The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Oakland A's, 3-2, on Sunday at Oakland Coliseum. The game was played in front of an unusually robust crowd as Dodgers fans took advantage of a multitude of affordable seating options.
With the Athletics moving to Sacramento next season, and then maybe to Las Vegas at some point after that, the Bay Area crowd has all but disappeared. Oakland is dead last in MLB attendance this season, averaging fewer than 10,000 fans per game. The Dodgers are first in attendance, selling more than 48,000 tickets a game. Really, what a great opportunity for Dodgers fans who live a few hours north of Los Angeles.
