What’s the Reggie Jackson story? What video did you tell in in Jordan? Thanks so much buddy.
I met him in a ice cream shop in Newport Beach.. was super cool, and joking around with me and my sister the whole time.. then he went to pay and I saw his world series ring and said, "oh wow! My sister and I are huge baseball fans! Wait, Reggie!" And his expression completey went blank.. like a robot.. I said, may I take a picture with you, since he was the only one in the place, and he barely responded.. when my sister took the picture he didn't smile or anything, and immediately got in his suv out front, stared at us for a couple seconds, then drove off.. so weird. Went from the nicest guy in the world, to a total jerk in seconds when I realized who he was.. kinda weird to me..
@@DazewithJordantheLion thanks buddy for the story I’m a huge baseball fan and Reggie is one of my favourites. Sorry he was a jerk, weird how he went from nice to mean. I hear he isn’t the nicest guy but man he was a legendary baseball player. He seems kinda strange, how do you go from nice to mean. At least Jose Canceco is a nice guy and I’m a huge fan of him. That guy is always good to fans and friendly. Also love Jose a lot but always sad to hear Reggie stories, never anything nice usually said about him. I think I heard a story where he signed a bat and smudged the autograph, sloppy autograph on the bat
@@DazewithJordantheLion I still love Reggie I know he’s an ass but I’m still a huge fan of him. That guy was incredible
@@DazewithJordantheLion Of course he’s gonna be a jerk. People are constantly bothering him for pictures every day. Gotta let the man breathe too he’s also human
@@DazewithJordantheLion lol dude that’s ur fault. How did u not know who he was right away? He was probly offended u just noticed it was him after u were taking for 5 minutes.
Been going to A’s games since I was a kid in the early 80’s. The hotdog guy you filmed has his own baseball card issued by Topps! Not kidding. He usually has them on him and will sign one for you. Thank you for putting a positive light on my A’s! They don’t get a lot of love.
That's Awesome
They don’t deserve a lot of love. Their ownership is garbage and is more interested in fleecing the town than fielding a competitive team. I went to an angels game 2 weeks ago and was SHOCKED how much better the experience was, not to mention the fact IT WAS CHEAPER THAN AN A’S game!!! I went to my first game this year (had to bring me newborn, regardless of my disgust for the current iteration) and everything cost more + the A’s are fielding a WILDLY inferior product compared to Ana.
No love for them right now. Sell the team. Lol #rootedinoakland.
What’s the card called?
@@alejandrobullock7234
Hal the Hot Dog Guy 😄
Sadly we literally sell every good player on our team.
Thanks for sharing. My late husband played baseball on the ASU team with Vida Blue and Reggie Jackson. He played Triple A for the Oakland A's till he got drafted for Vietnam. He loved baseball till his dying day.
Very cool!! ASU is a great program! I believe Andre either and Barry bonds also went there
Yes they did
@@DazewithJordantheLion At 5:14, that’s a Khris Davis shirt, not Rajai Davis. Khris Davis wore #2, Rajai Davis wore #11 when he was on the A’s.
Having our family home 1961-2015 a half mile from the Coliseum this home for me. Fan since 1972, the A's have needed a new park for decades. The owners hate Oakland and have done everything to trash the team to move elsewhere. I now work seasonal in the box office and it is heartbreaking to see fans staying away from the game.
Same thing Bob Short did to move the Washington Senators did in 1971 to move to Dallas. Best book about it is Kiss It Goodbye by Shelby Whitfield.
That's terrible, I hope they don't succeed. The A's should never leave that city.
As a Philadelphia baseball fan, some people here suggested the wrong team left Philadelphia!
Right now the Phillies are doing great, but there were times in the 1900's that the Philadelphia Athletics were the team to beat!
The ball player in the banner who you did not know happens to be Bert Campaneris. He was an All-Star SS for the Oakland A's during their championship years of 1972, 73 and 74.
