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

For ad much as they charge for events and for as much as they charge at the concession stands you would think that they would keep this place clean. Restrooms are always dirty, just down right nasty. And then the food is terrible, damn we pay for gourmet and get less them AM/PM quality. WTF?!

Wish oakland would have reinvested in it to keep the Raiders.

The only good thing here was the employees and how friendly most of them were. Having been to almost every stadium, I do not hesitate to say this is by far the worst with the only one close being Tropicana Field in St. Pete.

It was fun because the A's swept the other team and it was father's day

We went for a monster truck rally and it was an awesome experience

Home of the Raiders!!!! Awesome place to see a game!!!

(I do recommend) - My First Broncos vs Raiders football game, and possibly the last game of the Raiders in the Oakland Coliseum. For many years I believe the hype of wearing the opposite team clothing will get you hurt, that is so untrue, yes fans we're giving me a hard time because I'm a Broncos fan but no one ever threaten me. It was loud, cold, and the fans we're doing the wave and rumbling the floor of the bleachers. Even though my team lost I had a great time with my sister watching Monday Night Football LIVE!!!! What a great experience. Big Thanks to the Alameda County Sheriff, Police Officers & AEG for keeping everyone SAFE!!! SEC 146 ROW 5

Old stadium. It's not terrible, but not above average.

We went to the As playoff game and they disappointed as usual over crowded no facilities outside one area and it was a walk to find them. We didn't find d the nachos which are fantastic lines long build a new facility. The view from the nosebleed section actually demanded I give this rating awesome views chk it out

Every time I see a show here I have a wonderful time Weather it's Pink Floyd or Green Day it's awesome.

Awesome venue love the Coliseum lots of history there

Horrible stadium experience for baseball. Nearly every detail shows the stadium's age and lack of maintenance. Do not attempt to eat here. Do not attempt to buy anything here, as the prices are shockingly worse than Yankee Stadium.

Mostly good but what I found when I got back to the hotel and was going through my receipts I found they charged me 50 bucks for parking instead of the 30 that was on the sign. My bad I guess for not having my glasses and not paying enough attention to realise I was overcharged. Kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. This was at the August 1 Blue Jay's and Oakland A's game.

Maybe I am a sentimentalist, but there is something charming about this stadium. Sure it's aged and it isn't high tech but there isn't a bad seat in house and the energy is infectious.

The stadium is old, dilapidated and looks like Guantanamo Bay but the fans are the best!!!

Parking is 30$ on game days. Real rip off considering there was no security!

Parking is horrible, no rhyme or reason to it, sit in traffic for hours to park your car.

One of the worst and most dated sports venues I've ever been to.

The best place in the world its awesome and i love the people. Go A's woooohooo
oo

Handicapped accessibility is very difficult.
* When taking BART to the stadium, I can use the elevator to get down and check out of the station, but then there are SEVERAL STAIRS to climb to get out of the station to the skywalk to the stadium.
* The skywalk itself is also a very long walk when disabled, and to make matters worse, one has to navigate through crowds of people who are not paying any attention and bumping into each other as they hurry along, scalpers pushing against the crowds, and vendors with their food and clothing and the musicians with their musical instruments strewn across the walkway. If your tickets are "on call" you have to literally go to the opposite side of the stadium to pick them up. If you are very lucky, you MIGHT get a ride in a golf cart after you have crossed the skywalk, but even then, you might not get a ride the full distance, and even if you do, you are on your own again once you pick up your tickets.

There are limited entrances, and your seat could be quite far from wherever you pick up your ticket, and enter the building. Then...there are MORE STAIRS just to get to your seat, which is too small to accommodate most American butt sizes.

I adore watching baseball live. I won't even waste my time watching it on TV. But when the stadium makes it such a nightmare for a disabled person to attend a game, it becomes a super rare event for me to enjoy. I would make it much more of a routine if it wasn't so hard to get there and so uncomfortable to sit in those chairs.

Go A's. Love that you are encouraged to bring in your own food

If you can find a customer service representatives that know what they are doing your lucky. FILTHY environment around the coliseum. Homeless tents, trash, filth surrounding this stadium.
If you have difficulty walking for more than 2 blocks this will be almost impossible for you to get into coliseum. NO disability assistance to get from parking to coliseum only a rediculously long walk up ramps and along walkway while viewing industrial area, trash, graffiti and homelessness.
Difficult getting to coliseum with sellers trying to sell tickets and memorabilia along the streets and even walking in the middle of the road in between cars.

Omg I don't want Raiders to move wish they can just pitch in and get a new stadium......

Dump, restrooms leak feces. Cant wait till we go to Vegas.

Tree House tix plus Sharks and Warriors playoffs...walk off HR-- it's all good in Oakland.

The old school stadium rock! They shoukd never leave.

Wow! great Oakland's stadium, everyone enjoying from children to elders....

Love it,and it's a great place to watch your spots at.

The game was fun! Helpful police and staff. Good deals on A's merchandise and snacks. I would like to see the County invest a little more in cleaning up the surrounding area - very dirty and dodgy. Loads of fans so there was safety in numbers.

Stadium is old but the staff and people are great. I may be biased as a raider fan but had a great time

Poor parking off freeway. Should have been handled better.

Been going to A's games here since 1981.
They've added and upgraded so much. It has the best value of ballparks anywhere; game ticket prices & packages, food, events & giveaways.

Coliseum was . Lots of food all kinds of prices you can also bring your own. Bathrooms were pristine.

Fun. Aside from the hawkers for every liquor store item you can think of.
Went for a company gathering and had a blast. Had no idea what was happening in the game though.

Great stadium, TERRIBLE staff. Extremely strict on seating even when stadium is barren. Which I do understand but at a certain point you are just kicking yourself. It isn't like they have a solid fan base already.

Had a chance to take in a game with my fanboy. We had a blast! The stadium shows it's years but the fans are awesome. We go there often for the fun atmosphere. Not a lot of vegan options except for fries so that's why only 4 stars.

It's worn but the best place to watch a warriors game hands down.
The food is really bad and should be for the price.

Loved the atmosphere. Went to my 1st game with all my kods and 3month old grandson for my birthday

One of my favorite places to be. Fun games, great company, and good atmosphere! #Woo!

Having been to Giants stadium which is a little more aesthetically pleasing I think the Coliseum is awesome. Food is way better and better price. Staff is much friendlier. Go A's.

This place is amazing!!!!! I'm sad the raiders are leaving, but I love it here.

Classic baseball experience, no frills, but that's the idea.

I'll miss the greatest memories of my 40 year old life!

The Oakland Coliseum is the best venue to attend a sporting event. Its history, ambiance, environment and the passion of the people resonate. Some claim it is antiquated. This is a claim of the bias. In other words, those counter to what post Great Migration Oakland represents represents.
I overheard three people from the East Coast and Midwest discussing how the atmosphere at the Raider game was the best they had ever experienced. Obviously, from my inquiry, they had experienced several. I was not surprised.

Low key place to watch the Oakland A's play . The new was a fun place to hang out.

This makes the 20th different major league baseball Park that I've been to. This place is so poorly maintained. I've been to many minor league stadiums that are way better than here. No wonder the Raiders want to move to Las Vegas.

Big stadium, lots of places to eat. Cool places to eat or shop, hang out or have a drink.

I like the new hand rails on stairs,it helps for disabled like me,steps at 126 were too high for me though.
