Oakland A's Block Minor League B's From Playing at Coliseum

Despite a signed contract and deposit, the A's exercise their exclusive rights to the venue, leaving the B's and fans disappointed.

The Oakland A's have blocked the minor league Oakland B's from playing a game at the Coliseum in June, despite the B's having a signed contract and deposit in place.
The A's, who have exclusive rights to play professional baseball at the Coliseum, declined to grant consent for the B's to use the venue based on their license agreement with the Coliseum Authority.
The A's were approved for relocation to Las Vegas in November, with plans to move into a new stadium on the Las Vegas Strip in 2028.
The B's, an expansion club in the independent Pioneer League, had planned the game as a celebration of Oakland's baseball legacy and the Coliseum.
A's fans are planning a boycott of the March 28 season opener, planning to tailgate, gather and celebrate in the Coliseum parking lot but not actually enter the ballpark.
