Peterson: A’s tear down Oakland Coliseum tarps; 5 suggestions what to do with them

A’s president Dave Kaval took to Facebook Live on Tuesday morning for what he termed a “huge announcement.”

No, it’s not a Jack (Three True Outcomes) Cust Bobblehead Night. Think bigger.

“For the upcoming homestand and the rest of the season,” Kaval said, “because the fans have spoken, we’re taking off the tarps. The third deck, the tarps are coming off.”

Specifically, the tarps are coming off the View Level of the Coliseum, where they have been since 2006. The tarps will remain on Mt. Davis, the section named after the late Oakland Raiders owner when the Coliseum was reconfigured in the 1990s for the team’s return from Los Angeles.
