Oakland Coliseum

It was my first time visiting the Oakland Coliseum, and overall, I had a good experience. I was here for the MLC 🏏 and got to watch two matches, MI New York 👕vs Texas Super Kings 💛, which drew a decent crowd and was managed quite well☺️. The stadium itself has great infrastructure and a large seating capacity.🏟️ However, during the second match, I came with my partner who had a broken foot. Since we’re not from SFO, we took the BART to get there. The walk from the BART station to the gates is quite long. At Gate A, we asked for a wheelchair but were told we had to first enter from Gate D. Though she was assisted with a wheelchair once we got in, the long walk had already been done. Also, our seats were very close to the ground, but there was no accessible ramp in that section, something that could really be improved for future events.🧑‍🦼 Aside from that, we enjoyed our time at the stadium and appreciated the energy and atmosphere of the games.

The staff were super friendly and the place was perfectly clean. It was a nice family atmosphere with zero disturbances. My only complaint is the concession food which is both incredibly unhealthy and expensive. (Water is $8 for a 20oz bottle) They don’t allow outside food. The photos I took show concession stand menus on June 17, 2025. I did not photograph some of the closed stands. The whole venue is cashless. Churros: Cinnamon Churros (2) ………….....……... $10 Stuffed Churros (2) …………………......….. $12 20oz Pepsi, Pepsi Zero, Starry, Water $8 Javi’s Cooking: Empanadas (2) beef, chicken, mushroom or jamon $16 20oz Pepsi, Pepsi Zero, Starry, Water .……..........….… $8 24oz Coors Light ………………………………….........…….…. $18 24oz Modelo …………………………………………..........………. $19 24oz Modelo Chelada ………………………..........………….. $18 Cayman Jack or White Claw Canned Cocktail ........ $18 Lilikoi: Boba Tea ……………………..........……………. $10 Mochi Donuts ………………….........………… $5 Macaroons (6) ………………………........…… $10 20oz Pepsi, Pepsi Zero, Starry, Water $8 Tante’s: Beef Hot Link ……..…. $12 Chicken Apple …….... $12 Smoked Bratwurst .. $12 At another Tante’s stand: Chicken Strip Basket $16 (it’s an order of fries + 3 chicken strips) Garlic Fries …………..... $10 (fresh & hot but underdone, scant garlic) Fries ……………….....……. $8 Same beverages as other concessions Pizza Zone: Cheese Pizza .… $14 Pepperoni Pizza $14 Kettle Corn ....…. $11 Popcorn ….…...…. $8 Assorted Candy .$8 Same beverages as other concessions Cal Coast Concessions: Hot Dogs ….… $9 (didn’t try it but I saw that it was quite large) Nachos ….…... $9 Kettle Corn …. $9 Caramel Corn $11 (I found this to be very tasty) Licorice Rope $11 Cheese Cup .. $3.50 Same beverages as other concessions Full Belly Bakery: Assorted Cookies ….…. $6 Brownies and Blondies $6 Vegan/GF Truffles …….. $10 Cake Bites (6) ………..….. $12 Same beverages as other concessions Strategy for frugal people: You are allowed to bring an empty, “soft” water bottle. I brought an empty disposable water bottle. The tapwater is just fine. I suspect your best buy is a hotdog for $9. They are larger than ordinary hotdogs. Eat before you get here or smuggle food in your pockets (not in your 14in x 14in x 6in bag because they will search it). Look up the list of prohibited items on the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum website. I appeal to Commissioner Chris Iglesias. Your bio states you have “dedicated [your] career to executing a social equity agenda”. Commissioner David Haubert, you say you “began [your] professional career in the food industry”. Commissioner Jacqueline Thompson, your bio says “Having been born and raised in Oakland, she is deeply committed to the social and economic revitalization and development of the City [of Oakland]“ and that you work on behalf of the “community considered the least and most marginalized”. Commissioner Kevin Jenkins, you “served as the Director of Housing for an anti-poverty organization, working directly with community members to explore creative ways to address the rising rent and build affordable housing.” Commissioner John Beam, with your background in sports, I trust you remember the heyday of the Coliseum when it was known for affordable concession food. It is written that you have “brought numerous programs and opportunities to the city of Oakland.” Chair Rebecca Kaplan, it is written that you are “working to improve quality of life by enhancing economic opportunity, public safety and vibrancy in Oakland.” I appeal to the African American Sports & Entertainment Group who prominently states “Creating Economic Equity Through Sports/Entertainment & Community Development” on the homepage of their website. One of your objectives is “the benefit of Oakland's most under-served communities in East Oakland.” I hope it is in your plan to improve food affordability and healthy options at the Coliseum.

