In our quest to see all the Major League Baseball parks in America we recently went to Oakland. The stadium is out of yesteryear. In fact it s the only dual purpose stadium left in baseball. The Oakland Raiders play there for at least 2 more years. The stadium reminded me of the movie Major Leagues complete w fans that band drums in the outfield

We sat in seats very close to the field at some of the best prices in America. It was Tuesday night so that makes sense. The announced attendance was 11,467, but there were likely fewer actual attendees.

We left a bit early and took the Bay Area Rapid Transit for the way home. It was fine; however, be warned the ride over can be jam-packed. We travelled over from San Francisco so we did run into commuting traffic at 5:30pm. If I could I d leave a little earlier next time or just be prepared and I ve been on NY, London and Chicago subways this is just a bit tighter experience. The people on the subways and at the stadium are all very friendly and helpful to out-of towners.
