has a special place in my heart, so many memories, really feels like home. Lifelong A’s fan sometimes just taking a short drive to watch a game, nothing like it and damn ima miss this shithole.
i grew up going there. had a blast back in the day. Park was ruined when Raiders returned in 1995. The extra seats and stairs to nowhere were part of the Football arrangement. The A’s have been threatening to leave for a decade. I’m sure there wasn’t a lot of discussion about upgrading it

They open it up after the game so the fans can go on the field for the fireworks show. I know cus my choir sang the national anthem on the field before the game recently and we got free great seats because of it so I stayed for the show.
Also it’s weirdly fucking cold on the field for some reason. I went down there to sing the national anthem and I was freezing my ass off the whole time 💀😭
Couple kids recently at football game were enamored with pee troughs. They couldn't wrap their brains around community trough peeing. I just told them at older stadiums and arenas it was pretty common. They just stood their like Beavis and Butthead flusing it over and over
The stairs that lead to nowhere. Actually lead to the field when there are fireworks at the end of the game and they allow fans onto the field. It's the only time that the A's games have some sort of attendance
The old municipal stadium in Cleveland had pee islands. Big circular trough so you could stare deeply into the eyes of the dude peeing across from you.
Scoreboard was fixed it was a sign in front of it saying Oakland Coliseum but then Ring Central had the naming rights for a time. When that deal ended they just removed that sign and never replaced it
The scoreboard was finished it’s just that part was taken down by the last advertiser to hold the name of the park. Oh, and the barbed wire was for Raider games they just left up. Back in the late 80’s early 90’s the fences didn’t have barbed wire and it was a great park with no mt Davis
Best memories at Raiders games at that dumpster can. And don’t get it twisted it’s a dumpster but it’s a dumpster with Shine history and local energy that can’t be replicated in Vegas
In the bathrooms in Section 200 in shallow right field, the furthest to the right pee trough backs up with shit every game. I went to 15 A’s games in 2023 and every single one the trough backed up 😂😂 In all seriousness though, the “Box Seats” are actually great on the rare one off hot days in Oakland, the other side of the wall on most of the “box seats” have refrigerators for concessions on the other side so it stays cold!
I’ve been going to A’s games there over the last 20 years whenever I’m visiting No Cal for work. And I LOOOOOOVE the crowd. Real baseball people. They have to love baseball and their team to go that place. And support the A’s even though the ownership is toxic. The fans are the BEST.
Idk, I've visited the colosseum as well as at least a dozen ballparks including several that are older than it. It's a POS, it really is. The fans are pretty great however
The Oakland Coliseum is easily, hands-down, the worst stadium in the entire MLB catalog and it’s not the athletics fault it’s just their management is terrible. I hope that they fire the manager and sell the team just like the NFL did with the commanders
the unfinished scoreboard is from when the coliseum was still under the oracle name. it used to say “oracle” but since the split they had to remove it all.
This was definitely made by someone born in the 2000s Patrols are easier because you don't have to wait in line. That fence is there so no one sneaks in.

A lot of the old stadiums used to have the bullpen on the field (like Candlestick Park). The pitchers always had to watch out for foul balls.
The unfinished scoreboard is the section where the name of the stadium goes. Since the name keeps changing they just leave it blank
There is actually a seat there where you can’t see the hitter

Those extra seats were for when the Raiders played and they narrowed the field.
What's hilarious is that there are baseball fans who say Tropicana Field is worse than this ballpark.
It's probably just the A's color scheme but the Colosseum looks incredible imo......from very long distance, 😅 feels like baseball.

That "kite" is Falcon McFalconface, and you will respect hus name!
And I still want to check it out…was there for raiders last game…and I had a pretty good time
I once heard the quote Oakland had the best 17,000 fans in baseball. Even if that’s true that won’t keep a stadium open.
You forgot dozens of fans attending games.
The extra section was for when the raiders played there. The stairs went to those seats. And the random kite, keeps birds off of roof tops.
at least you got the walkway to bart.