J.Hope was entertaining and a showman. A flexible and smooth dancer. Crowd pleaser and interacts with the fans. As he notes “ his energy”. That was cool. Its always great with the people you are with. The Mezzanine suites was a game changer. Loved the private powder room.” As always, post wherever u end up , u never know.

Jhope Concert was excellent and my granddaughter absolutely had a great time and me too. The arena could use some updating. I was not happy with the parking assistance staff. I bought VIP parking and there weren't any directional signs pointing to where the lots were and I couldn't get clear directions by the parking lot staff. I arrived early to avoid any delays and was very disappointed. I will go elsewhere for events in the future.

Went here for a couple games during their last season in Oakland and I also went during their last 2 games! The Coliseum definitely had it's own charm and personality. I could see a lot of history from this place as they were well displayed all around the stadium. However, it's also sad to see because this place was not well maintained and taken care of. Some seats, especially the upper level seats, were dirty and had dried bird poop on them. You can tell that they were just not cleaned up a lot. It sucks that the people of Oakland will lose their team because they are wonderful fans! It's a nice ballpark because of it's history but it's just not well taken care of. I did, however, enjoy my time watching the Oakland Athletics every time!

Watched a game of cricket. The game was fun, but the facility needs a lot of improvements. No where close to the ball park.

This stadium is interesting, to say the least. It sure shows its age, but that is really the only downside, as there are some good things about it. Parking is convenient and never packed. The food isn't half bad, with some good options around the ballpark. The staff is nice, and the seats are very good. I'm sad to see the A's go, but they will be in a better venue in Vegas.

Traffic was congested while entering but it flowed well once inside of the parking lot. We were able to park near the entrance. The entrance was organized and the staff was friendly from the security gate to the bar staff and ushering staff.

12th MLB Stadium. It's a shame the Athletics have left. The entrance getting off the BART isn't too great, feels like you're entering a prison with all the barbed wire. Concessions were a bit dreary, one of the rudest concessions worker I have ever come across - put a damper on my evening. Stadium had more minor league or high school vibes going on. We sat in section 112 and had a great views right by 1st base and the visitors dugout.

Beautiful Park with so much history here. You were just not going to see multi-sport combo parks like this anymore so it's really truly a shame it's going away (FJF). Spent 3 days here in August and September 2024 and just truly wished I had spent more time here over the years. Literally everywhere you go just seeps nostalgia from a team with an incredible history. No doubt the stadium is aging, but that is clearly also part of the charm. Truly wish baseball wasn't looked at as strictly a business, but more so part of a cities culture. FJF. #OaklandForever

I grew up in the east Bay and grew up an Oakland A's fan. Sad that they played their last game here on September 26, 2024. The ownership did not run this organization like it should have. The rumors and comments of how this probably was the worst professional stadium in all of sports was not an exaggeration. The stadium was a dump. On the flipside tickets were always cheap and the concessions were very very reasonable. And of course, my favorite baseball team growing up played here. Lots of good memories. I'm pretty sure visiting fans probably did not love this place. And to really enjoy going here. You really have to love baseball lol. It's not like the other park across the bay where people go just because it's a fun thing to do.

I sure miss my Oakland Raiders, but when I was at the LV stadium for the Super Bowl earlier this year, it was beautiful. Going to miss my A's also, glad I am frequenting LV more and more again. Quality/Quantity - As we are regulars at the Oakland Coliseum, I am surprised that I have never had season passes... But I have hosted so many games and events here for my team and volunteers. Old stadium, but works fine to me. It helps that I know my way around as a regular. Atmosphere - 132 acres. 10,000 parking spaces. Baseball seating = 46,847 (expandable to 56,782 without tarps). Football seating = 53,200 (expandable to 63,132). Concerts seating = 47,416 or 64,829 (depending on configuration). Service - Good. Price - Inexpensive compared to all the other Bay Area teams. Owner Comments - Congrats on your success since 1966. Thanks for making sporting events affordable.