I am a HUGE A's fan but live in Indiana. Your video was amazing! I've seen videos of the Coliseum before, but yours made me feel like I was there! The fact I may never make it to a game out there was eased because of your video. Thank you so much!
My first ballgame was at the Coliseum in 1980- A’s/Yankees. I was 5 years old and knew nothing about the game or players.
I asked my mother who I should root for and as an NY transplant she told me “ We’re from New York and we’re here to see the Yankees, but you can root for whoever you’d like.”
I chose the A’s and 42 years later I never wavered for a moment.
I refused to step foot in another ballpark ( including the new Giants park) until about 10 years ago when I went to Petco park- to watch A’s VS Padres.
Having moved to San Diego over a decade ago I have great respect for Padres and love Petco, but I am A’s for life.
Also had good times at the coliseum going to concerts, especially Metallica/Guns N Roses Day On The Green.
Just did a pilgrimage to the park this past weekend to pay my respects as I do believe they will tear it down soon.
The attendance may have been minimal but the spirit was strong.
No one had their phone out, everyone was fully focused on the game.
Everyone had all their best green and gold on.
After the game we all went down on the field and were treated to a fireworks show.
They didn’t bother covering the field, they just invited us all down to be on the grass. That’s down home East Bay style- come on in, pardon the mess, do your thing, you are welcome here. I do believe the A’s are going to Vegas and maybe that’s a good thing. Oakland could use more housing and industry and that area is a good choice to develop both. I will be forever proud to wear my green and gold and will likely continue to call the team the Oakland A’s no matter where they go. Thank you to all the staff and all the legendary characters at the coliseum who made the park what it is and made us all feel like a beloved part of the A’s family.
Let’s go Oakland! Now and forever.
My first baseball game was in Oakland in 1986. A's v. Yankees. I picked the A's as my team too.
I agree with him! Bay area native
Thank you for the inside look at this old stadium . Those rusted floors and the repairs were kinda shocking , they look like a lawsuit-waiting-to-happen Yikes!
@UCsCkP6SYCersjRJhaUkNq3Q Yeah I get that , the concrete was damaged and they covered it up with a metal plate . Just seems like something a lawyer would jump on if someone tripped or got hurt
Man I love Baseball!
In America right now, for my holiday coming from Sydney Australia.
Finally got to see some MLB games. Saw 3 Angels games this week! Watch Ohtani hit a bunch and finish off the 3rd game with a Homerun! I got to sit in so many different locations for a inning or 2 and enjoy all sides on Angels Stadium! No one even cared to check my ticket.
Going to Chase Field tomorrow to see Dbacks vs Cards. Ill be right behind Homeplate! Cant wait as D"Backs are my team. But im happy watching any baseball win or lose.
Welcome! Enjoy your experience at the parks!
Great experience!!!
Even if the stadiums beat up the team spirit and history still makes it better than some. Glad you held your streak!!
I agree! I enjoyed the game at that park, regardless. I loved the history all over the park
This is how I feel. All the new stadiums try toncopy each other and in the process old stadiums like this have become unique. The dilapidated old stadiums with history are way more interesting to me. Don't let them fool you they could clean the place up nicely if they wanted to.
This is shocking. Even if the plans are to move who welcomes paying guests to walk on rusted floors? Thank you, Jordan, for showing us everything and that it's not all rhinestones & roses out there. Always a fun and fascinating journey with you.
That was a blast! Seeing Oakland park I remember the 89 quake We were watching the game live in Vancouver B.C, This was a great vlog ! Sure appreciate your efforts and quality content thanks Jordan! A hello to Jah!
I love old baseball fields, especially Fenway Park, ty for taking us we may never get to see it if they tear it down
I'm a hardcore lifelong Braves fan, but without a doubt my favorite American League team is the Athletics. Their color scheme of green/yellow has always been my favorite uniforms (especially the Kelly Greens). That ballpark looks rough, and it reminds me a little of old Fulton County Stadium, nothing special, but there is something magical about it at the same time. I'd love to see a game there in person. Great video, very informative and well done!
