Oakland Coliseum (Oakland A's)

I have attended one game at this stadium. It is the last stadium that is a shared stadium with an NFL team as the Oakland Raiders play their tackle football games here as well. This makes it slightly less enjoyable because it doesn't have quite the same feel as other stadiums have. The field is much further away as you can see from the picture above with the crazy huge foul territory. Balls that would be 10-15 rows deep in the stands at other parks are caught quite easily here. I guess it can lead to some cool running catches by the infielders.

But even if the stadium is not as cool as other stadiums, an MLB game is an MLB game and I enjoyed my time at the ballpark. We went with my brother's family on a Wednesday for dollar dog night. The tickets were like $4.00 each which was great, but parking was like $20.00. There is something wrong when it costs more to park your vehicle than to watch a Major League Baseball game. We sat up high in the right field stands and had a great time even though there was nothing particularly memorable about this game.

But here is the box score: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/y2010/index.jsp?gid=2010_05_05_texmlb_oakmlb_1&mode=classic