This was my 25th ballpark and 23rd team (Cincinnati and Yankee for 2 separate stadiums). As a young teenager of the late 80's and early 90's, this would have been Mecca for me. Sadly that is no longer the case as this place is now a Shithole. But I'll get to that part. I rate ballparks on 4 sets of criteria Architecture. Food, Fanbase and a piece I just call other. Architecture: It's a shit hole as stated earlier. The A's have played here for 57 years and while a lot of great baseball was played here, the park has always been crap. For many years, they split the field with the NFL's Raiders. I remember seeing football games and seeing a baseball diamond on the field. They had the biggest foul territory of all time because of it being built for football and the bullpen was worse than any high school I've ever seen. It's basically in foul territory and a ball could easily end up in fair territory. The corridors were dark and old feeling. Food: No idea but I saw nothing that would make me think it was worthy of anything. They had very limited places open. Like what I saw rivaled a Little League ball park. Fan Base: There were less than a thousand people here on Satchel Paige in a rocking chair bobblehead night. It's not there fault between ownership and local politics, I get why they don't come Other: Man this team has a great history and the fans of Oakland deserved better. The area itself has had major issues with homeless, crime, poverty, etc. There are no bars in a walking distance to be festive and it's just kind of by itself. And now the A's are gone. Sad.

Oakland Alameda Coliseum was the big name music venue when I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area. I went to Oakland for rock concerts. I'm not one to say if the acoustics are good or bad I just loved hearing the music. I know there was no problem entering and exiting. I love attending Music Events at this venue. My most memorable experience was June 19, 1970 when a date took me to see Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. My date had tickets for the floor in front of the stage. The folding chairs were not great to stand on. I had no choice as I'm short. When everyone on the floor stood up as soon as the band came on stage, I couldn't see the stage. It wasn't the most comfortable show I've attended. I wouldn't hesitate to return to this venue for a show in the future. I would make sure I had a seat in the stands though! I'm recommending.

The Oakland A's are leaving Oakland after the 2024 season. So I thought I would catch one last game to bid adieu to the Coliseum. It was all bittersweet last visit. Unfortunately the Toronto Blue Jays dealt the A's a shut out. Parking is $30, they take cash or card. The BART station has a stop here as well. The stadium seats 47,000 but if I guessed, attendance seemed to be less than 10,000 for the Saturday I attended. The ushers let upper deck folks sit at mid level. I got there a hour early and it was sad to see that there was garbage left from the prior event. It was laying about in the stadium seats. The stadium looked to have lost its luster and showing signs of neglect. The field was beautiful though. The digital scoreboard was modern and impressive. The field is sunken and below sea level. So when fans enter, they enter the first level concourse. The concourses have A's memorabilia on the walls. I made it a point to do one last walk about. Ohh the memories. I grew up in an Oakland A's baseball loving family. 1968-2024 Oakland A's.

#23 of 30. You know what? To hell with all the naysayers and those hipster millennials that wrote a few articles on Thrillist or Buzzfeed that have no idea what they're talking about and have probably never even been to this stadium. Yes, I came here specifically because when news broke that this would be the final year for the A's in Oakland, I had to make a special trip. Along with the O.Co, I also did Oracle Park, Dodger Stadium, and Angel Stadium. The first thing that is abundantly clear is that the owners and staff do not give a frick about this place. They were understaffed for entrance security and ticket scanning, all employees in the concourse are zombies. Owners wanted to GTFO and build a fancy stadium, but that is a real shame. The Coliseum has old school 80s/90s charm, that's for sure. But I don't hate it. At all. In fact, I liked it. Big time nostalgia of old stadiums growing up. Back before stadiums were amusement parks, using a Bauhaus sort of ethos, it was built simply to serve a purpose, and you actually watched baseball. There's a concourse, a few basic food stalls, and entrances to the seating area. The way these ballpark write-ups talk about foul territory make it sound like you'll need binoculars to watch the action. Not at all. Way over-exaggerated. This review is a moot point because, well, the overlords got their wish and the Oakland Athletics will be no more. The fans at the game I went to were awesome. You don't get that at fancy-pants stadiums... in fact, quite the opposite. Oakland deserves better.

