🎟️Visitor Guide

Best Seats

The Right Field Bleachers offer the loudest, most authentic Oakland experience. Avoid high seats in the 300 level if you prefer to be close to the "foul territory" action.

Parking Tips

The BART (Coliseum Station) is the standard way to arrive, connected via a pedestrian bridge. Tailgating in the massive South lot is a legendary East Bay tradition.

Game Day

Listen for the drums in the bleachers—an Oakland staple since the 70s. Arrive early for a tailgate and grab a hot dog from the local street vendors on the BART bridge.