Die Hard BRAVOS fan here 2
Wish more people in Oaktown cared about the A's...its a shame
Go Atlanta
Go Oakland!
@@mattgiguere5638 Growin' up as a fan in the 80s, when of course the Braves weren't very good, in the latter part of the decade, I would absolutely become a fan of the A's because of the "Bash Brothers". I realized then that you could certainly root for more than one team, and I've been a fan ever since!
@@mattgiguere5638 people do care about the A’s. What they don’t care for is ownership and how little they value the team. It’s truly sad ownership doesn’t consider putting in some real effort.
@@hofx666 Absolutely! This awesome franchise certainly deserves more love than the current owners show it, it's a real shame.
@@hofx666 very true.. that's what I'm saying
Absolutely loved the Bash Brothers back in the day! Very cool you met Canseco 😎 in Vegas
Shea stadium was my home, even towards the last months. Definitely dilapidated and would shake during packed events, so much history in that stadium not only for baseball but concerts and events. I will always keep those memories near my heart! Citi field is really nice, took some time for me to accept however well needed and deserved. Thanks for the tour!!! Brought me back to my memories here in NY. LGFM!! 🍎
I used to go to Shea as a kid. Only have been to Citi Field a few times since i dont live in Queens anymore, but id like to go again soon. Especially with the year they're having. Last time i went Kirk Nieuwenhuis was still on the team LMAO! LFGM!
@@Joemommas The ice cream helmets were my father’s favorite and he would give me his helmet, lol. Shea will always have a special place for us all especially when it involves our youth. LGFM!
I visited only one game ever at Shea. Almost exactly 15 years ago, when they blew their playoff chances in their final regular season game against the Marlins. Will never forget that game. I didn't know at the time it would be my first and last game at Shea (I live in Europe).
@@jaydawg2023 you get to say you’ve been and that’s a cool thing. Bad game but you were able to visit a very cool ballpark. Citi field is amazing and better designed but shea will always a special place in my heart.
As a fan of the A's in the 70's and 80's the player you had no idea who it was is Bert "Campy" Campaneris
Ahhh!! He's definitely one I didn't know much about
Great video love your positivity towards our last dive bar.
As a Giants fan living on this side of the bay I absolutely love and adore this stadium. I always say “it’s a dump but it’s our historic dump” I’m so in favor of the Athletics tearing down their stadium and building a new one right at the current site if they can. I really don’t want to see the A’s leave.
If your gonna say something positive about this place you should know the difference between bumb and dump
@@ejpm3367 I find it funny how you typo’d trying to bust somebody’s balls about a typo 😂
Great vlog, Jordan! Went to my first baseball game there, and so many after that. I got to see so many of the great players you mentioned...lOl, even Billy Martin! The last game I saw there was in 1982, I won 2 free tickets from a TV station for "Jerry Mathers Day", that was pretty fun!!!
Thank you, Jordan, for bring back some wonderful memories!!! 🌼
Thank you Jordan for continuing to show us Stadiums and other places that most of us will never be able to visit. I really appreciate tagging along with you Even though this particular Stadium definitely Needs some TLC! All my Best to You
i'd like to say that this is unfortunately the only ball park I have ever seen a game at. Kinda sad to see it is literally the worst.
In its fairness, games are still watchable, but understandably it could be so much better.
Love it ! Nice pick on the hat !! There’s a ballpark in Dallas Fort Worth area. That had a lazy river. You should check that place out some time ! It’s always a great day when your at a ball game !!
The tarped-off seating is pretty much unusable for baseball. Because of the angle, you can only see half the field from up there. Those seats are part of Mount Davis, the towering structure in the outfield that was built for the Raiders (who have left for Las Vegas).
One of the ballgirls at 15:49 was Debbie Fields, who went on to found Mrs. Fields Cookies.
That's Bert Campaneris at 17:20.