I went recently to O.Co for Monster Jam and unfortunately, this event was held inside. I have been here for Monster Jam in the past and it is a great stadium - IF you go to the one OUTDOORS. If you end up at one that is held inside - DON'T GO! It is a waste of money as the trucks do not have enough room to really put on a show. The following factors do not bother me specifically, but it is important to note that Monster Trucks performing indoors can give people headaches, from the volume of the engines in an enclosed space to the fumes of gas engines in an enclosed space. Be aware of this especially if you are taking little ones. Apart from these issues, I prepaid for parking, and due to an A's game being held at the same time the parking situation was a nightmare as the parking lot had already filled. I guess they oversold tickets for parking. Our first indicator of the issue was being stuck at a dead stop on the freeway for over 30 minutes and not moving an inch. After talking to a gentleman in another vehicle who was trying to get out he stated that they had been stuck there for over an hour and hadn't moved. Hearing this I got out of line and went to the next exit up trying to find an alternate way into the parking lot I had already paid for. I was unable to get in and had to park on the side streets in a neighborhood and hoof it across the bridge. Once inside I tried to talk to someone about refunding my money and they said I would need to go to guest services. I went to guest services and they were absolutely no help because they said I had to contact the help number for O.Co during the hours of 8 am - 5 pm, Monday - Friday. On Monday I called O.Co left a voice message and still have never heard back. I also emailed them and did not receive a response. The next weekend I had another event at the same location it was a 21 Pilots concert. I was able to talk to someone who told me I needed to contact TicketMaster for a refund. Ultimately, I tried that. I tried everything and I still have not gotten back the $40 I shelled out for parking I didn't use. I was/am very disappointed in this venue and the lack of service I received. They should not allow ticket sales to continue once the lot is full.

The A's are leaving. Done deal. Last season to ever see them again in Oakland. If you're a MLB fan then this is a sad situation. Nuff said. We got to watch the league's best closer, throwing a baseball over 100 miles an hour backed up with the nastiest of sliders coming in at 89 that starts in the zone, then dive away and into the dirt. He came in and struck out 3 straight to wrap up their first win in 9 games. We sat in our seats and were thoroughly entertained. Sure, chants of "sell the team" were ringing out when the going got tough. Whatever. We're here now and that's all that matters. Time is running out to see them. This pitching phenom will probably be traded or he'll be playing in Sacramento next year. $15 for the cheap seat, walk in any select almost any seat except the first section. Bart makes it an easy ride from San Leandro or anywhere. Many would give this place low stars. The place got old but never lost a star in my book.

Located next to the Oakland Arena - if there is an event going on at both places make sure to arrive early! Came for the Dodgers vs As game and beside it being a popular game the Oakland Arena was hosting Monster Jam. Getting into the parking lot was a nightmare! The parking staff was terrible as there was nobody directing traffic. The only attendants there were the ones charging for parking. Also unfortunately the stadium is very old and in need of renovation. But appreciated how it was spacious.

Made it here for the last season of the A's in Oakland. I really liked the park and the game was great. The City of Oakland should be condemned. Half of California should be. I feel like I need a tetanus shot. Thank full we had a motel with security close by so we walked to the game and Ubered back. Glad to check off the park tho because I am not going back to Oakland.

Well this stadium is old school. Old and old school. We had to visit it this year on our tour since it's coming down.

Memories. John Fisher ruined Oakland baseball. Won't be the same out here. Looking forward to Roots and Soul.

Had to stop here this year on my stadium tour since it's coming down soon. It is mighty old and run down but you get the old school baseball vibe and the fans are avid.

