The Oakland Athletics are playing home games at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, Ca., as the club waits for its permanent home in Las Vegas, Nev., to be built and ready for game play. And Sutter Health Park, also the home of the San Francisco Giants' Triple-A affiliate Sacramento River Cats, has received, err, mixed reviews for its many quirks.
First, the Athletics' setup for press conferences, which looked like the close relative of a backyard shed, was much-maligned by fans. Then, the Chicago Cubs' Seiya Suzuki found out the hard way that the visitor's clubhouse is oddly located beyond left-center field, meaning there is no direct clubhouse-to-dugout access. Finally, a game operations mishap resulted in a golf cart running out of gas at the worst possible time, delaying an April game between the Athletics and New York Mets.