The A's attendance has been terrible this season. They doubled ticket prices and traded away some of the fans' favorite players. They've had the worst won-lost record in MLB at times this season, and they currently have the second-worst. They've let the ballpark deteriorate, presumably because they know they'll be moving soon.
Cool factoid about Mrs Fields cookies.
They’re definitely leaving Oakland sometime soon, they’re just letting that city eat itself
@@crs0176 they’ve been saying that for the 26 years I’ve been alive though. There’s not really too many big markets left for MLB unless they share a location with or move a triple a team, or share a location with another MLB team, or if MLB decides to go international.
@@carvellthedon yeah but have you seen the O Town lately?
I grew up in Hayward 10 miles from the A's stadium. I went to a ton of A's games growing up. Bleacher tics were 1.75 a piece
HAYWARD BABY
Loved the walk through tour, get to see everything always a bonus. 👌
One park I’ve always wanted to visit, thanks for the tour and great video!
Didn’t see any reference to Charlie Finley who was responsible for reviving the Oakland franchise and introduction of the designated hitter. The franchise has a history that other teams envy. Hopefully they can remain in Oakland because it’s a very interesting story of when Charley O Finley moved the team from Kansas City to Oakland
They never should left Philadelphia. The New York Yankees pulled a fast on owners at that time. They used to have Blue hats with Red trim.
@@travismcdonald6576 Finley had a deal to trade the entire organization to Chicago for the White Sox entire organization.
That was awesome ... thanks for taking us with you.
This was cool to watch! The Oakland A's stadium is one of the oldest stadiums but they should fix it up a little. lol
Wrigley is the oldest and even they renovated it
I miss ol Comisky Park 🙂💯⚾
The stadium is a big reason why the Raiders moved to Las Vegas. Just unfortunate the city of Oakland didn’t want to put money into a new one. It still feels weird to call them the Las Vegas Raiders
The City is unable to pay for it. And the owners should pay for it actually.
So you think that citizen should subsidize the rich I see.
Only on professional sports is the public expected to fund a private enterprise for billionaires. Insanity.
@@martintimmer8574 plenty of wasted resources by those in charge. Building the stadium would provide jobs for decades to come.
@@joseperales2381 And in 5 / 10 years.
Owners: Build us another stadium / arena or we are going to leave.
Citizens : Don't let the traffic jam run you outta gas .
You were in my old stomping grounds. I've been to many shows at the Coliseum and in the Stadium. Journey played many "Day On The Greens" there. Pink Floyd played there. There was the Guns N' Roses riot. I got stuck in the middle of that one. $30,000.00 in damages to the playing field. My first concert was Neil Diamond. So many memories. Sadly, the place is getting old, and no one wants to save anything anymore. Got to have new. Where you can plug your phone in and have soft comfy seat. I hope they don't tear it down, but I won't be surprised if they do. Thanks for bringing us along. Stay safe and take care.
loved the video Jordan this was awesome and you picked a great hat to buy . You got to keep your winning streak going. this wasa fun, exciting video.
I don't like watching baseball on TV but I would enjoy going to a game. Sports are so different in person compared to TV.
I Love It When you take is to baseball games. Thankyou Jordon & kind regards from Hilbert, Western Australia.
Loved this video!!!
I’m not a A’s fan but I feel for the team. Such great teams from the past now it’s just a ghost town.
What makes Jordan so good at what he does is he’s so engaging. I’ve watched a number of these where I wouldn’t have been super interested otherwise but wanted to watch and learn because it’s Jordan doing it. He’s the best at this imo.
I’ve always been an A’s fan from way afar. I’ve never even been to Oakland. Though I have seen the A’s on the road several times. It’s sad. Such an amazing team. Some of the best, most iconic uni’s in all the mlb.
Watching this, it just seems like the team is already gone. The fans will miss the team here.
Man, the Raiders leave again and looks like the A’s are out the door now too.
As deteriorating as that ball park is, I still would have loved to see a game there.