Been there. Done that. Never again. So in the last few years, my son, nephew and I have started a tradition of watching my hometown Houston Astros play in other stadiums. This year, we decided to make the trek to Oakland to visit the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. The main reason we did this was to see the Astros play there for the last time. The last time being because the A's are moving to Las Vegas in the next few years via Sacramento. I had to see this monstrosity for myself before it gets tore down. I already knew going in this stadium consistently ranks as one of or even the worst in the league. Opening in 1966, it is also one of the oldest as well. What sets this place apart from other stadiums is that it also doubles as a football stadium. Well, atleast it did before the Raiders decided to skip town as well. This also means that on paper, there are alot of seats. In reality, they have an entire upper section tarped off. Tickets were extremely easy to get as the A's fanbase is boycotting which lead to a practically empty stadium. We were able to score seats by the Astros' dugout at a very reasonable price. Said seats are in extremely poor condition. Some have a lean to it, some are rusty. Their ushers are pretty strict about people sitting in their purchased seats. I have never been to the stadium where they constantly check tickets to make sure they have no people paying for the upper deck and making their way down. At this point, let everyone sit where they want to make it atleast look better on TV. Aside from the seats being rundown, so is the rest of the stadium. I've done tours of all the stadiums I have been to, but they don't even offer that here. It is clear they are not proud of their product here. They don't even stock their merch very well. I just wanted a magnet and they said they were all sold out. There's still alot of season left, stock up! We got better merch in the parking lot after the game at a fraction of the price anyways. The fan hate towards the owners made for some very funny shirts that we had to have. It is a well known fact that this stadium also has a possum infestation as well. This led us to not even wanting to touch any of the concessions here. I look forward to seeing what stadiums offer as far as concessions showcasing regional food, but they don't have anything of the sort here. Just your usual ballpark grub and canned drinks. No souvenir cups or anything. Boring. Also, this is one of two parks that the bullpen is on the field. That was weird to see and seems a bit dangerous for the pitchers. It also means foul balls are harder to get for the fans. Just an awkwardly shaped stadium overall. Parking is sketch. They only take card payments as you enter, but for a slick discount, you can get a cash discount where I am sure the staff is making a pretty penny. Gotta respect the hustle I guess! Getting in was easy, but getting out, was a nightmare. We sat idling for a good 20 minutes before cars moved. I had a flight to catch so I had to make some evasive maneuvers to skip past the slow lines. There are no police or security controlling the flow of traffic. I do appreciate that the stadium does have an attached lot though. They also do tailgating out there and the local fans were friendly, already conceding a loss to the Astros before the game even began. Did I have a good time? Absolutely! Especially since my team whooped up on the lowly A's. For that, they get an extra star. It was cool to see a stadium with alot of history as well. I'm sure none of these reviews will be taken into consideration as the stadium is in it's last days of existence anyways. If you are a big sports fan, I would try and make it out to see the ballparks of days past. On to the next though for me!

Posting this review the morning after attending the last A's game played here yesterday. Lots of great memories about this place. From the 1987 All-Star game, to numerous Raiders games, and of course the great A's teams over the years. Sure the stadium got ruined by Mount Davis and it was literally falling apart the last few years, but that doesn't change the decades of memories I had here with family and friends.

This place was one of my favorite places to watch baseball. I loved everything about it. It breaks my heart that the A's are leaving . The A's belong in Oakland and they should have never left. I loved the halls here, the field, the fans, the weather, I've never been anywhere with this much nostalgia. I'll forever miss this place and miss what the Oakland A's meant to this place .

This was my first athletics game. Maybe because it was a weekend and the battle of the bay I felt like there were so many people. I loved the tree house. My ticket came with a 20 for food at any concession stand which was great. We sat lower level which was nice and someone in our area got a fly ball :). We took the bart train and it drops you off right there. Sad they are closing and there will never be a battle of the bay! End of an era :(

You know, the Coliseum gets a lot of hate. This is my first game here, and it's quirky, but it's Oakland. I can see why it's so beloved by Oakland fans. Sure, the stadium is beat up, but is it worth them losing the team? Heck no.

What a dump. They try to relive their glory years, but it's lipstick on a concrete pig. It's sad they are losing the club, but if this is the city's answer to maintain a ballpark, they do not deserve

It's been a while since I've been to this coliseum. Cozy! Our seats were great! Just wanted a hot dog - a must for baseball games. There was a decent line for food. Seats were clean, great view!

I've lived in the Bay Area since 2001 and one of my favorite venues was coming to the Oakland Coliseum via Bart to see sports events like the Golden State Warriors, Oakland Raiders and Oakland A's. Well, the Warriors moved to San Francisco, the Raiders moved to Las Vegas and this is the final season for the Oakland A's as they will play in Sacramento next season before moving to Las Vegas. On this occasion, my Dodgers were in town to play the A's and the Pantone 294 club (Dodger nation) planned an Oakland take over. Thus I had to be here to experience it and say goodbye to the A's at the Coliseum. It was truly sad. The A's deserve a new stadium and it should be here in the Bay. I feel bad for the local A's fans. You deserve better.

