Finding an ABANDONED SUITE at the Oakland Coliseum
Vložit

- This place keep getting weirder, but it's also VERY cool and unique. I mean, can you imagine a suite at Yankee Stadium being wide open for anyone to wander in and take a look? It'd get vandalized within 90 seconds, but the fans in Oakland are much more chill. Maybe the A's left the suite unlocked to allow people to wander? Maybe more people end up paying for suites that way? I would love to know the answer.
Other than that, I got hooked up in a really cool way by bullpen catcher Dustin Hughes (@dhog91) who threw me three baseballs -- one in each level of the stadium -- to help me get to 100 lifetime balls at the Coliseum. As promised, here's a list of all 27 stadiums where I've reached triple digits:
New Yankee Stadium -- 2,250
Shea Stadium -- 2,173
Citi Field -- 1,579
Oriole Park at Camden Yards -- 678
Old Yankee Stadium -- 560
Citizens Bank Park -- 525
Nationals Park -- 328
Great American Ball Park -- 296
Turner Field -- 239
Globe Life Park -- 234
Kauffman Stadium -- 231
Fenway Park -- 226
Petco Park -- 203
Chase Field -- 199
Dodger Stadium -- 164
Guaranteed Rate Field -- 153
Progressive Field -- 153
Coors Field -- 148
T-Mobile Park -- 146
Wrigley Field -- 143
Comerica Park -- 131
Rogers Centre -- 134
American Family Field -- 115
loanDepot Park -- 115
PNC Park -- 106
Minute Maid Park -- 105
Oakland Coliseum -- 102
In case you missed my previous video when I got SIX FOUL BALLS during the game, here it is:
• Snagging SIX FOUL BALL...
Also, here's the video from Miami where EVERYthing good happened:
• I got EVERYTHING I WAN...
The newest video in Oakland with the abandoned suite was filmed on September 19, 2023 by Rachel Messbauer, and it was edited by Zac Gutherman (@zg_films). Thanks for watching! - Sport

As a Seattle fan, I'm going to miss this place. Everything sounds so familiar with all the countless games we've played the A's in there, listening on the radio and watching on TV. Especially those drummers who never get tired of it!
miss this dump lol?
As someone who has been to that stadium good riddance what a dump and the city should also be abandoned what a dump.
@@theb3654me if I were stupid.
I did this last night 🤣 that’s for the video helped a ton
Thank you
As a Yankee fan, it's kinda sad to see this stadium empty
You don’t need to announce you’re team
😂
Me too. Thanks Zach!
@@theepie25I think the point being he’s not being biased because he doesn’t root for the Athletics.
Well you did take all their good players. The A's was and is your farm system.
It’s a shame that the A’s are leaving Oakland. I used to take BART with my kids to the games. Seeing it so empty makes me sad. I blame the selfish owner AND the government officials for the city of Oakland. They tried to move to San Jose (not too far from Oakland), but the San Francisco Giants stopped that because they had a minor league team there (even though there are more people and have more income down there). Oakland lost their basketball team (Warriors), their football team (Raiders), and now they will lose their baseball team. I hope Vegas treats them well.
I blame the economy as well. You have to think this area used to be a booming area with higher than normal income. It could support 3 major sports teams. Now, the area is the least poor out of San Jose and San Francisco.
These teams need to sell a lot of tickets, especially the high price suites and Vip members, to support the team. Also selling just generally tickets. It costs more to keep the lights and water on than how much tickets were sold during this game.
Also, due to the area, it's just not favorable. It is a pretty poor area with a decent crime rate
It’s a crazy crime rate in Oakland. Even in n out burger is leaving due to it
When was the last time you went to a game bruh?
@@jpesicka999 When my adult kids were young…it was a while ago.
Last game I went to there was 20 years ago or so. The upper deck was mostly empty. I saw a fight break out on the upper deck where two people were trying to throw each other over the rail. Security took forever to get there. A few minutes later, two drunk chicks walked up to the front of the aisle and flashed the batter about 10 ft away from me. I'm a Giants fan, but that was a fun game.