When I think of the A's Rollie Fingers and Sal Bando come to mind. Great Video Jordan.
Great video! All I could think of was how much Grandpa will be enjoying this video!!!!
Rust just means there's actually metal rebar in the cement which is good in our earthquake area just needs new flooring on top. Notice it held up well in the Loma prieta unlike the freeway near where they plan to build a new one and some downtown Oakland buildings. That is fixable cosmetic issues.
Nice video! The upper deck/glassed in box seats area in center field with the retired jersey #'s is known as "Mount Davis" (Al)...built for Raiders football games...not really ever used for baseball games.
Hi Jordan & Jah
Greetings from Colorado! Was fun hanging out with you & watching the game. Sam & Dakota send their Love ❤️ to the Jahster 🥰🌹
Crazy just went to the ranger vs. Oakland game here in Texas, Oakland my fav team and also a fan of your videos
Living only a few miles away from the coliseum, it’s really understandable to have comments such as how much of a dump it is. Truthfully, yeah it is, however for us fans of the A’s it’s kinda like the movie Sandlot. Those kids play in a crappy baseball field, but have a ton of good memories that come with it. That’s this stadium. Of course it doesn’t compare to any of the stadiums in use now in regards to how nice they look, but the history it does have outweighs most of them. Though I can’t wait for the new stadium to arrive as it’s well over do!
I respect that 💯
As a kid that grew up on the Southside Of Chicago ⚾💯👍🏾
Hope you enjoyed your visit. Been going since the late 80s when I was a toddler. Just went to the game last night. I love the fact we have been the under dogs for years. Also love how grimey it is. I love that this park is rated the worst in the mlb. Continuing that blue collar style fan base. The thing I love the most is hearing “CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES COME ON” at the end of a game.
That's so cool. I'm looking forward to my first visit to the Coliseum next Spring. All the way from Europe to catch some ballgames in California. Can't wait to get to Oakland and the Coliseum before it's gone.
I love the intro! Brought me back to a time when MTV played music,
Always love your videos this one's awesome
Thanks!
I love baseball it's the only sport I follow. I also love your baseball Vlogs. I don't care how old a baseball stadium is.
If I had the opportunity I would always go watch a game, check out the stadium and have a good time. Thank you for sharing with us.
Jordan great video I follow the As great segment!!!
Great vlog!
Thanks for taking me to a game. Go Oakland A's. Love you and Jah. I hope you always have fun and stay safe.
I grew up in SF and went to many games in Oakland as well as SF back in the 60's - 70's. I also went to many concerts in Oakland, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Sabbath, etc. The last time I went to an A's game I used BART and was robbed. It is very scary these days. Be safe and thanks for the memories of watching some of the baseball greats!!
Hi Jordan, oh my, that stadium needs more than a lick of paint. I love looking around the 'Game Used' sections, some good items in there. Always great seeing the history of the stadiums and the mascots. Great vlog Jordan.
People don't take into account the nostalgia for the past teams and the success of those teams... Stadiums and players come and go buy memories last a lifetime...Thanks for sharing
Well said
Growing up in the East Bay and going to A's games as a kid, I wish they would tear down Mt Davis so you can see the Oakland hills again. One thing the Last Dive Bar has are the troughs as urinals. Nothing like being next to a guy, taking care of business and a drunk squeezing his way in between... or was that during a Raiders game.
I respect the As so much as a baseball team. But what the franchise/owners are doing to the fans with this atmosphere and stadium is a shame
Great 👍 vlog 👏
I really enjoyed this video. The place definitely has an old timers feel to it.
Killer content, commentary and info! Rickey Henderson is my favorite player of all time and this video alone got me to subscribe to your channel… Thanks bro! You need to come to Spring Training for the Az in Mesa Arizona… They have probably the nicest stadium in the cactus league, the biggest Jumbotron
Great video. This makes me want to go so bad lol
Very cool video.
