Halftime Performers
If your group would like the chance to perform at a fan-friendly, family oriented event Oakland Athletics is the place for you.  Check your calendar for what date your group is available and we'll see if we have an event for your group.  We would love to have you perform at one of our upcoming events! 

All performances must be tasteful, family-oriented, and participants must be fully clothed at all times.

Examples of halftime performances include special talent groups such as, but not limited to: jump rope groups, dance groups, & youth sports.  Half-time performers must complete the attached application to be considered for halftime performances.




Halftime Youth Team Scrimmages (must be 6th grade and under)
  • Youth Halftime Soccer Scrimmages
  • Youth Halftime Basketball Scrimmages (November 2012-March 2013)
Don't pass up the opportunity to have your youth basketball team play on the O'Rena court during an OU athletic competition halftime.  The 2011-12 Oakland Athletic seasons saw a number of halftime scrimmage appearances by our very own local youth teams and greatly look forward to offering the same opportunity during the 2012-13 seasons. 

Oakland Athletics is excited about bringing the O'Rena experience to the youth of our community, and we feel that the excitement of both our men's and women's basketball teams is the perfect way to do that.