Stadium is great, east to get to on BART, great weather and friendly Vendors. It is a fun place for young and old. The Oakland As have the BEST Mascot- Stomper the Elephant- everyone loves an Elephant sized Hug (me included). The event here are legendary- cultural events and more, we loved the Filipino Heritage event with music, food and dancing before the game. We have come many years for that. But moving the team to Las Vegas? My heart is broken‍ I hope the get the love and enthusiasm they deserve!!

Staff were very friendly and attentive. There were tons of bathrooms and food was plenty and a good variety. Cons. The Bud Light tap actually tasted like a regular Bud. Although a great view, my knees kept hitting the person in front of me. I ended up finding a place to stand and watch. I loved the different areas and activities for families and kids throughout the Battle of the Bay game.

I finally checked off a game in Oakland and the stadium was pretty awesome! Are they really leaving CA?? Pretty easy to get to driving in from San Francisco. About 30 mins and $30 later we were parked right in front. The layout was great! The player benches are on an angle which was very different. Closest seats were elevated which was nice. We sat about 25 rows up and the view was perfect. Fans here were very nice. It was a very mixed crowd (75% A's fans, 25% Angels). Everyone came to see Otani play. Sadly the stadium was 1/2 empty. The bullpin is next to the field so fun to watch the pitchers warm-up. Hopefully I get another chance to visit before they move.

Loved watching an A's game! They lost, but the stadium was fun to explore, the innings were fun, and the alcohol hit the spot on this cold hot day.

SELL THE TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!29/$()291@;!4)2!!! If you've been to the Coliseum, you know it needs serious help. I really want to give the Coliseum 5 stars for the sake of its existence, but let's be real...those seats are not comfy As a person raised in Seattle when the Sonics were stolen, I feel deeply for the Town. I also have some oldddd connections/spent a past life in Oakland, including many an outing to A's games with my SO who grew up in OAK. It's a special place to me, as decrepit as it may be from the outside looking in. I happened to attend the final baseball game in the Coliseum and... it was hella sad. Only the food booths behind home plate were open, and attendance had to be less than 3k. Yet, I was very impressed by the staff's service, as well as the feminine hygiene products available in the restroom! I'm nearly positive neither the Giants nor Mariners do this for their female guests. Maybe it's because they have so few guests? (crylaugh, smile tear, & shrug emoji) The folks who work there are lovely - whether it's having trouble getting my ticket to load, finding my seat, finding an open food booth, finding an open bathroom - just ask anyone and they'll point you in the right direction. I received a targeted ad on IG today re: some sorta golf course being set up in the coliseum Dec 1-3. I don't golf but I'm still v curious to check it out. Seems like a Top Golf sorta thing...? Hopeful the A's will wake up & not abandon the Town, otherwise all the more hopeful there will be many more uses for the Coliseum -- massive laser tag game, anyone?

I've been to over 30 A's games, and I must say it's a fun stadium. Although many people consider it a dump, I consider it a relic to the baseball world. The people are friendly, the food is solid. It has problems, too, and it's not the prettiest sight in the MLB. But I love it and I'm disappointed to see the team move to Vegas. Sell the team, John.

Went to the last A's game 9.26.24 and recalled all the games and concerts. She's old but she'll be missed. Farewell

Can't believe that I never wrote a review for the Coliseum, such a fun place to catch a baseball game. I started coming to A's games in 2012 and that year's team really hooked me into the sport. The place can use some major updates but if you love watching your team play is quickly feels like home. 100s of games later, it's always nice to comeback to a game even amid the current turmoil with the possible team relocation. The food is typical ballpark food, the addition of a food truck space helps bring in some good options. They built a good outfield bar area named the Treehouse, so you can grab a beer and stand for a bit while socializing. We came here for many promotional giveaways over the years and unfortunately have too many bobbleheads and memorabilia that take up space. This place is great if you can catch a quick weekday noon game, it's usually a Wednesday game. The venue is outdated and the addition of Mt. Davis to sell more football game seats blocked the view of Oakland Hills. Friends that came here when they were young said the view was beautiful from within the Coliseum, so now you have to see it from the BART ramp area. Come here to catch a game while you can, grab a simple hotdog and a beer. You will not regret it, even though its not a 5 star place with all the amenities. The people and local culture will make up for it.

