Pool on attendance for the 3 games?

I’ll start with 45,000 for the 3 games, only because the opener is likely to draw 30k+.

[Amazing Larry]

I'll head out to St. Louis to watch them.

It won't be balls hot out there in the month of May.

OMFG this is what the 5th time in the last 7 years they've opened in Oakland? Angels were supposed to open this year in that hellhole too I think if it wasn't for the lockout. Ridiculous.

[ScottT]

Six times in seven years, though this year was postponed.  Ridiculous.  It's silly that they never get to open the season at home.   

2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023

Boston and New York Yankees back to back in April.   Weather could be an issue.

Milwaukee and St Louis in April/May.

Sadly, they don't visit Pittsburgh.

Don’t worry, eventually the Angels won’t open the season in Oakland anymore… they’ll open the season in Las Vegas instead.

"I can't wait to travel to Oakland again for the season opener," said nobody ever.

Every team will play every other team for the first time in the interleague era. Games against division opponents are reduced to 13 from 19.

As the A's wait on Oakland to made a decision on Howard Terminal and follow "parallel paths" - teamspeak for playing one city against the other. It is really wearing thin here.

Their opening 3-game series this year drew a total of about 25,000 this year. It was against the Orioles, but still...

If this ain't another nail in the coffin that proves the league is out to get the Angels, nothing is...been like this for decades now, the unwanted stepchildren of MLB.

And they are pursuing building a new ballpark in the city that provides this kind of support.
