Oakland Coliseum Joint Venture (ORACLE Arena & McAfee Coliseum) Reviews

Amazing experience that everyone needs to be apart of! Saw the Oakland Athletics play my home town team the Seattle Mariners and it was awesome.

Love the Coliseum! It's like visiting your favorite dive bar while getting to watch a major league baseball game.

Went for a concert. They had an ADA platform so that was appreciated amd even had accessible bathroom available for us so we didn't have to use the service elevator each time. Once they realized that ADA isn't just for wheelchairs...and they brought out chairs, we were able to enjoy the event. staff was very helpful

One of the best times of my life,I would do it again a million times!!!!

Great place to experience an A's baseball game with the family. Good food and drink variety, clean park and friendly staff.

Home of the Oakland A's, Oakland Raiders (for now) and Golden State Warriors (for now)

I have attended games since the 70's. Old ballpark but not a bad seat for baseball. Food is not great but is not why I come. Go A's

Great experience at the Coliseum for an A's game. ADA services accommodated us nicely with elevators and cart rides from field to car.

One of the most historic sports venues in the country

The stadium is old and should have been replaced a long time ago. The city is about to lose all of there professional sports teams because they can't afford new stadiums. New stadiums bring fantastic revenue potential and tax base. Can't run a City like a welfare office. Try revitalization to increase revenue to the city. They spent all that money to bring the raiders back but left the surrounding area untouched so no one wanted to go to a rundown neighborhood and risk harm.

Stadium is pretty beat up! Chairs are old concrete is breaking away. But who cares it has a great history and it's all about baseball!!

I know it's old, but it is so much more reasonable to see baseball here. Wish they had more electric car charging.

Older but still nice. Relatively cheap for a stadium, or just moderately overpriced, depending on how you look at it. Very good public transit options, BART station right outside. If you are staying in downtown SF and want to watch a baseball game, this is a good option, 30 minutes by BART with one ride, no changing trains, with seats relatively cheap and easy to come by.

We had an amazing day at the final Battle of the Bay game!! Thank you Oakland A's and Capitol Corridor for making this day possible for us!!!

LOVED watching my Red Sox play the A's... another great and fun team! No matter what team you were rooting for, everyone was pleasant and having a good time.

Rams smoked the Raiders...and I didn't get attacked....I can't believe today was a good day

Section 110 row 2, Vendors constantly stopped at the bottom of the stairs & paused as they scanned the area above which blocked the view of home plate/batter. If it happened a couple of times I could understand, but they were relentless! Turned what should have been good seats into lousy seats.

Raiders!!! I love this old stadium, so much history here, but the city didn't do anything to try to keep them from leaving, oh well Raiders Baby!

I really wanted to like this stadium more. It's sad but the A's need a new ballpark. The corridors are the absolute worst. The lines from concessions are simply in the way of anyone trying to get anywhere. It doesn't have enough bathrooms. The views were ok. After going to see the giants in AT&T park this place is still in 1966. I'd give then 2 stars but they did have Bo Jackson play football there and Ricky Henderson was the man.

Icon of Oakland. Fun to go an A's game even though they aren't good.

Biggest problem, people selling stuff on the pedestrian bridge. Sometimes the line to leave the stadium backs up into the actual stadium

Great place to come and see the wonderful Oakland A's. I would definitely recommend the polish hot dog, fried chicken and hot chocolate. The overall atmosphere was friendly, I just wish parking wasn't $20.

My favorite place on the planet - well, tied with Disneyland. A's fans are loyal, knowledgeable and the majority are nice! I had season tickets for 18 seasons in row two behind the bullpen, this year we moved two sections over and sit in the third row behind the bullpen mound (we moved bc not all A's fans are nice people - but not all people in any group anywhere are all nice, ya know? But we made a lot of life long friends and I watched kids who were four or five when I met them, grow up, go off to college, get married - it's crazy!).

Personally, I really think they should just rebuild or upgrade the Coliseum instead of this insane new stadium business - there isn't even an off ramp or places to park and I highly doubt a gondola is the answer, in fact it seems somewhat asinine, tbh.

Anyway, the Coliseum is awesome and in the last two years they've added The Treehouse - a bar with food and games, The Farm - where local kids come and grow the vegetables that are served at places around the stadium, my personal favorite - Championship Plaza which is outside of the stadium but is a place with tables, games, a movie theater sized tv so you're still like right there at the game - and best of all are the rotating food trucks!! Oakland food trucks are (at least locally) known to be the best! Any choice you make the food is to die for! Yum AF!

New seating areas have been added - including the Terrace which are tables for four people with wait staff, two free alcoholic beverages, free sodas and a delicious menu that tbh, could be a bit bigger - but the nachos are unlike any you will ever have in a ballpark setting. I used to sit in Diamond Level for my birthday every year and it is definitely awesome but the Terrace Tables in 121 might be my favorite place to catch a game in the entire place. They've added cushioned theater seats in the "Coppola" Section - there's wait staff there as well and each seat had its own little refrigerator.

