Overview

• Oakland Athletics supporters are organizing a reverse boycott to pack the stadium for a June 13 game against Tampa Bay to demonstrate fans still back the team even with poor attendance and on-field performance.
• The Athletics have MLB's lowest payroll, raised ticket prices after a losing season, and traded away their best players without finding replacements.
• The A's haven't won a playoff series since 2006 and are coming off a 60-102 season, contributing to MLB's worst attendance.
• Fans believe the Athletics have given them little reason to attend but want to prove support for the team in hopes of keeping them in Oakland.
• The A's are more likely to get a new stadium in Oakland or move to Las Vegas than be eliminated from MLB.
