The Oakland Athletics' planned relocation to Sacramento's Sutter Health Park is facing significant hurdles, primarily due to Major League Baseball's (MLB) lack of agreement on necessary upgrades, including artificial turf installation. Concerns about the safety of outdoor turf during Sacramento's extreme heat have been raised by prominent sports figures like agent Scott Boras. Additionally, new ticket buyers have been informed that postseason events, such as playoff games, are not guaranteed at Sutter Health Park due to MLB's stringent venue requirements. While the A's are set to play their first game in Sacramento on March 31, 2025, the possibility of hosting postseason games at an alternate venue remains open. Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao has expressed skepticism about the A's final departure, stating the city is willing to negotiate. Despite these challenges, the A's maintain they will fulfill their commitment to play in Sacramento for at least three seasons.
