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.

Derek Gardner

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!!!

Jenilynn Johnson

The sell beer in the stands + so many great places to go and have great food + beer and watch the A's!

Harrison Johnson

Doesn't have a lot of glim and glam but some of the best fans I've ever met. Really good time.

Jennifer Halligan

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!

Chris T

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!

WhiskyAvenger

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 .

J L

Saag 's "Atomic Hot" sausage and tons of craft beers on tap puts the offerings at "nicer" stadiums to shame.

Al S

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.

Andrew Viloria

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.

Jennifer Halligan

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! ;)

Alma Armenta

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

Mark

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).

Jeff S.

The "Black Hole" at Oakland Alameda County Coliseum consists of sections 104-107 in the stadium 's south end zone.

Jennifer Halligan

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 Bay Bridge or the GG to jump off!!!

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

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.

Jason Li

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

National Football Post.com

You’ll find some of the best tailgates in Lots A and G. Once inside, grab a Saag’s sausage with peppers and onions and don’t forget the side of garlic fries . Read more

Patrick Finley (@pjfinley)

Great atmosphere during game 5 of the ALCS vs. the Tigers. Not the best stadium , but it's all good.

John Cassillo

Half the time, you'll find cheaper tickets on the A's website than StubHub, even the day of the game. Outfield seats are fantastic for just $15.

Jason Li

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!)

Marvin Andujar

It was a good game. I saw Kurt Suzuki hit a home run. Although, the stadium need some remodeling. You still can have a good time.

Oakland Athletics

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

Dave S

Food truck plaza . But let’s do our part to make sure the A’s get a quality stadium for years to come. The Coliseum is old and needs to be replaced.

Sports Illustrated

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

Jean L

Upgrade needed! The small tvs to view the game when you go to the food stands , the slim selection at the food stand , the shared urinals!!!

Island Bruin

If you want sun, sit on 1st base side, field level. If you want the best team in baseball , sit anywhere. Go A's.

Darryl Dioso

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. ;)

Galen West

The coliseum isn't the nicest place to see a game but it is still very enjoyable to see the #redsox play the #athletics.

Tony Jelke

If you have suite tickets, you can go just about any loction in the stadium including the entrance tunnel and cheerleader landing!

Mr Maggio

Home of the Raiders , one of the few old stadiums , get to visit it before the build another one...

Jeffrey Lowy

The food sucks but you can't beat free parking on Tuesday and a $4 ticket.

MLB

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

David Holtz

Don't forget to wear sunscreen for day games. Oakland is hot, and the coliseum is basically a giant frying pan.

Sarah G

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...

Cuong Le

Best food is the Westside Club. You can get a brick oven pizza and all kinds of beer on tap .

HISTORY

The stadium has hosted Oakland Raiders football 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

Brandon Cain

Older stadium but still a great time. Tickets are super cheap . Don't skip on the load tots

David Schwartz

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!

they all call her alaska

Friday four pack - 4 tickets 4 meals for 50 bucks - can't be beat! And $2 tickets every Wednesday! ! Love the green and gold.

James T

Bring your own food. You can't bring in drinks, though.

Kelly Kunaniec

The $4.75 grilled cheese at the Burger Shack behind section 132 is delicious and a decent deal for ballpark food.

Joe Sarabia

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.

Brian Strauss

I grew up here. I therefore have to love it.

John Brasley

Great fans, good team spirit.

Jaron James

Try taking the BART to the stadium and try the nachos with the beans. I didn't and am fully regretting the choice :(