The Oakland Coliseum is basically already abandoned
Lol
😬
Zach you are the best content creator on this site thank you for everything ❤
@@zackhample❤
Damn it was just about to say that
I think it’s super cool that Dustin collects commems! Definitely a super cool thing for you two to have in common! As for the coliseum, the weird quirks of it such as that box, the random stair cases that lead to nowhere, the layout, etc, those random aspects make the place all the more unique and glorious. Fans can talk about new stadiums all they want, but there’s just a special feeling about being at an old fashioned/one of kind ballpark such as Oakland. Especially in its last few years.
I totally agree! Well said.
The designs can be quirky but they could at least take care of it.
@@TheKing12829?
This stadium has so much history, it's sad that they are letting this team go. The fans of Oakland deserve better.
I'm still recovering from the Raiders leaving to Las Vegas. Oakland will always be the heart of the Raiders Nation. ❤
Still, it was, by far, the most poorly-designed stadium ever built. Converting from baseball to football was insanely sloppy and inefficient.
Too bad Oakland hates sports
I love the atmospheres at these games in Oakland. Reminds me of the 1980s, when crowds were smaller and their collective personalities were more, I don't know how to put it, like they were in these two videos. Just there to watch the game and enjoy themselves and enjoy baseball.
I said this in a comment on the last video too, but I'm going to miss the A's being in Oakland.
I worked Jack Murphy stadium in San Diego in the 70's. Generally, (MLB) baseball players are just little kids, grown up. And Zack follows the trend. This is what baseball is/should be all about.
And you never know. We are still fighting. I would be surprised if John Fisher can pull off his move and if he does 🤔
@@elisemariecollinsyoga5905 It's done, the MLB owners voted 30-0 to relocate the A's to Las Vegas... Oakland had plenty of time to sort out a new stadium, unfortunately MLB patience ran out and your time EXPIRED at the end of 2022... All Oakland had to do was BUILD A NEW BALLPARK! Build it and he will come... Build it and they will come... From the film Field of Dreams...
Right man you just had to be there. Same crowds you would see at the raiders games. Even though the As were never really that good the fans always made the games feel like the team was something special. Made you want to go to the games just because of how wild it got
Wow that was a sad time - the 80s - for the As. Because attendance was so bad, a college radio station actually broadcast the Athletic games - not carried the national feed but actually had two students do the broadcast. Not as bad as in the 70s when a low-powered FM high school station carried the games for part of a season. 10 watts at the time.
Me and my friends found that same suite when we went to the A's and Giants games! We originally had pretty crappy seats and stumbled across that open suite, pretty nice view for the games!
That throw to the upper deck was awesome.
Right on target. Unreal.
The "Holy Toledo" tribute sign was even shaded out (11:48). Wow. Even the late A's /Raiders PBP announcer Bill King can't even get love in the coliseum's waning days.
I live 1 mile from the Coliseum…been to countless games and I can hear the stadium rally music from my bedroom. It’s my church.
Being a Oakland Athletic must be a Rush! Playing in front of dozens of people every night.
It's hard to believe how old some of these stadiums have gotten, like this one. Fifty-seven years old! Opened in 1966 at the dawn of the cookie-cutter, circular multi-use stadium boom. Between the A's and the Raiders, it became quite a historic venue. Sad it's all about to come to an end as time marches on.
There's a 'cutting edge owner' and the construction people who built for the Raiders? Money wins and MLB fans(Oakland, East Bay) lose.
I wish every Athletics fan or supporter could pool and buy the team. MlB is throwing away one of their great double team Metro areas.
@@JojjonLewis-yq2pm You can't buy anything that isn't for sale...
My first stadium growing up. Sadly after almost 60 games there is really sad that it will end this way. But Zach, you have a great channel love your foul ball videos and some or later you'll come back hourly next year down in where i am SD. keep up the great work!
