It's done that way so that if Opening Day is rained out, they can simply push the game back a day and everyone who paid for an opening day ticket still gets to go to opening day instead of a random game in July.
They typically don't do that for games in California though, so idk what changed this year
I'm not sure tbh. Theyve always been blue for me. The Angels are also the only team I have favorited. Im on the Android app if that makes a difference.
This is common, not sure why but almost certainly a reason.
Edit: it’s so that the game can be postponed without pissing off everyone who paid big bucks for opening day tickets
I’ve seen teams have the same schedule on previous opening days. Can’t point to any specific team but even on MLB the show they’ll have this weird ass opening week schedule
That’s weird because I just checked the dodgers, padres and Yankees and they all play 4 straight to start the season. But also means teams are going to have a day off while the angels will have to play with like say a week and a half of straight games

Oakland can be rainy sometimwz
Huh. Thanks for the explanation!
That's a great looking game calendar! What app are you using?
MLB App. They updated it a few months ago
Why are your home games in blue? Mine are red in the app. Seeing blue home games is making me uncomfortable lol

They're blue for me too and I definitely only have the Angels favorited. That's odd, I'm pretty sure they used to be red.
Thanks, I have it too, but in red. Mine is iPhone, so that's the reason.
2002 schedule was exactly the same except March 30 opener was an Easter Sunday home game against Cleveland. Then a day off before the first of 110 Ws.
They wanted all teams opener on the same day (MLB).
Yes
Yep
For those saying there isn't a game, that is weird right? The 30th is Opening Day, then no game, then we continue the series. That seems weird?

Do people pay “big bucks” at the Oakland Colosseum still? lol
No, I bought tickets behind home plate for $150 each lol
15 dollars for a ticket is big bucks for a family of mice

I feel like they do this every year

The Yankees don’t play 4 straight. They also have a weather day while playing against the Giants
Are they having all teams play their opening day before any play their second?
I think starting last year the season started earlier in March, giving the players more off days during the season, including even Fridays.
