    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!!!

    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).

    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

    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.

    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.

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

    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

    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. ;)

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

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

    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!)

    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...

    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.
