Orioles 4/20 game moved to 6:07 PM EDT

[Going Underground]

Game is 6:07 EDT.

Also yesterday's game drew 3 ,748 announced attendance. So Orioles attendance is great.

My MLB app says 3:37 and I believe that is EDT right?

To be clear, the thread title is correct.  6:07 EDT, 3:07 PDT today.   They moved it to avoid bad weather expected tonight in Oakland.

April/May in the bay area is pretty brutal.  High winds.  Nights in the 40's/50's.  

Also, I can't think of a team in baseball in more of a need for a new stadium than Oakland.  Tampa (St. Pete) may be worse but that fan base/city doesnt't deserve a new stadium.  Not really fair to compare the Coliseum to Camden Yards.

Personally, my experience at the Coliseum was much better than at the Trop, but of all the stadiums I've been to those are certainly the bottom 2 (and it isn't particularly close).

I've talked to people who have had decent experiences at the Coliseum.  I've never been.  The trop is just terrible and you can't get away from that terrible roof.  But Tampa/St. Pete should have never been given a team to begin with. 

It's amazing to me that Oakland hasn't been able to figure out a way to finance a new stadium.  Especially considering how much money is generated from the surrounding area in both tax revenue and private $$.  The last relic from the cookie cutter dual purpose stadiums of the 1960's and 70's.

I went ahead and fixed the title and first post with the correct time zone.

No Tony, it was right before and is incorrect now.   It’s not 3:07 EDT, it’s 6:07 EDT and 3:07 PDT.

Did Oakland ever get any bad weather last night?   It seemed fine during the game and I see a 0% precipitation forecast for today's game. 

They had a reason for moving the game 3.5 hours earlier last night, I thought it was a rainy forecast for later last night and today.

At the beginning of today's game they showed scenes from outside the Coliseum and there were multiple puddles on the ground, so apparently it did rain there last night and/or early this morning.
