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

We all know the Coliseum is old so I want to start with some positives. There have been some upgrades as far as scoreboards and videoboards. The A's have begun doing a lot of creative ticket packages in an effort to get fans to return to the park. There are a ton of food kiosks that are all well staffed. Now the bad. This place is severely outdated. Because it's mixed use, the seats aren't angled to face the field in a lot of places. The seating is cramped compared to modern stadiums. If you want a soda, they somehow only have dr. pepper products which include some that I thought no longer existed. The entire place could use a DEEP cleaning although the staff keeps trash to a minimum.

Very excellent first two games at the old ball park. Not fancy just plain friendly, the ushers the vendors and the fans no disrespect anywhere and we did walk to the stadium both night and day games from the Days Inn also a good medium priced motel. Tomorrow the Yankees and CC Sabathia couldn't be better.

It was fun me and a bunch of class mates got to play the national anthem for a game

The stadium and atmosphere was simply surreal. It was a fantastic ballgame that featured an attentive, excited, and explosive crowd. A fun-loving mascot, "Stomper", and it was pretty cheap for something that is much better than it's valued. Would love to comeback for another game sometime.

NEver been here but would love to honor you guys even if you were afraid of an Irish gal last Thursday to honor king Felix! Would love rays to win too but I think the west coast deserves a bit more love since you guys actually do know how to save money on rosters and honor the players unlike the dip head of mariners 2019
Let s make sure the umps don t check out and cheer for the east coast shall we?!

Had a great time out there in Oakland with brother Efren,sis inlaw Adrienne and niece Sophia,my nephew coletrain my son Giovanni,my girl Elaine Packers6 vs the Raiders13 in preseason August 24th 2018

They really stepped it up this year adding new food and different ticket prices. Security is really tight, great job

Super easy to find.. maybe cause I've been here many times!! The ticket agent...a young man, was soooooooo nice...and helpful!! It was awsome!!!!

Beers were cold, seats were ridiculously cheap and was an all around good time other than my stale popcorn.

Sad I haven't been there in so long. Grew up here love this place.

Old, worn out sports complex. Tickets can be cheap though.

Had a great time with my son at the game a's v's giants

A's games are one of the best sporting events you can go to because public transportation is on point, the beer is cold, the food hot and you can get amazing seats for great prices.

Nice place to watch MLB. Park is not fancy but fans are great. Concessions ok. Easy parking (not free).

The last dual stadium in the NFL and MLB. It's old and food and beer b options abysmal.

It's always a great time at the coliseum,football,food,friends,and beer!It's not possible to get any better than that!

Nice old historic home of the Oakland Raiders we had a great time there. Pleanty of security lots of helpful staff great food and drink.

Great place for watching sports, football and baseball. Kid friendly, great atmosphere. Okay food a bit pricey. Soft drinks, and alcohol beverages available also pricey. Restrooms available also handicap friendly. Parking available most pay different prices depending on event, quite pricey. Handicap accessibility and parking.

I went there to watch the Golden, watch the Curry that has no explanation, the tickets are salty but worth it and very .. surreal place (since it was my first time) and went to the Drake show, another world .. . all beautiful

They've made a lot of improvements...like the stomping grounds for the kids, the huge family section above the bleachers, including the kids bar with treats and drinks for the kids.

Visited the historic location before the Raiders leave for the first time. Everything is old from the seats to the walkways but the mens restrooms are extremely old. Can't wait to visit the Raiders new home in Vegas. I will say this the tailgating and the fans were great.

Great cheap tickets, but $13 small beers that are water down is a disappointment

Love taking the family out to watch our favorite team play ball.

A much better spectator experience than you would think

Old is the best way to describe it. Reflect the City of Oakland.

I ve been fortunate enough to have been to 25 NFL stadiums so I thought I would start leaving reviews for every stadium that I ve ever visited.

At the bottom of my list is this dump. I hate to kick Raider fans because I sympathize greatly being a Browns fan. It sucks to lose your team. But the reason Cleveland lost the Browns was the cruddy old Municipal Stadium. And the Raiders are moving because this place is awful.

Inside the stadium, the only - and I mean ONLY - saving grace is the Black Hole. Everything else is awful.

The tailgating is fine, although you re always worried about a fight breaking out next to you.

Last on my list and I feel awful for Raider fans. They deserve to keep their team and get a new, awesome stadium. But this place stinks - literally and figuratively.

Holla! Love the A's and have been to this stadium more than any other one. But if you are wanting a review of the stadium while removing all the nostalgia of the team who plays there, well cmon, O.co is kind of a dump. On the other hand you can get tickets ridiculously cheap!

Always up for what ever event the O.co got going on Place where i spend more time with the family especially tailgates since my son was born but sadly the tailgates have come to an end

The Coliseum is a dump. That's why the Raiders are leaving. Build a new stadium!!

Old stadium but great atmosphere and the new additions to the food trucks and the entertainment area was awesome

Any place that hots the A's is Amazing in my book. Like the lower beer prices and the TARPS off!

Easy to get to from bart. I'd suggest it over paying to park there. And when I saw supercross there they were strict on bags and purses

Awesome stadium!! Field looks beautiful. What a great way to spend a day with family and friends! Let's go As!!!!!!!!!

Place is dirt, the event staff they hired were incompetent....

Stadium staff were very helpful and we thought it was a great atmosphere.

I saw the Got7 concert here and it was amazing and mind blowing. No one will ever top that concert. The staff here was helpfull, polite and knowledgeable. The place was clean and orderly. The place is huge and it was packed but not overwhelming. Definitely check this place out.

Good place to watch a ball game. Jump on BART let's you off right there. But be careful walking from Bart to the park. anything could happen.

Parking is easy over priced and a deterrent to attending more events

The step hight was off and my wife tripped going up the stairs and broke her toe nail in section143. But other than that it was ok. Just like all the rest of the NFL stadiums over priced food and drinks.

Old run down stadium..needs new facelift..but it gets the job done

Was an unbelievable experience weather was perfect for football, food was great so much to see.

It was breath taking to experience a professional baseball game. the weather was perfect. there were 5 of us that went me and my girlfriend both above the wise age of 50. my Nephew that is a Giants nut and his girlfriend. both in there upper 20's. and the daughter that is in her mid teens. All of Us Enjoyed our time there. the food was great and pricey as to be expected. My suggestion would be to eat a good breakfast that morning so that you are not starving when the dangle that priceless hotdog that saved your life in front of you. lots of different food to pick from. ok back to the game. saw a few homers cheered for the A's. at one point we were in the food area while the game was going around the seventh inning and we could here the crowd cheering but it kept going so I went to see from the walk way that goes all the way around with food vendors. but you can still observe the field. so I had to find out just what was going on. and I did it was someone running around on the field with security in high pursuit. anyway one of the umps got fed up and leveled this guy and the hauled him off. the regulars didn't think much of it but I thought it was hilarious . cheap entertainment. we finished the game everyone had fun. definitely a memory that will not soon be forgotten. Very safe and fun environment. upon leaving we saw a huge Raiders sign draped over the top of the stadium and I thought to myself that would be cool. put it on the bucket list. I did see Chris Brown in the building up front this year the Oakland Colosseum. I will have to share that experiance if there is a chance to.

Good fans. Stadium is dated in some aspects, needs some upgrades. Parking and traffic flow good.

Great place and wonderful food.
Fun place for families.

#oaklandwasgreat was great the stadium was undescribable it was beautiful

Home of the Oakland A's and Raiders. The Raiders' last game here though will be on 12/23/2018. The A's are leaving too so watch a ballgame here before they tear it down and turn into a public park.
