wow. I hope it really backfires on them.

That seems short sighted.

Nice April Fool’s post - but Oracle Park might be the only halfway child-friendly place left in San Francisco. :)

“I asked if there was any concern about losing future generations of fans by preventing them from attending games in person.”

Future? You mean beyond the next quarter? Nope. US corporations care not one bit.

This only makes business sense if every game is a sellout, thousands are turned away every game, and it is expected to remain that way for a long time. It is one more sign of the anti-family, anti-little guy trend that the left is promoting.

But I’m sure they were very welcome at SF Transgender Visibility Day celebration.

God is not mocked.

I had to look three times to make sure this wasn’t the bee. This is an incredibly stupid decision.

They're gonna have a new "Tinder Park" which I imagine is some sort of singles hook-up place.

Given that it's SF we're talking about, they really should have a Grinder Park.

Baseball is a kids’ game

Really? Like Marbles and Jacks?

Writer is an imbecile.

An 8 year-old (boy, especially) who watches his favorite player, on his favorite team, will be a fan for life.

In sum, they’ve stopped investing in new fans

also, its incredibly insulting to families.

Makes ZERO sense to me, but what do I know?

Perfect April Fools joke by Murph. It plays really well with the coverage the Giants have been getting lately.

Since Al Davis died and the Raiders moved away, the Bay Area sports media has turned their ire towards the A’s and Giants. The Giants hatred is due to the largest shareholder, Charles Johnson, being MAGA.

With this demo shift we plan to cater to YAs [young affluents], singles, DINO [dual income, no kids], empty nesters. With so much social isolation we think our new human engagement options like the Grindr Gate and Tinder Park sponsored by Coca-Cola will really drive activity.

Ya' sure it's an April Fools story? This sounds dead on target for San Francisco....

I could see a lot of cheering if this joke was about airlines doing the same.

[CIB-173RDABN]

It reads like a April Fool joke. Didn’t get past the first two paragraphs.

I remember my Dad taking me to see the Nashville Vols at Sulphur Dell in Nashville in the late 50s. Damn, those were the days.

[Rummyfan]

This is outrageous.

Baseball is no longer America’s favorite past time.....

[Reno89519]

Yep, kill your future. Stupid move.
