Oakland Coliseum Walk Around Stadium Footage 4/3/2024- Oakland A’s vs. Boston Red Sox

Some footage of the Oakland Coliseum in what might unfortunately be the last season there. This might have possibly been my last game that I ever get to go to at the Coliseum so I wanted to walk around and take in as much of the stadium as I could. Oakland A's lost to the Boston Red Sox 1-0.

[@ryanduffin4120]

I really enjoyed that. Much nicer than I expected. Reminded me of when I went to my first game.

[@BayAreaThrowbacks]

Thanks man! People shit on the coliseum but I love all of the history that they have all throughout the stadium. It's like a big baseball museum.

[@annex4398]

Shame Mount Davis was built. Took that nice view away from the ballpark.

[@BayAreaThrowbacks]

@@annex4398 I agree! I wish I would have been able to go to the coliseum before that was there...

[@annex4398]

I feel bad for Oakland fans. I'm from Baltimore and this feels a lot like when Robert Irsay took the Colts away. Before he did, he completely mismanaged the team which was awful after 1977 and it killed the attendance. Been following the situation on Brodie Brazil's show. I'm with you all. "Sell the team!"

[@BayAreaThrowbacks]

Thanks! I like to watch Brodie Brazil a lot too when it comes to this situation. He has done a great job covering it. If you want to see more of a fan's perspective on the situation, definitely check out gamer_athletics.

[@georgeford3687]

From Baltimore also and lived those last painful Irsay years. The concession area with all the history is just wonderful. Looks like there is a lot to do. Shed a tear for ya.😢

[@gforce1930]

Thank you. Sorry for the Colts - are you a Ravens fan? At least Baltimore got another team, with the most awesome name IMO, and have been pretty darn good. See what happens with the A's I seriously doubt they will actually move to Vegas they can't get anything done.

[@vvarietyshow]

Crazy to think this won't exist someday likely soon.

[@BayAreaThrowbacks]

Definitely! Really sad. I've been going to games there since 2001 and even though it's not Oracle Park, I still love being there. I'm trying to get to as many games as possible this year before it's over.

[@fantasticvoyage262]

Thanks for sharing. Did you drive there? Or take public transportation? How much were tickets?

[@BayAreaThrowbacks]

I drove this time but I have took the BART there many times which drops you off right across the street from the stadium. I don’t remember how much I paid honestly but not that much for those nice of seats.

[@Gdub52o]

I find it sad that the area cannot sustain pro sports in this era. Hopefully the organization has plans to include all of this A's history into the new home

[@BayAreaThrowbacks]

Ya, it is really sad. I'm assuming they will include all of the history just like they currently have done with the Philadelphia and Kansas City history of the team.

[@AnthonyLorigo-bj2nf]

Memories like the corners of my mind misty colored memories of the way it was..go Giants

[@BayAreaThrowbacks]

I will definitely miss this place once it is gone. Giants fan as well but A's have always been my second team.

[@RansomHollywood]

BIGGEST problem with the coliseum is the fact that they NEVER put a DIME into any upgrades or renovations; just let it sit and rot for DECADES.

[@BayAreaThrowbacks]

@@RansomHollywood yup! There are older stadiums that are still nice and in good condition because they have done the needed upgrades and renovations.

[@RansomHollywood]

@@BayAreaThrowbacks Dodger Stadium, Fenway Park, and Wrigley field are PRIME EXAMPLES. They put MILLIONS into renovations EVERY YEAR

[@jasonjaxxson]

HOW SAD!!! A concrete prison!!😢😢

[@SomeGuy-ds7pl]

Its a shame this historic stadium filled with decades of mlb and nfl history will all be torn down soon all because of a greedy owner. I hope oakland can get a new stadium built in the future with an expansion team the fans dont deserve to have their team taken away like this

[@BayAreaThrowbacks]

I agree! Stadium has a lot of history! I just wish Howard Terminal would have worked out for Oakland and the A's.

[@eddyyalda2668]

Same thing happened with cominsky park

[@gforce1930]

Yes sir, agree 100%.

[@merrillmilner8717]

Now that the Raiders are gone, perhaps they should tear down the outfield bleachers to the way this was in 1970.

[@BayAreaThrowbacks]

I wish they would have done that once the Raiders left but now with the A's planning to leave after this season, that won't happen.

[@gforce1930]

That would cost money, so... no. I totally agree that the stadium was way cooler before they built Mount Davis.

[@skitown11]

Just sad is all I can say.

[@usjets08]

This stadium looks tired and wants to be torn down.

[@heneleschaaf2490]

SELL THE TEAM

[@BayAreaThrowbacks]

Hell ya!!!

[@orlangatan8060]

I blame the CITY THE COUNTY THE AND THE POLITICIANS (SHAME) now OAKLAND is without team

[@gforce1930]

The TEAM OWNERSHIP should be at the top of the blame list. John Fisher literally does not care about baseball, Oakland, the legacy of the Oakland A's, or the ongoing success of the Oakland A's.