I like seeing you visit these late season teams with limited attendance. Makes the foul ball hunt seem fun. Everyobe there was so happy to see you too.
Thanks. It's sooooo much fun to be at stadiums with small crowds.
I miss the As of the Seventies. Reggie, Rudi, Campy, and Catfish ❤
Well, your shit hole liberal town causes three major sports teams are now gone. That’s on you guys you keep voting liberal politics. Shame on you dude.
Ricky in the early 80s
Hope I can meet Dustin Hughes one day he really is a cool guy. Love how zack has all this space at this stadium. Really makes the video better so much more action
Man Zack I was actually at this game sitting in the left field bleachers. Would’ve been great to meet you, the man capable of living out his dreams. I really respect you.
That said, we can all sense how ownership has killed this franchise. Killing the product on the field, reducing the fan experience off of it, while doubling ticket prices. Then we can’t get excited about the young guys because we may have no future in Oakland. Anyways man, thanks for coming out and showing our history some love.
I recall the days when the fans bought cheaper upper deck seats and then sat nearly the whole game in the lower bowl... No wonder the upper deck was closed and other seats increased... The fans dug their own hole...
Always good to "know a guy". Pretty cool you hooked up Dustin with that Marlins ball. Never seen someone play "catch" from the 3rd deck. Haha. More cool catches. Until the next video...
It sure is. Dustin is the best!
What i also find awesome is when you made that 2nd foul ball catch, I like how everyone saw that you caught it and then people notice you in the stands lol im excited for these playoffs i hope luck strikes you if you’re going to them
Ahhh....I have spent many and I mean many afternoons there watching Billy Ball and of course there for The Silver and Black from the time they came back and now gone AGAIN. Section 121 row 23! I hear you on it being sort of weird, but between the A's and Raider's I have had a heavy heart in that place for decades. Long live OAKTOWN!
That Was So Dope
Hample, Messbauer & Gutherman
Making It Happen
Thank You
6:40 thats an awesome stat and really impressive sir thank you for the dope videos here at the coliseum, i grew up in the bay and the A’s are my fav team and i love watching all ur videos here!
Dude...........I really think you have some kind of Rawlings made magnet inside of you!!
I actually remember going to the Oakland Coliseum way back in the day. It's been a long time since i haven't gone since then. That is a good memory tho. Let's Go A's!
I love seeing you interact with Ben and the Orioles and Dustin with the A's just seem like really great guys !
Underrated: the food at the Coliseum, particularly the (Miller’s) hot dogs.
Man the atmosphere of being at a game just the sounds have me goosebumps great video. It’s sad this classic franchise is moving. I hope they have success in Vegas.
Those luxury suites are the best. Good all around food, and it has that cozy feel. Plan on getting one or two more suites, before they head on out of town.
Its so cool you are having a great time and giving baseballs to fans. I totally love it
I remember the early 1970's when Oakland played in 3 A. L. Series with Baltimore.The A's had a great team then for many years,and both teams were pretty evenly matched,what players they had on that team!!!
I was a Dodgers fan & these A's in 74 plowed right through us,what a team...cool uniforms too!
I love how u always passing baseballs to the kids respect
Lots of sports history happened there. Lots of legends called that place home field.
That was priceless "They Need you on the field" LoL
As a kid, lived, grew up outside the Bay Area...A's....Bando, Tennace, Reggie, Gene, tell them to grow Mustache's...... Giants, Mays, Bonds, McCovey..... Live in Miami area now Season ticket holder since their inaugural year... Have a few of those inaugural ball's.... figured my way around the stadium enriching myself with many auto's, never obtained Jeter's.....My favorite, Fernandez....R.I.P........they did him wrong!...
This is a video I’ll definitely be saving Zach love the vids
Great video and love to see your kind gestures to other fans!
