13,522 showed, and that's 29% of the sum ( 46847 ) so 71% empty seats.

Wikipedia says: Capacity is Baseball: 46,847 (expandable to 56,782 without tarps)
So, "Mount Davis" is tarped off.

Mount Davis, or Mt. Davis, is a section of 20,000 capacity seating at the Oakland Coliseum in Oakland, California, United States. It was built in 1995 at the behest of Oakland City Council with the intent of bringing the Los Angeles Raiders American football team back to Oakland and is named after former Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis. Since 2006, the top-tier seating of Mount Davis has been covered by tarpaulin during all Oakland Athletics baseball games, and the Oakland Raiders followed suit in 2013.

I watched it being built from my daily BART commute at the time.
