Coronavirus: A's, MLB working on 'alternative plans' after Oakland event ban

The A's are working with MLB "on alternative plans" for home games scheduled in March following the City of Oakland's ban of events with over 1,000 people, the team announced Wednesday.

"We will provide more information about our plans for the games, including our ticket policy for impacted games, as soon as possible," the statement said.

The Giants announced earlier Wednesday the team will not play the preseason home game on March 24 against the A's at Oracle Park due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. This was on the heels of San Francisco mayor London Breed's statement of prohibiting gatherings of more than 1,000 people.