Kanya said it best when he said, "It's good to be home". The A's are far from the glory days of decades past, yet I remain a fan. I flew in today to SFO and made a dedicated trip across the bridge at great time and expense to get some A's swag. Much to my surprise, there was no one around but security and when I asked about a team shop, I was told it's only open on Game Day. Now, I live in Seattle and the Mariners shop is open 7 days a week. for at least 12 hours a day. I guess the A's don't care about their brand and I will no longer be a fan. You wasted my time and money and proved to me, you don't want fans.

My wife and I are trying to visit all of the ballparks, so naturally, we needed to make it to Oakland before they closed the Coliseum. It was in a sad state and not at all what I remember seeing in the television in the 90s, as a child. We paid pretty good money to sit in the "front row", but found out there was some kind of VIP box in front of the first row. Row 1 had no room for our legs and no cup holders for drinks. We ended up moving up in the section, as there were many open seats. The game was fun as I am a huge fan of baseball. A huge positive part of our experience was Lee (pictured in this review). He works in Guest Services and is absolutely wonderful. We talked about our love for the game and our adventure to see all of the parks. I told him that I was hoping to catch a foul ball, as there were next to no people in our section, and it had yet to happen for me. Towards the end of the game, Lee brought me a ball that was used in BP. A very nice gesture from an incredible man. All in all, it was an MLB game and I am glad we went. Sad to see the park in disrepair as the team deserves better. Lee deserves all of the high fives, so if you run into him, be sure to engage him in conversation.

I think that the stadium is positioned very well. Full sky, full sun, and the game was amazing. I am grateful for the net that covers the large area. However, if there is a pop over, there's a little to no coverage, but that's to be expected.

Came here back in May for double hitter game on the 8th with my boyfriend. One of my goals is to visit all mlb stadium so with the A's going to Las Vegas, I wanted to come see the stadium before they closed. It was a very fun experience and I am sad to see how empty it was. I was sad that there was no shot glasses by the end of the game and that the stores closed right when the game ended. I am use to other stadium were team store are open a little after the game ends. It was cute that they give us pin and certificate for being there for the first time. It's definitely really appreciated and would love to see other stadium do this.

Although the ownership of the Oakland A's is rotten to the core. The staff was welcoming and kind. Most of the seating(except the outfield seats) had a mostly unobstructed view of the field of play I would highly recommend attending an event.

I'm not going to lie - I love this stadium. I may be the only one. I've been to hundreds of games here, especially before they destroyed it for the Raiders. I will miss the A's for sure but I've come here the last time. Was here for the A's-Twins game 6/23/24. The concession stand. A small container of "chicken tenders (5 tenders) and fries (about 15 fries)" that doesn't remotely fill you up is 36 bucks. I realize they gouge you at the ball park ($8 bucks for a 16 ounce bottle of coke, folks), but let me emphasize what I paid for, a meal that wouldn't fill a six year old let alone an adult - 36 bucks. But I'm not complaining about the price. Everyone knows they gouge you at the park. It shouldn't be legal but it is. But the worse thing was, you stand in line, you order and pay the when you use your card, it asks you for a tip. "15%, 20%, 25% or other" It doesn't even give you the option of no tip. Just other, where you then have to go to the number pad and press zero. What am I tipping you for? I stood in line. I'm already getting gouged price-wise as it is. And you want me to tip you? Is this a joke? And they don't even give you the option of "no tip." Now I don't blame the people working behind the counter, they didn't institute this policy, it's management, just trying to make more money on top of the money they're stealing from you as it is. But it's absurd. All these non-tip worthy jobs asking for a tip - it's going to kill tipping for actual people who deserve it. Mark my words. All these cafes and little shops and Starbucks where you stand in line and overpay for what you're getting as it is and they want you to tip them when they do not deserve a tip in any shape or form will kill it for the jobs that deserve tips. Waitstaff and bartender are going to suffer. Soon, because people are so used to hitting "no tip" (or in this case, going to the number pad and entering zero), waiters won't be getting tips or much smaller. But this "every job must be tipped" thing has went way, way too far. And the last people in the world who deserve a tip are the folks working the concession stands where I'm standing in line for ten minutes and over paying for food as it is.

This is a very old stadium but it's the people and good teams we love that makes this place Rock!

