The Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum is a throwback. The ticket prices are very reasonable and it reminded me of Shea Stadium. This old stadium is definitely worth a visit.
Great Ballpark Energy, fun place to go with friends! All the workers are super nice and helpful. You can bring Your OWN food into the park! And drinks! Frozen ice cream is great! Go support the A's!!!
Anyone who doesn't like the Coli is just jealous of all the A's accomplishments throughout history. Even with Mt. Davis O.co is one of the best parks in baseball! The atmosphere is always electric!
Best baseball team in the Bay Area, bar none. If you don't need the pretty views, gourmet food, and fufu crowds, this is the spot for you. A place for blue collar fans who are really into the game!
The ugliest stadium in MLB/NFL. Probably one of the reasons the raiders jilted Oakland again. The A’s must get a new stadium soon or they may be moving to Sacramento. Oakland deserves a new field.
Best craft beer options are at the Gastropub, in the West Side Club, on the second deck and right behind home plate. They also serve made-to-order brick oven pizzas that are surprisingly good.
Of course it's old, decrepit, in a bad part of town, and Mt. Davis is an abomination. But its still fun to watch a game. Home of 4 World Series titles and 2 Super Bowl champions.
Wanna meet THE BEST, LOUDEST, FRIENDLIEST, MOST CREATIVE & FUN FANS IN ALL OF BASEBALL? Come to the Coliseum! Sit behind the bullpen, on the rail in 119 or the crAziest exp try the bleachers! ;)
The food is super expensive--like any other stadium, and the stairs are a killer not only from the entrance to the seat but from the bart to your seat. but it is a great stadium in the city of Oakland
If you're a die-hard A's fan, the place to be is section 149 in the RF bleachers, home to some of the most entertaining fans in baseball (otherwise, look for cheap infield seats on StubHub).
I LOVE O.CO AND THE OAKLAND ATHLETICS!!! IF U DONT YOU JUST ARE NOT THAT BRIGHT, I GUESS! And if you are a gnats fan ... there's always the BayBridge or the GG to jump off!!!
It's difficult when you've been drinking, but you'll have an easier time leaving if you take the same route you came in. Even better get a ride share in B lot.
There is a BART stop right outside of the stadium. Foul territory is huge so the seats aren't close to the field. If you need help deciding which Seats to Purchase for your next A's game, check out Read more
The fan experience is boring, but always a great idea for visiting team fans to come here. As for Bay Area baseball fans, SF Giants fans have more class than A's fans since A's fans love to hate
You’ll find some of the best tailgates in Lots A and G. Once inside, grab a Saag’ssausage with peppers and onions and don’t forget the side of garlic fries. Read more
Watch your language during A's games! It can get you ejected from the game! I saw three fans get ejected for using excessive profanity after being warned twice (three strikes and you're OUT!)
Sit on the OF grass after every promotional Fireworks Night game. Following the final out, fans will be invited to sit on the field to watch the sky high show. Field seating is limited. Read more
May 8, 1968: Catfish Hunter, tossed the fourth perfect game in American League history. Hunter struck out 11 AND was productive at the plate, going 3-for-4 and driving in three runs. Read more
Watching the Raiders can be intimidating for sure. But once you get past the black face paint, spikes, chains, etc. you realize they are great folks. Just cheer for the Raiders to be safe though. ;)
You can now buy Seat and Experiential Upgrades at all A's home games! Download the MLB at the Ballpark app to upgrade: http://oakland.athletics.mlb.com/oak/ticketing/upgrades.jsp
The Coliseum playing field is 22 ft below sea level. The pitcher’s mound is 10 in. above the field, which means the pitcher stands slightly higher than his teammates at almost 21 ft below sea level. Read more
Be advised that the Dryer's stand by section 130 is the ONLY stand that will let you buy a water bottle with credit card in this entire stadium. Even on the hottest day of summer...
The stadium has hosted Oakland Raidersfootball between 1966-81 &1995-today, & Oakland A's baseball since 1968. On May 1, 1991, Rickey Henderson stole his 939th career base becoming an all-time leader
Visit The Burger Shack behind Section 132 or the Grill Shack behind Section 211 for great Hamburgers, Cheeseburgers, Texas Grilled Cheese sandwiches, and fries. Read more
This was da bomb in the 70's but now it just blows! As need to go to San Jose, they will welcome Al and his traitors back in lipstick city and build a new venue for him there I am sure!
Veggie dogs are in section 220. If you are not seated on the club section, ask for an escort, which they will do. Often it takes persistence and a couple of tries.
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, an AEG managed facility, is the premiere sports & entertainment venue in Northern Caifornia. Home of the Oakland Raiders & Oakland Athletics.