Thanks for the video
Brought back memories
I was a kid in the 1970s we went every week all season and every year. My favorite was the Hot Dogs. I would help and get free snacks
Great memories..
I can't believe you caught 2 home runs ON VIDEO! So cool. Shockingly light on attendance, though. Fun game. I remember Mets hot dogs as the best hot dogs anywhere (in the 70s.) I used to eat 8 at every game! (And I only weigh(ed) 90 lbs.)
Thank you for this. PERFECTION. We needed it.
A’s Alwayz.
Hi Jordan, as always we enjoy each and everyone of your videos, were to began. We really enjoyed all the videos in Vegas with Todd and Cat, we think it is so cool that you all became friends. Really enjoyed seeing all the great movie memorabilia that Todd has displayed on the items his mother the great Debbie Reynolds had collected. We were luck enough to meet Miss Reynolds at her dinner club she owned. She told so many great stories about some of the items that she collected, she was fascinating to listen to. Glad you had a good time with your wresting we know you enjoy that. Your trip with Scott from start to finish was fun to watch and it was great to see Scott with you again. We will admit we do miss seeing Jah with you. Hopefully he is going well. We also really like the video you did on Johnny Cash's house. That was so nice they reached out to you so you could go see it. All in all Jordan we really enjoy all the videos that you do, keep up the good work. Can't wait to see your next videos.
I've been going to the Oakland Coliseum since I was a little kid and the memories I had at this place for A's games and for the Oakland Raider games. I even made a lot of videos of me making vlogs of the Coliseum in my CZcams Channel. I know its an aging stadium but it can be a lot of fun going with the right people. Just sucks the Owners keep trading the best players for prospects and keeping a lot of fans uninterested in the product. Thanks for showing the positives of Coliseum even tho those rusty floors look ugly lol
I am a SF GIANTS fan, but as a kid I went to so many A's games. My cousins were bat boys for the A's around the time Ricky Henderson broke the steals record. I met Jerry Mathers from "Leave it to Beaver" at an A's game! He was sitting in a private area, but us pesky kids opened the door and asked for autographs, he was so cool about it! He signed all our baseballs.
Being from SoCal my team has always been The Dodgers but, my AL team has always been the A's. Henderson one of my favorite players of all time and was still showing the young kids how to play hard in his late 40's. Living in NorCal now I've been to a few A's games in the last few years and oddly enough every time we sat in the lower deck between home plate and 3rd base. We parked on the same side about half-way between the park and the street and it seemed to only take us 10 minutes to exit the lot every time. Took about 5 minutes to walk to car and another 5 to get out of the lot. And then of course the almost 2 hour trip home. I did hear that they finally decided to build a new park because if the A's left Oakland, they would probably never get another pro sports team again.
Are the owners or the taxpayers paying for it ?
From Norfolk , Virginia .
@@bak-mariterry5180 Looks like about $279 million of that will not only be local taxpayers but, all of California subsidizing it through Port of Oakland improvement funds. I didn't see anything about total cost.
@@RedBud315 They WILL be cost over runs.
The local political party has to get their cut.
My Stros are 33 games ahead of the A’s. They’re not very good this year. Glad you seen them win !!
Great video Jordan.
Fun vlog man. I would of bought the same hat. That rusty floor is just asking for a foot and ankle to get stuck in it.
I like the old stadiums. That one just needs a little love.
They may have stuck out with the maintenance of the stadium. But they sure hit the ball out of the parkand and won . You made the wright choice with the hat Jordan Thanks for the fun , l love these video . 🤗💛👍
Good video Jordan
You missed on the history wall about the most famous ball girl in the 70's. Debbie Fields of Mrs. Fields Cookies was a ball girl for the A's. Also featured was a cute Stanley Burrell aka MC Hammer with Charlie Finley.
Great to see you have kept your winning record streak going.
Appreciate!
Cool retro stadium! Nice tour! I was wondering if you would find any references to the epic Day on the Green concerts, like Van Halen's Unchained, So This Is Love, and Hear About it Later videos.