Event security management is awful... yes, have your event security just yell out over a crowd on hundreds of people info about why the event is delayed by two hours. Am I to believe that event security doesn't have a single bull horn to address large crowds when needed? Was this your first event? Absolute amateurs. Pathetic. Just imagine if you need to yell instructions during an earthquake or other emergency. This level of incompetence should not be in charge of running security at a venue that holds this many people.

I grew up in the East Bay so this is what I know and at least I got to see an A's game one last time before they move to Las Vegas. I got to visit the Treehouse and go get my overpriced chicken tenders/drink(s). For us locals, it's more sentimental and a gathering place for everyone. I saw many A's games because bleacher seats were affordable when I was in high school. I saw an occasional Raiders game, sold beer for a school fundraiser on occasions and even saw our high school play (and lose) in the EBAL Football Championship. It's sad to see our Oakland teams leave but I hope the coliseum and arena get the second life they deserve so us locals can enjoy entertainment in the future. It needs a facelift, but it is convenient to BART and 880.

I attended an Oakland A's game at RingCentral Coliseum aka Oakland Coliseum. I had heard that this was one of the worst baseball stadiums in the country... Ambience: the parking lot was mostly empty and we were able to find parking quickly and easily at the start of the game. Attendance is at an all time low. From a distance, the stadium looked old and run down. When we got inside, it was a mass of dated steel and concrete. I couldn't help but notice all the stadium lights had missing lightbulbs... Food: my expectations were not high when it came to stadium food, but they managed to beat my expectations... in the wrong direction.... I ordered: Chicken tenders - they were so dry that I had to gnaw on it like beef jerky. I suspect they have been under a heat lamp for a while. 2/5 Polish Sausage - I saw them empty a bag of these fellas onto a grill, so at least it has to be fresh ... until I took a bite of the bun which was hardened ... big letdown 2/5 Nachos - completely stale chips. Took 3 bites and left the rest. 1/5 Staff: the only redeeming part of the experience. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. They really make you feel welcome. It's unfortunate that they work in an environment where the infrastructure is out of their control.

I visited the RingCentral Coliseum for an A's game on the 4th of July and got to enjoy the fireworks! The coliseum is pretty much the same as I remember from back in the day (that could be a good or bad thing for some). There were no issues as far as finding my seats and parking, it did take a little longer to get out of the stadium in comparison to the Oakland arena, but it was the 4th of July. My pretzel was SUPER SALTY, lol but I had a good time nonetheless.

This place used to be nice but over the years since I first went there as a kid it has really gone downhill. Not only has Oakland in general turned into a ghetto, but the area around the stadium isn't well maintained. The views of the field inside the stadium aren't always that great when you compare it to its cross-bay counterpart, Oracle Park, with the architecture being grey and hideous. The seats are uncomfortable and the views aren't great. Two stars only because of what this place used to be. No wonder both the Raiders and the A's are leaving town.

Worst MLB stadium in the country, hands down. I know it was the case before going. But to actually see it firsthand...... pretty pitiful

As for the game itself it was very fun and entertaining. The food was actually pretty reasonably priced as well and the hot dog, nachos, and churro was fantastic. The staff was okay. The stadium is just very old and ran down and even a little dirty. The craziest part for me was the pricing. $25 service fee PER TICKET!!! And parking was $50!!! Just insanely high prices. The lady and I spent $300+ just for the tickets and parking which is nuts. Our seats weren't even elite, they were in the 2nd story section. I will say they had a Marvel day the day I went and it was fun and they gave everyone a Captain Marvel Bobble Head when you walked in which was cool. Had some of the staff dressed in superhero outfits too. In conclusion, it was an entertaining experience but the stadium is pretty worn down and it was very expensive for just a baseball game.

They say if you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing. This utilitarian stadium opened in 1966 and it shows. However, the Yankees won two of three games I attended. Oh, and I witnessed Domingo German pitch a perfect game. Priceless.

Went for first concert here. Parking was $40 but easy enough getting in and parked. Also one of the easiest exits after a sporting event or concert. Concession stand all around Ordered: Mixed Margarita We ate before coming so didn't try any of the food Seats are very close and tight otherwise nice venue

I don't take issue with the old bathrooms or subpar concessions. The ushers have taken a draconian stance in regulating seating despite all time low attendance. I've been harassed for ticket verification in the lower level and 200s. The Treehouse is a nice diversion. Beers around $13. Popcorn $12 Nacho helmet $18 Parking $30 The best part is occasional ticket specials.
