are here and willing to support an mlb franchise, but they refuse to support this team's owner, john fisher i've been going to games ever since i was little. i grew up back in the late 80s, early 90s, going to games. my childhood is here. all my memories from baseball are here and that's why we call it the last dive bar. it may not be the most pretty home, but it's our home. we could go anywhere in the city and be like, oh, 20 years ago, i sat in this seat and watched barry zito win a cy young. i was over here, watched tim hudson when his 20th game and clinched the playoffs for the a's. so all my memories are here. this is my team i grew up with. i don't want them to leave. it's not the fans, it's the owners. >> as for what's next after this opening day, we'll organizers tell us other events are being planned for home games during the season, and our zac sos is at the coliseum tonight talking with fans. so be sure to tune in tonight at ten for his full report and opening day for the team across the bay. although the san francisco giants season opener was in san diego, we found plenty of fan

there's going to be food and games but really, the messages they still want john fisher in the ownership of the a's to sell the team. they want oakland to still continue to have the a's here rooted in oakland but as we know, the move to las vegas was approved last fall but these fans are still holding on to hope. they expect tens of thousands of people to come to tonight's game and are hoping that many of them will spend time right here boycotting and instead of spending money inside the stadium, spend money to keep the a's here in oakland. >> we know the a's are planning to play in vegas in three years. that's a while, right? there is a question on where they're going to play between now and then. what is the latest on the negotiations between oakland in the a's? >> that is an ongoing conversation because the lease for them to play here is done at the end of the season, so where do they go next? that is what the city, county and a's are currently in discussions about. they had a meeting last month and will have one again in a couple of days to talk about a possible lease extension. they

channel our collective frustration into positive action and this is to let billionaire team owner john fisherat they want the team to stay in oakland and not move to the las vegas strip. >> the fans deserve this team. the fans have built up and created the mystique around the a's and you know, we deserve better. so we're hoping eventually somehow, you know, they'll be able to step in and maybe do a quiet payoff fisher, but everything to date hasn't proven that to be the case. >> in the past, the a's have opened up the parking lot four to six hours before the home opener. this is to let the long lines of fans in to tail gate, but yesterday the team released a statement that they will not be opening the parking lot tonight until two hours before game time which is right after 5:00 and it is not clear if this is in response to the planned boycott. this could cause serious problems if the line of fans backs into 880. also, if you're coming to the game tonight, keep in mind there's a concert taking place next door on the oakland arena which is on the same site as the coliseum. next tuesday, the tr

you know, john fisher doesn't deserve our money. the a's organization, the front office do not deserve the love. >> so fans who are boycotting plan to pack the parking lot tomorrow with a massive tailgate, but they won't actually go inside the coliseum. by the way the a's lease at the coliseum extends through the season. it is still unclear where they will play after that before likely moving to las vegas. so let's check in with darren peck right now. it could be a bit of a rainout. not a way to spend your opening day? >> not an ideal way. how bad will it get over there, darren? >> well the thing for tomorrow, which is when the opening day would happen. we are in between systems. you might get an isolated shower tomorrow. we were looking at that early. you can't rule that out. but it wouldn't be long lasting. it certainly wouldn't put a damper on not only the game or the parking lots. all right, let's get into this forecast and put this back into the forecast. i spent a lot of time talking about the rain for today and tomorrow. ther

and instead of spending money on a's tickets, which johansen says team owner john fisher will use to help pay for that relocation, well, the group is encouraging fans to support the oakland ballers minor league baseball team or the oakland roots and soul soccer teams. or how about cheering on the new bay fc women's professional soccer team? it's preparing to kick off its historic first season at home this weekend, and the team has been busy hosting events around the bay area, building up excitement for saturday's inaugural home game. players attended a celebration yesterday in san francisco and today bay fc held its media availability before heading out to practice. so far, the team has played two games on the road. the players say they are looking forward to having their fans in the crowd for the home opener at paypal park in san jose. >> i think that we've had a really good start to the season. our chemistry is there. i think that we're playing really good soccer. you know, obviously there's a lot of things that are going to keep improving and that's super exciting to see where we
