The Oakland Coliseum might have a reputation as one of the least-desirable venues in the big leagues, but with constant rumblings about the Athletics getting a new park in the near future, the Coliseum should be on the must-see list of any baseball traveler. There are several enormous parking lots around the stadium, which makes parking for any visiting fan fairly straightforward. On-site parking in Lot A, B, C and D costs $30. Tailgating is popular outside of the Coliseum, so it’s fun to get to the venue early to enjoy the sights, sounds and flavors before you enter for the game.
For fans who want to travel to the Coliseum on public transit, the Bay Area Rapid Transit system (BART) is a convenient option. You’ll want to take the train to the Coliseum Station, which is just a short walk across a pedestrian bridge from the park.