This video brings back a lot of memories, I had season to the coliseum with the raiders in section 330. Miss that place being home.
Your a legend my guy. Straight ball magnet 👍👍👍
As a Braves fan I’m so glad that Shea Langeliers is flourishing up there in Oakland. Hope he turns into that big time player that I know he can be!🔥🤟
My bet is that they just forgot to lock the doors to the suites and since so few people are up there continue to forget. Though it would have been perfect had your brief tour of the suite attracted security from somewhere. I wonder if any adventurous fans will go up there for some non-baseball related activities.
Haha, ohhhhhh boy
How do we know the Z-man himself didnt do that exact thing?🤫
What is it about Oakland videos that makes them get so many views??? First the "Worst Seat" vid with a million and now this one with over 200k! Makes me fall even more in love with this amazing stadium!!
13:32 “They need you on the field!” That was funny!
Thank you again Zack, this series has been depressing, I hate to see a MLB team/fans go through what has gone on there. The empty suite didn't help. Cool to see another park though, even through a camera lens:)
Awesome video! Some awesome throws by Dustin too
@5:30 to 5:51. Thank you for including that! We appreciate it!
I saw a lot of baseball games there from the 70's and 80s. I also went to day on greens there through the 70's 80's and 90's. Lots of good times at the Coliseum.
Thanks for proving it possible to have fun at an A's game.
Your dope man love seeing you interact with the fans and give out game balls
Zack your so entertaining you even make the oakland coliseum look fun 😅great video
Thanks but it IS fun.
This guy goes to baseball games everyday, it’s amazing
When I was there last Saturday, I bought myself a "SELL" shirt even though I'm not an A's fan. Congrats on catching your 100th baseball at the Coliseum, Zack!
Thanks and I wish I saw one of those shirts for sale.
@@zackhamplepretty sure we could get you a shirt
Let’s Go Oakland!!!! Congrats on 100!!
Wow Such a very wholesome guy. Thanks for everything your doing for my generation 💪🏻👊🏼
It really Means a lot.
It is sad that beautiful Ball Park
will be a relic of the Past in Years to Come
Good night from Chicago Zack, good to see you went to Bay area game. Bad luck didnt have business trip but kids will happen to see which the field they been.
Zack that over the railing catch was awesome
I wish to someday soon have that same drive you have. Continue to do what you do. I'm working on it
Really enjoying your videos Zack! Love your enthusiasm and it defo helped me get into baseball. I went to the London series in July and loved it, it got me hooked. I ended up going to 5 games at Wrigley in August and it got me hooked even more! I’m having a bit of a tough time at the moment so keep the videos coming 😁
Paul Blackburn played little league with my cousin, years ago. He's also from the same hometown as me. It cool seeing him pitch locally.
Great catch in the third deck Zack, we worked A's home games this season we remember this game Filipino Heritage night and you and Dustin Hughes playing catch does it get any better than that? Oh yes your own suite.
LAS VEGAS A’s ♦️♣️♥️♠️. 🔥. Bring it baby!
4:14 was ready to risk it all for you lol
Sadly, the decline of the Coliseum has mirrored the decline of the city of Oakland.
The decline of Oakland? What has happened in Oakland has happened in all cities in the United States. Oakland is doing ok.
As are all major liberal cities
Sorry, but no sane person could ever say that Oakland is doing OK!! Oakland is a shithole, primarily because of the communist scum the people of Oakland have been electing for the last several decades! @@EliseMarie
making everything political and divisive is ruining out country. ppl want the same things.
Oakland residents average $90k salary….don’t worry about me in Qakland 😂
I sat in one of those in 2003. It was actually a great place to watch the game
love you doing this i started last year you are so good
i like the video very much Zack keep up the good work
So many great moments in this stadium. Go Raiders. Time to enjoy this old ball park while we still can. P.S Pink Floyd at the start of video was awesome.
that's what I'm saying, didn't expect to hear pink floyd lol
Have a Cigar!
