Athletics drop Oakland' from their name ahead of West Sacramento move
Briefly

The Oakland Athletics are officially rebranding, now designating themselves as 'ATH' and will be based at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, reaffirming their historic identity with the use of 'A's' for second references.
After 57 years in Oakland, the Athletics played their final game at the Coliseum on Sept. 26, 2023, marking the end of an era with an emotional send-off from the fans.
Moving forward, the franchise plans to play in West Sacramento for three to four years before relocating to Las Vegas, continuing its long history of city transitions.
The recent rebranding effort and the team’s movement comes amid mixed emotions from fans, encapsulating a deep sense of loss as they bid farewell to a long-standing local icon.
