All large public events at city-owned facilities in Oakland, including Athletics baseball games, were ordered canceled Wednesday through the end of March, another measure taken by a local jurisdiction to try to limit the spread of the coronavirus.
City Administrator Sabrina Landreth issued an order effective immediately to postpone or cancel all events through at least the end of March at city-owned facilities with capacities of 1,000 people or more.
Those sites include the Fox Theater, Paramount Theater, and the Oakland Convention Center. The Oakland-Alameda Coliseum Authority also has canceled events at the Coliseum and Arena through the end of the month.
Oakland A’s games are among the affected events, with the A’s home opener on March 26 and subsequent home games at the Coliseum through the end of March canceled.
The team issued a statement about the change, saying they are “working with Major League Baseball on alternative plans for our games that will be impacted by the Oakland Coliseum.”
The team said, “We will provide more information about our plans for the games, including our ticket policy for impacted games, as soon as possible.”
The canceled or postponed concerts at the Oakland Arena are for Ana Gabriel on March 19 and Andre Rieu on March 22. An Oakland Panthers game at the arena this Saturday will still take place, but without a crowd in
attendance, according to the city. But fans can still bet on it through sites such as W88.
San Francisco and Santa Clara County are among jurisdictions in recent days that have taken similar measures, affecting large events such as Golden State Warriors basketball games and San Jose Sharks hockey games.
