Good morning A’s Nation, happy Sunday.
As the A’s are now just four days away from kicking off the 2024 campaign on Thursday against the Cleveland Guardians, news about that home opener surfaced this weekend. Instead of the normal four-hour allotted time like last year, the A’s parking lot will open on Thursday just two hours before the first pitch at about 5 p.m. PDT.
Two team fan clubs, Oakland 68’s and the Last Dive Bar, have already planned a pregame boycott for Opening Night that will consist of live music, food, a cornhole tournament, and 5000 SELL flags and 1000 pins.