At the cow palace?
It may be falling apart but there is something special about those old stadiums that are just round cement blocks. Really the last of it's kind in baseball now
I agree!
I met Dennis Eckersley in 1992 while working at Toys R Us in Dublin, CA. My family and I went to A's games all the time in the late 80s early 90s. Great memories of the Coliseum.
They still play the same song when the A's win. Celebrate Good Times, whoo hoo!
Thanks Mr. Jordan! What a nail biter! I'm glad your winning streak continues. :)
🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏
Thank you for sharing.
Wow what a cool old ballpark
Love how you can turn on a dime to do something else when a planned destination doesn't turn out. Cheers!
We love ur vlog and Ja, miss seeing him
That was fun. I hope you got something from the game used area.
Been an A's fan all my life
Sucks that the A’s will likely move. Libby Schaff has single handedly lost the city of Oakland for generations by losing the Raiders and soon the A’s. Not to mention she lost the Warriors too
Right. The Raiders 'fans' didn't support the team. Ever since they came back from LA they've been in the bottom 5 teams in attendance. Same with the A's. Put the blame where it belongs. Why in the hell would a city spend $$$$$ to build a new stadium for a team that the 'fans' don't support.
@@rhp_6926 The Raiders and Warriors moved because their venues were dumps thanks to the leadership of Oakland, not because of attendance issues. The A's will likely leave for the same reason.
@@rhp_6926 if you build it they will come. Raiders have no issues filling up the stadium in Vegas. Oakland Coliseum is a dump, it stinks, and the surrounding area is filled with bums trash and crime. Why would anybody want to take their family out to a place like that when they can watch it comfortably at home? Raiders fans have no problems filling up SoFi Stadium!
@@rhp_6926 What about the warriors?? You conveniently left them out. The Bay Area supports it's sports teams and the numbers prove it
@@StaYUTI420 the city and state don’t believe in government handouts for billionaires. If the A’s want a stadium then they can build it themselves.
I was gonna talk shit about you not knowing Stephen Voght is hella clutch when he needs to be, but I enjoyed the entire video very much. Nice job!
Ever done the filming locations of the "Sound of Music" .... I am guessing you did and I just missed it. That is my 2nd favorite movie behind the "The GodFather".
I live in Berkeley ,CA - I would have bought you guys lunch if I knew you were coming up here.
You have to go to a fireworks night that’s when the fans come out. Lol.
Luv the part with the Dad and son grooving to the music going to there seats. You knows A’s fans know how to Groove. Lol. 👍🏼.
I always try to go to one game or more every season. GO A’s!!?
L was a Giant fan bur years ago when MvGuire was a rookie this "dump" was not this bad. Who ruined this place was Al Davis. He added the upper deck in the outfield and this place was never the same. The last 5-8 years is when the this place became real bad and not safe.
Always a fun time travelling to go to an A's game.....especially when the team is competitive!
I like this stadium . The shirts and hats are very cool . The tram colors are awsome green / yellow combo is great . Not a bad place to watch a game
They won't get the teams like they had in the early 70's since the big money hit the league and Qakland is a smaller market team where players develope and move on like Tamp Bay. I would like to see the team get a new stadium in Oakland for the fans. If you build it, they will come. Oakland deserves it more than Las Vegas.
1:14 I know this is off topic but that bens burgers place is so good
I live about an hour and a half from there and have been going to games on both sides of the bay for 40 years. The Coliseum has looked like that for 30 years. The scoreboard looks like something out of a run down community college. The Giants stadium was built 22 years ago and looks like it's from another planet compared to the Coliseum. That place is a dump!
Agreed and sad😩
Dodger Stadium was built before this dump and looks great because they don't have tightwad owners.
Damn Fam.
Ps Shall no remodeling occur convert it into a speedway like Sears Point where drag racing and side shows can be regulated and profitable. Or at least during the offseaseson.
