a day later, a home crowd of 2,703 looked on as Baltimore earned a 1–0 victory in a game that had to be pushed up 3.5 hours due to a forecast projecting heavy rain.
