Oakland A’s FanFest is coming! The big day is tomorrow, Saturday, Jan. 28, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Jack London Square.
Two key facts:
- FanFest is NOT AT THE COLISEUM this year. It’s at Jack London Square. Make sure you go to the right place!
- FanFest is free this year. ZERO DOLLARS. The perks of a last-place team.

Here’s a map of the event/venue (click it to enlarge ... wait, phrasing):
