Oakland Ballers' Home Opener Draws Huge Crowd and Community Support

The Oakland Ballers' inaugural home opener at Raimondi Park drew a sold-out crowd of over 4,000 fans despite the sweltering heat. The event was a celebration of Oakland's new baseball team, featuring appearances by local celebrities and politicians, tailgating festivities, and significant community support. Although the Ballers lost 9-3 to the Yolo High Wheelers, the night was more about the community spirit and the promise of a new, locally embraced franchise.

Oakland A's Deny Minor League Team's Bid to Play at Coliseum

The Oakland A's have blocked the new Pioneer League team, the Oakland Ballers, from hosting a game at the Oakland Coliseum, citing their exclusive rights to play professional baseball at the venue. The Ballers had planned the event as a celebration of baseball in Oakland and had already secured an agreement with the Coliseum's management. Despite the setback, the Ballers are looking for alternative ways to engage with the community and will participate in the upcoming Fan's Fest on February 24. The A's are in their final lease year at the Coliseum and are approved to relocate to Las Vegas, though their new stadium won't be ready until at least 2028.

"Oakland Ballers Join A's in Las Vegas Move, Creating Pro Baseball Powerhouse"

The Oakland Ballers, a new professional baseball team, will join the independent Frontier League as the league's newest franchise in 2024. The team aims to be a community-focused organization and has raised approximately $2 million in seed money, allowing anyone to become a part owner by contributing to their fundraising efforts. Meanwhile, the Oakland A's are planning to relocate to Las Vegas for the 2028 season, but it is uncertain where they will play from 2025-2027 after their lease at RingCentral Coliseum expires.
