OAKLAND ATHLETICS

WHERE THEY PLAY: Hohokam Stadium, 1235 N. Center St., Mesa, AZ 85201 SEATING CAPACITY: 10,000 STADIUM CONTACT: spring@athletics.com SPRING TRAINING INFORMATION: athletics.com/spring ABOUT THE STADIUM: In 1977, the Oakland Athletics opened the then newly built Hohokam Stadium. Thirty-seven years later, the A’s returned to Hohokam, this time to a newly renovated state-of-the-art facility in the heart of Mesa. With fresh green-and-gold paint, a new shaded terrace level, upgraded concessions and a high-definition scoreboard, Hohokam Stadium is the perfect place to catch an A’s game. In addition to multi-level seating, the stadium offers visitors plenty of shaded seating and picnic areas — a perfect place to feast on Bay-Area inspired food and beverage options. TASTY TREATS: Hohokam Stadium offers some of the best specialty food options in the Cactus League. Visit the Left Field Deck area for a delicious variety of local restaurants and nontraditional ballpark plates. INTERESTING FACT: Unlike most Cactus League teams, the A’s take batting practice in the stadium before the game. So get to the ballpark early to catch a homerun and grab some autographs. ATHLETICS’ 2020 SEASON: For the first time since 2013, the A’s are the champions of the AL West. The team had the second-best overall record in the American League earning them the 2nd seed in the new 2020 playoff format. The A’s advanced to the division series after eliminating the Chicago White Sox in the Wild Card round, but ultimately fell to the Houston Astros three games to one. LAST WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP: 1989 PLAYERS TO WATCH: Matt Chapman, 3B; Matt Olson, 1B; Jesus Luzardo, SP; Sean Murphy, C; Ramon Laureano, CF; Chris Bassitt, SP. MANAGER: Bob Melvin TEAM MASCOT: Stomper AFTER THE GAME: Check out Mesa Riverview, a regional, open-air destination shopping center featuring dining, shopping and entertainment of a wide variety for all ages, located near Dobson Road and Loop 202.
