The past five seasons have been unkind to the Oakland Athletics. The team has been stuck in no man’s land as getting just 80 wins has proven to be a difficult task. Oakland has missed the playoffs for five straight years. Their best season in that stretch came in 2010 when the team finished at .500 with 81 wins.
It has been even tougher during this stretch for the team to get fans into the seats of the O.co Coliseum. The A’s have an old, unappealing stadium. Management seems to shuffle a mix of young, no-name players with old, washed up players to make up a team that the fans know will not make the playoffs.
Many of those players, due to budget constraints, are in-and-out of the door before the fans can even know their names.
In spite of the A’s going through a rough patch, there are still reasons to watch baseball on that side of the bay. Here’s why a ticket to the A’s game will provide some decent value this year.
