Yup. It’s not in the video but there were people in my assigned seat. Another usher told me to sit wherever I want.

As someone who lives just a few blocks from the coliseum, I can honestly say that i used to really enjoy going to the games. They were cheap even when the team was doing good. I honestly believe that the coliseum just needs renovations. Get rid of mt davis so we can get a view of the hills. I'd would've loved it if they did that instead of spending so much money on another stadium and maybe reinvest some of that money they were planning on using to improve the roster. Id get really upset if the team moves to vegas and decided to spend more on improving the roster. Like, yall couldn't do that here?

Dude I live right over in Vallejo. The problem isn't the coliseum, it's the area surrounding it and Oakland as a whole. Hell the Bay Area as a whole. It sucks. People can't park anywhere without having their cars broken into, there's crazy homeless people everywhere doin drugs in the open and crapping in the streets, chances of getting mugged or assaulted are high, there's hardly any businesses left around the coliseum, and everything is just generally ugly to look at in Oakland these days. Baseball and football don't make or generate money for the teams or the cities of Oakland or San Francisco anymore, the whole area is a cesspool.

​@@AdamDoesNotExist Oakland should have priority the Raiders. Been there first since 1966...Warriors were in Philadelphia and the A's were in Kansas city...but unfortunately matriarchy ruled and they dont think they should help pay for stadium upgrades

A's fans might be the most abused fan base in modern sports history. Between Fisher running this franchise into the ground and Manfred facilitating the entire thing, we keep getting sucker punched at every turn. And up until recently, the fans were getting 90% if not all the blame for not showing up to games, when in reality we have to endure the firesale of our favorite players every year, then pay increased rates on everything from tickets to concessions and gear on top of it. Front office (Beane and Co.) were able to somewhat mask the problem for a few years with homegrown talent and trades but that only lasts so long when Fisher doesn't spend shit to keep any of it. Not to mention the passing of Fosse and firing of Kuipe recently, almost nothing remains of this once iconic team. Vegas basically is getting the new expansion team they wanted, because once they leave Oakland there will be nothing left of the A's identity (except probably the shitty spending).
