The BART is real convenient there. That is the way we went back. I was trying to remember if Bo Jackson played there or were the Raiders still in LA? I guess Bo at least played baseball there.
Well... it was daytime. And he did say that before we went through a couple of other areas. I'm sure they get their fair share of "action" there, but I have been in some other areas across the country that are just as rough or rougher.
Wow epic boat ride to game! Love it! Oakland is falling apart. Was once a great city. I remember the Canseco, McGwire, Eckersley, Stewart teams fondly. Had great lineup for sure. Sad they are moving.
@@PrimeTimeTravelers the Bash Brothers were the kings of baseball for a long time! Oakland definitely has its rough parts but there are still a lot of good things there. I’ve seen cities like Detroit sink low and make a decent comeback so maybe there is hope for Oakland.
Temporarily forgot you were a Detroit fan 😂. Detroit's downtown and the stadium area is actually really cool now. I know you've had to have been to Lafeyette and American Coney!
@@TheTolleRoad Oh yeah been to both a few times even on the same day! Yeah the downtown area is coming back. Love the area around Comerica, Fox Theater, Little Cesars Areana, etc. Also, love the new Gordie Howe Bridge to WIndsor. That thing is HUGE! Jet's Pizza too!
Very cool boat ride and some massive container ships too! I went to public school too so I remember reading Call of the Wild, also very interesting cabin. $15 for a beer😳but I guess if it’s the last time in the A’s stadium then it’s worth it. And I’m old enough to remember the 1989 World Series quake too😂
I'm starting to see a trend with these ballgames starting with a cool boat ride. But for $4.50 how could you not!? You had some great seats there. Always sad to see a team relocate, especially for the local fans. At least you got to see them in Oakland before they left! Then again, it gives you an excuse to go to Vegas and see them there!!!
Vegas🤔. I think it will be 3 years until they get there though. Sacramento will be a few year pitstop for them. The Uber from downtown to the Coliseum was 4-5 times the price of the ferry!
@@thewkovacs316 if I said or implied in the video that there were plans to demolish the Coliseum that was absolutely incorrect. There are no immediate plans to do anything with it.
@@thewkovacs316 oh cool. I could see a soccer team or something like that fitting in pretty well. A lot of people gave me horror stories about how bad the Coliseum was, but I honestly didn't think it was that bad.
Ive been to that dump back in 2014 to see the Raiders. I took the BART over to Oakland. WOW that lady met and worked for Al Davis!

@@TheTolleRoad Bo played for the LA Raiders. Also forgot to mention those were some big names on those plaques. Reggie Jackson, Rickey Henderson etc.
Cool boat ride 👍 never knew you could feel safe in Oakland 😱

At those beer prices all they needed was to give a few drunks some season tickets and then they could've afforded to build a brand new stadium!
very cool that you got to go and see the coliseum
Had to get there before it was too late. Too much history there with the A's glory years and them old Raiders teams.
I have never been there cool that you got to see it before it is gone. 🙂
@@james82744 yeah, always sad to see something with history come to an end.

@@TheTolleRoad i hear they are getting a new tenant.
