Editorial Review for McAfee Coliseum – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
The Coliseum was always first and foremost a baseball haven, with center field wide open and the stands built out along the first and third base lines. In recent years, Coliseum officials instituted dollar-day specials, with all tickets going for a buck. This hard-to-resist offer has brought the crowds back in, making for high-spirited weekend games and memorable moments of frenzied fandom.

Insider Tips
ParkingIf you do drive, you should have no trouble parking in the lot, but remember that it has only one exit. Postgame traffic jams can be intense.
Know Before You GoOne of the Coliseum's greatest features is its direct BART access--it's by far the best way to get there. Just make sure to get a round-trip ticket to avoid lines at the end of the game.

A's stadium is nothing pretty, but it dos its job GREAT!it has fantastic sight lines and seat comfort.the atmosphere is great and real A's fans make this a place you will want 2 come back to.the food is also great including big dogs the foot long hot daogs.however A's fans really get into the game and even w/ a small crowd thers a lot of noise and objects being thrown at other teems players.although oakland fans do get in fights u dont have to worry to much unlike pac bell the fans are there for a game not a pretty park
Pros: inexpensive, good food, real fans

I saw pearl jam open for the Rolling Stones here in 1997. it was ok as a concert venue. I also saw the A's play the Red Sox here back in 1991. Jose Canseco hit one out off Roger Clemens that was pretty cool. it's a pretty cool stadium, easy to take the BART here from SF into Oakland. there is a BART station right there. once inside make sure to try Everret and Jone's bbq
