‘Living on a razor’s edge’: Empty seats mean empty wallets for many sports arena workers

For 21 years, Monica Corona has served food and drinks at Oakland Arena during concerts and basketball games, rising in the ranks to concessions lead and even recruiting her three sons to work there.

But since March, there have been no fans for them to serve. Corona and her sons joined an estimated 2,900 stadium workers in the Bay Area placed on furlough, according to union estimates.
