5. The game was pushed up 3 1/2 hours to avoid heavy rain

I wonder how many people dribbled in during the ninth inning, thinking they were watching batting practice.

Hockey season ending....sports fans can only watch so much. Put that on top of frequent postponement due to inclement weather and games on tv. A recipe for fan failure. P.S. Has anyone priced the tickets to a game and snacks? Outrageous for the average fan. We wanted to go to a White Sox/Tampa game last summer. Tickets plus snacks would have cost around $500 for us to go. Opted to stay home and watch. And we're the couple that had our first date at a baseball game in 1959!

4. Athletics raised ticket prices while trading away star players

Coupled with a proposed stadium deal that enriches ownership at the expense and inconvenience of the local population … I’d say fans have seen enough.
