The A’s will be playing their home games at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, Calif., this season as they wait for their new stadium in Las Vegas, Nev., to be built. Sutter Health Park is a minor-league park and does not have the amenities of most MLB stadiums, though the Oakland Coliseum wasn’t exactly keeping up with modern standards either. But the makeshift press room set up by the A’s in Sacramento has left a lot to be desired.
NBC Sports Bay Area’s Ben Ross shared a photo on X Monday of the setup, which looked embarrassing.

Fans had all sorts of jokes about the setup, which was widely regarded as substandard.
I'm pretty sure I saw this exact shed at Home Depot yesterday

Looks like the parking lot of a Home Depot

And this tent completes the circus.

Fans also noted that the tent would probably be very uncomfortable come summer when it’s over 100 degrees outside.
The A’s had to come up with a makeshift setup for the media. That’s the best they apparently could do. It’s quite a narrow area.
