Historic MLB ballpark (1966–2024) in Oakland, CA.
Mount Davis defined the Oakland Coliseum experience the moment you walked in — a hulking upper deck that sealed off any view of the Oakland Hills and announced, unmistakably, that football had won an argument here. The tarped-off third deck made the bowl feel cavernous and intimate at once, crowd noise bouncing hard off concrete when the place actually filled. The Coliseum sat between two BART lines, so getting there without a car was easy, though the surrounding industrial stretch of East Oakland softened no one's expectations on arrival. Garlic fries were the standard, sold everywhere, the smell carrying through the lower deck all night. The fans who stayed through the lean years were loud and loyal in a way that felt earned rather than performed. The playing surface carried Rickey Henderson's name from 2017 forward. What's left now is a building awaiting its own next chapter, the A's long gone to Sacramento.
Former home of the Oakland Athletics; the team relocated to Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento as a temporary MLB home.