And while I believe that the "A's Access" program does a pretty big disservice to those of us who have paid thousands per seat a year for decades and still do and only got a 25% discount on merchandise - I get why people like it - and there is one part that I do enjoy, I can't lie.

With A's Access you can pay like $30 monthly (or as low as $220 a season) and have access to every game - you may be stuck in The Treehouse but there are opportunities for seat upgrades daily - AND ALL FOOD INSIDE THE STADIUM AND ALL BEER, SODAS, ETC (even in the Plaza - I do like that A's Access has made it much less crowded in the Plaza and the food truck lines shorter).

I only eat at the Food Trucks or Shibe Park Tavern - the menu was redone again this year and I hope they do not change it because you must try the shrimp tacos, the chopped chicken salad and the beef salad ... all are too good to be true! You can get seats by the window and you're at the game, it's a great view! I will add a pic! - so it's not like just some restaurant) - but you can't beat a $5 premium beer! You just can't! You can't get that at ANY OTHER BALLPARK IN MLB! It's really hella sweet AF!!! ...to be continued if they will allow me to write a second review but I doubt it, so I will leave you with on more thing: The players are always exciting, the team is almost always in contention and if there is something that seems virtually impossible to be accomplished in the game - the A's have often been the ones to do it!

Great Team, Great Fans, Great Prices and a VERY MUCH updated ballpark! It'll always be my favorite place (even with Mt Davis - Eww!) in the world but I'm pretty sure you'd like it too! It's not the "dump" that many ppl claim. It's wonderful and you are guaranteed to see good baseball!!! Let's Go Oakland! #RootedInOakland! (pics below: well, I ran into Rickey in the plaza the other day .... among other things!! )

Crazy atmosphere and fans. THEY (fans) know how to put fear into their opposition. If you have young kids, keep them safe. Not children friendly. Biggest shame is that the franchise is moving! Lucky for us we saw them win against the Cleveland Browns taking the game into extra time!! Being called Oakland Raiders will be missed.

Love the Coliseum, love the staff there too. Go A s!

What can I say. Home to the greatest fans in football. Stadium is getting to be too old. Still an amazing place when full of fans. If you take Bart in leave 5/10 early to avoid the wait.

I will not be disappointed to see the Warriors play in San Francisco next year.

So fun! The concessions are very affordable compared to Oracle and AT&T park. Just don't sit in the breezy part!

This will be remembered as the place where Ramon Laureano claimed ownership of the Astros franchise. 8-9-2020

Loved it. If you never gone to a game then you should. First time to this field and I really liked it

Raider Nation in every way!!! We will miss this yearly event.

Oakland A's/Athletics Baseball baby! also work there And the Oakland Raiders the Raiderrrrrs let go Oakland

I went to see Disney on ice it was horrible the worst I've ever seen. The Oracle needs to be renovated and Disney need to revamp the entire show. I was disgusted with the performance and definitely did not get my monies worth. It gets worse by the year the costumes story line and choreography was just disgraceful. Not to mention a slap in the face for anyone with an ethnic background. I have been coming to the ice capades since the 80's and as it looks I won't be back. I had a better time at the carnival across the freeway in the rain.

Even though Fenway is older this place really needs some improvement...

I would stay home and watch it on TV are we drove a long ways to go see something that it was overpriced not a good family adventure I just not impressed for the kind of money I spend my entertainment money could go a lot further and I would have had a lot better time doing other things

This is a legacy stadium with obvious wear a tear, yet you ll enjoy your event - especially if who you re rooting for wins. Try the loaded nachos, it serves two!

Getting a little old, but still a fun place to watch a game!!

A's games are fun for all ages, good times at the ball game.

Family friendly environment . I like that you can bring food and beverages in because the concessions are on the pricey side

Greatest away game ever! Tigers lost but the fans here is where it's at. Great fireworks after the game. I will be coming back next year! Thank you for the fantastic time Oakland! You guys rock

My favorite ballpark. Bbq and garlic fries are delicious, fans are amazing.

Old and tired...sad both Raiders and A's allowed the City and County let it get this way.

I really enjoyed it. One of the oldest stadiums in sports, so although it's not the nicest, most updated facility, it's got a ton of personality, and has a great nostalgic feel. Not unlike a good local dive bar.

It's got it's place, but it's not for everyone.

There's no place like home, but in case anyone was wondering why the A's and Raiders need a new home here is just 1 example. 2 inches of standing water at our seats for an NFL game 4 house after it stopped raining.

Was here for my first A's game. Given our rock star seats, the home team winning that night, and post game fireworks, I would have to say I had a good time! :)
