Fans have organized a 'Reverse Boycott' of the Oakland Athletics for Tuesday's game at the Coliseum to protest the franchise's efforts to leave the Bay Area.
OAKLAND -- Dawn Pieper will show her love for the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night in the spirit of her late husband, Jay, who is the reason she became such a loyal supporter. Lifelong fan Gabriel Hernandez will cheer his heart out in hopes everyone in attendance can make a meaningful, monumental statement that they are far from done fighting to keep their team in the East Bay.They're buying tickets.
Among those planning to attend: the drummers in the right-field bleachers that used to echo their support for the franchise that's been in the Bay Area since 1968. Naomi Arnst, a fan for 51 years, purchased a pair of tickets Monday for $144 each, including service charges, and another $147.50 on parking. The seats in section 110 are close to where she used to sit with corporate tickets. It's all worth the expense to be there Tuesday, and she notes,"With parking it cost as much as an A-list Broadway show."Pieper, a season ticketholder for five years, said her husband who grew up in Oakland would"be sick to his stomach over this situation.
