The Oakland Athletics are preparing for a historic night on March 31, 2025, as they host the Chicago Cubs in their Sacramento debut at Sutter Health Park. The minor league ballpark, with 10,624 fixed seats and additional capacity on its outfield lawn, is already sold out, setting the stage for a memorable evening.
Adding extra significance to the occasion, all A's players will wear No. 24 in tribute to franchise icon Rickey Henderson. After splitting their opening series in Seattle, the team is eager to establish themselves in California’s capital for the next three seasons while they await their new Las Vegas stadium. A's pitcher Joey Estes is set to take the mound, facing Cubs' starter Ben Brown, who has been a key presence for Chicago as they arrive fresh off a series in Arizona.
