I know we showed up early to be there when the gates
opened, but the number of cars in the parking lot was surprisingly low. I guess I had forgotten the images of how
many people actually show up to games.
Oakland Coliseum is…exactly as described by people on the
internet. If the team stays, they
definitely need a new stadium. It had
major Kingdome vibes, down to the trough urinal in the men’s bathroom
(according to Jeremy). The concourse was very crowded considering the number of fans in the stadium or perhaps it was just smaller than I’m used to. It was dimly lit and not very inviting. One very noticeable thing on the concourse is how many of the concession stands were not open and how hard it was to find the souvenir cup. I counted all but one stand selling bottled drinks (also, not a variety of soda choices which was sad). I guess one plus of not having the same number of fans as the other stadiums is that the lines were almost non-existent. This hotdog was a thicc boi. It had a really good, meaty flavor and the bun was just soft enough, but it was so big that neither Jeremy or I could finish ours and this was to be our dinner. However, it’s still not as good as the hotdog from Petco Park, but I’d still rank it high. The Athletics played the Rangers on August 8, 2023 at 6:40
pm and we sat in section 310, row 2.
The price I paid for the tickets to this game was $15 and it seemed
dirt cheap. Though, if I ever found
myself at another Athletics game, I would spring for better tickets on a
lower level to be “closer” to the field. If you want to see the box score, here’s a link |
