We are SO thrilled to hear of the recent news that the Oakland A’s are coming to our neighborhood for the next three seasons! Check out the details in the article from ABC10 Sacramento.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Athletics will make Sutter Health Park their temporary home for a few years before moving to Las Vegas.
Representatives with the A’s announced Thursday the team will be playing in West Sacramento for the next three MLB seasons starting in 2025 as the lease at the Oakland Coliseum expires after the 2024 season. There’s also an option for a fourth season.
“We’re excited to be here for the next three years playing at this beautiful ballpark, but also being able to watch some of the greatest players in baseball whether they be Athletics players or Aaron Judge and others launch home runs out of this very intimate, the most intimate ballpark in baseball, for the next three years,” said A’s Owner and Managing Partner John Fisher at a press conference Thursday.
The A’s were in discussions with the city of Oakland and Alameda County to extend the contract at the Oakland Coliseum, but ABC7 reported ahead of the West Sacramento announcement the partners weren’t close to a deal.
West Sacramento’s Sutter Health Park is the home of the River Cats, the Giants’ Triple-A affiliate owned by Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé. The Sacramento River Cats were the Triple-A affiliate of the Oakland Athletics from 2000 to 2014 and became an affiliate of the San Francisco Giants in 2015, according to the River Cats website.
