A's knew about BART fireworks debacle weeks in advance, emails show

The A's knew for weeks that a transportation problem was brewing for their big fireworks game Friday night, emails obtained by this news organization show. The pyrotechnic spectacle, following the game against the Boston Red Sox, was supposed to cement a return to normal after the A's lifted capacity limitations at the Coliseum this week. But fans hoping to ride BART to the Coliseum and back learned only this week that the last trains would leave the station before it was over.
