The Athletics expect to set an attendance record on April 17th, the 50th anniversary of the team’s debut in Oakland:
The A’s free game April 17 will be packed, with huge demand for tickets. To accommodate all those fans, the team expects to take down even the tarps that cover Mount Davis, according to a source.
Team president Dave Kaval said Saturday at the team’s FanFest in Jack London Square that the April 17 crowd “could be the largest attended game for baseball in the history of the Coliseum.”
The largest A’s game attendance in Coliseum history was 55,989 on June 26, 2004, against the Giants, but there is now more standing-room-only space.
There’s going to be a giant cake, but no word on a celebratory sewage flood.