I was at this game! Fillipino heritage night. Fun game. Glad you enjoyed your time here. Sell the team!!! We’ll keep fighting.
Should have played "Wildfire" 70s music in the background at the beginning😂 kid getting the ball: priceless.
Hey Zack, I attended those As/Ms games in Tokyo in 2012. AND I also spotted you at Ichiro's final game featuring the As/Ms again at Tokyo Dome in 2019.
At Yankee Stadium you enter a suite like that... you'd be tackled and banned..😂😂 you know I'm not lying.
how to find out if someone is a yankee fan? they’ll tell you immediately
@@gretz5792that person never said he was a Yankees fan, just an observation about security at that stadium. I can tell you that even with a media credential Yankees Stadium security will hassle you if you don’t follow their rules to the letter.
You wouldn't ever get near it and probably be locked anyway
@@robertmiller2104that's because Yankee stadium is gay
I saw you on TV for the first two night games and I was in 215 for the day game and got to see you there. I wanted to say you were definitely the reason they took the shacks out, I went there the week after your video and there were crowds up there, and within a few weeks the shack was gone.
Well, you don’t have to worry about it. They’re on their way to Vegas. Be careful what you wish for. Thanks for the video.
When the Coliseum is said and done, this video will be the perfect time capsule to memorialize it.
When I was a kid we use to run around at the tip top of center field.. was so high up.. at least in memory.
50 years ago the Oakland A’s were about to win their second of three straight World Series. How sad things have gotten in Oakland .
Runner was safe! Great video!
I remember the first time I saw the inside of a major league ballpark. It was old Cleveland stadium but to me it was beautiful. The perfect green grass,crisp white lines showing foul territories & the smells. Hot dogs,peanuts & cigars,& people were actually civilized too.
My first game when I was a child was during the 1964 World Series, Cardinals vs Yankees at Sportsman Park... My father recalled a earlier World Series at Sportsman Park with the Cardinals vs his Browns... All seven games... Funny how the Cardinals and Browns played in the same stadium for years and years without wearing out the grass, but teams don't do so today...
Hey zack a couple years ago me and my friend went to an a's game and all the suites were open on the top level. We eventually went inside and it was very cool
I remember seeing games in those suites back in 2002 during The Streak. My girlfriiends Dads company had one and they were hella nice. It hurts my heart seeing what Fischer did to the A's...
The way Zack holds onto the netting at 2:15 it's like he's flirting with his boyfriend
The suite had all the charm of an intensive care unit.
That was really cool of you to give the Soderstrom ball to that guy to give to his daughter.
Zack Hample you're my hero!
100 with style and ease!
Great dude, that Dustin fella…👏🏻
⚾️⚾️⚾️
Sweet suite…
Another record setting foul ball day maybe? We shall see…🤔
No records but many fun moments.
Awesome Video Zack!
Thanks for watching.
Before those " suites " they were just regular seats, back in the 1970's they were a great place to sit at the Day on the Green, all the biggest Rock and Roll bands made regular stops there, during that decade.
Love this guy
The catcher definitely only wanted to give you one ball😂
As a diehard Chicago Cubs fan, this is very sad and depressing about the Oakland Colisieum. So much history in that ballpark. The city of Oakland is in a state of emergency.
@00:39 “It smells like crap out here.” (pulls out sock)
I literally grew up there. Moved to AZ 7 years ago. I'm so sad I'll never see another game at that fantastic ballpark 😢 I always tell tell people when that talk crap about the Coliseum, if you're not from Oakland, you wouldn't understand.
zack we thaqnks,for gicing us some intertainment!
It’s crazy how U had to fight dozens of people lol😂😂. I feel bad for the As
Zack reminds me of Ben Wrightman. I hope you get/got your Lindsey Meeks. 😉
6,000 plus is a big crowd for Oakland.
They need you in the field 😂
Great video!
Good stuff mrZack☺️
Good stuff!
