Oakland Athletics Block Minor League Game, Sparking City Council Concern

The decision could impact local jobs and revenue, with the A's facing uncertainty about their future home.

Oakland Athletics blocked a minor league game by the expansion Oakland Ballers that had been scheduled for the Coliseum on June 29.
The Oakland Ballers had a signed agreement in place for that date and a deposit paid when they learned the big league team vetoed the plan without providing a reason.
Two council members from the City of Oakland have mailed a letter to Oakland Athletics President Dave Kaval expressing their concerns with his club’s decision.
Major League Baseball's owners unanimously voted to approve the A's relocation to Las Vegas, with uncertainty about where the A's will play the next three seasons before a new ballpark is slated to open for the 2028 campaign.
Fans are organizing their own 'FansFest' for Feb. 24 in the city's Jack London Square neighborhood and the A's Class-A affiliate Stockton Ports were announced Monday as a sponsor.
