A lot of people say that Mount Davis ruined the Coliseum… but instead, because the stadium went without updates or modernization for several consecutive decades, it’s now especially beyond “fixing up” here in 2022.

Are baseball fans able to access mount Davis? I see you tubers at games roaming around the stadium but I never seen them in mount Davis
In my opinion the coliseum is beautiful but in an ugly way
Raiders to that question. /
I hope the A's can buy the stadium and make the following changes.
1. Remove MT davis. Replace with single deck and concourse with shade like Dodger stadium
2. Add Shade to the upper deck
3. Move homeplate back to reduce the amount of foul ball space.
4. Gut and modernize the lockers.
This stadium has good bones, concrete decks etc. The above changes would bring it back to its former glory while retaining A's history.
Folks the property owner is who you should blame for this deplorable facility,Almeda county runs this stadium on the cheap,that’s not okay, come on man
T20 world cup 2024 possible venue
If you can build that tower of doom called Mt. Davis, you can remodel the coliseum and modernize it. Is it expensive? Sure what isn't expensive in the bay area??? But I can guarantee whatever the projected costs of a new ballpark are near JLS, it will wind up costing more.
They A's like the city Oakland itself live in the shadow of SF. Giant's ballpark is on the water, our ballpark has to be on the water. Silly but it's true. 5-6 years after it opens it will be sold out.
First time the A's have a rebuild, attendance will drop. If crime in Oakland isn't addressed
attendance will drop. The shiny new object attention span is always short lived.
I love the A's – whatever they decide I wish them well!
Mt Davis was the start of what ruined the Coliseum.
Jesus is the only way into Heaven. Ask Him into your life, cleanse you from ALL unrighteousness. Make Him your Lord & your Savior. One day YOU will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Tropicana Field (1990) and Guaranteed Rate Field (1991) are also older than Oriole Park at Camden Yards (1992).
Been going there since the 70’s, the magic is gone, it’s a shithole, literally. A’s deserve better!
You hit the nail on the head on this. What it boils now to is if you put money into something and keeping it modern and up to date with amenities. The actual stadium can be open for damn near ever. I damn near ever. I mean as long as the foundation lets it stand. Wrigley Field and Fenway Park are two great examples of this. They keep it up to date. Are the Cubs had an issue with Wrigley Field but they were eventually able to get it up to date. They never gave a damn about the Colosseum and now here we are
Could the removal of MT Davis change the attendance? It would at least attract attention for the A’s again and give it a more ballpark feel. I’m sure it’s becoming too little too late but with these attendance numbers anything is worth trying
I Miss the ice plant and the view of the hills – the million dollar scoreboard!
The A’s should move to Las Vegas
Vaguely remember original coliseum . Nobody thought it was great before mt.davis & to an extent it’s over stated how it ruined the park for baseball. Still, it wasn’t good. Biggest problem is the ownership and fan apathy.
The worst part of the Coliseum is the city of Oakland- don't know their a** from a hole in the ground. The A's need to be SOLD if they're to be saved.
If they got rid of Mount Davis it would improve it a lot
What ruined the Oakland Coliseum? Oakland.
Al Davis did all of this just for some damn luxury boxes. Even moving them to LA to another old shitty stadium in a bad part of town as well.
The amenities that you can experience when going to an A's game are very unique like avoiding getting shot at or robbed on the way to the game!😁
It's actually a California thing. With the exception of the Rams move to St Louis, no city in California feared their teams would leave. The Clippers moved to LA but were ran just as poorly managed there. Other franchises in cities around the country threatened to move and got their improvements or new venues. If it wasn't for private money, all franchises of all sports in California would be playing in dilapidated stadiums and arenas.
I watched this video again. The biggest problem with the Coliseum is the total lack of interest in having Oakland want champion professional sports representing the city. I am a 4th generation East Bay native. Born in Oakland, graduate of Fremont High. Dedicated A's and Oaks fan. Former Raiders fan. But look at it seriously. Oakland doesn't want the A's. When the A's, Raiders and Warriors were winning championships, Oakland was on the map. It was looked up to. It was a nice city. It had a reputation. The Warriors moved back over to SF from where they came, the Raiders moved to Las Vegas where the city actually wanted them and the reputation a professional sports franchise will bring. Now the A's will move, probably to Las Vegas and bless them. And what about Oakland? Instead of being a city we all can be proud of, it will deteriorate into a dump. Will I be able to say that I am from Oakland with pride? Will others think that being from Oakland will cast me as being from the peasant class? Of course, the A's have done their part. They keep the lowest salary in baseball, trade away all their good players just as they are entering free agency. I used to be able to see who the A's would trade by looking at Cot's Contracts. They the A's do everything on the cheap and pocket their share of the equity fees that MLB collects from the teams that pick up all the A's talent. I went to a couple of A's spring training games this year and didn't recognize anyone. Even Bob Melvin left because he could see the deterioration of the organization. Who is Dave Kaval. From interviews, he sure doesn't look like someone who has an interest in developing a championship team. As for me, I moved out of California a few years ago. I'm now a citizen of another state and damn happy I made the move. Good luck Oakland, you're going to need it.
New White Sox park is number 8 ?
Probably by the fact that it's surrounded by a modern Urban Day Democratic plantation?
Another example of killing the golden goose. Idiocracy.
Can't wait for the A's to come home to Las Vegas!
6/23/2022 A's PLEASE MOVE TO LAS VEGAS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!! YOU WILL HAVE HUGE TICKET AND FOOD SALES!!! THE TOURISTS AND FAMILIES WILL HAVE SPORTS TO SEE INSTEAD OF 'SIN CITY'!!! OAKLAND ENDANGERED SPECIES NEED MORE PEACE AND QUIET TO SURVIVE. SEE THE VIDEO OF THE FATHER FROM RUSSIA GETTING RUN OVER BY THE BLACK INFINITI WITH DARKENED WINDOWS GOING ABOUT 80 MPH ON 14TH STREET IN OAKLAND AS HIS TWO YOUNG SONS WATCH. LAS VEGAS IS BECOMING MORE 'FAMILY FRIENDLY' AND SHOULD USE HIS DEATH AS A DAILY REMINDER TO BECOME MORE 'FAMILY FRIENDLY' SO THAT HE DID NOT DIE TO BE FORGOTTEN BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC, LIKE EVERY OTHER HIT A RUN EVERY DAY IN THE USA…
Who cares about the stadium! Just give me a good team and be in playoffs often and I'll attend more regularly.
The basic design of the coliseum will never get better. The foul territory keeps fans so far away from the action. Improvements won't change that
Back in 1968 my 8th grade class made a field trip to Sacramento and the Capitol. Inside there was a room with exhibits in miniature of all the counties and something about each county; one for Alameda was of the Arena and Coliseum. At that time, Oakland had poached the A's from Kansas City, was in the process of poaching the hockey Seals from San Francisco and Cow Palace, and had designs to do the same with the Warriors. The Coliseum is out of date, the Raiders have moved again, the A's thinking about it, the Warriors are back in San Francisco with Chase Center. It's like karma!
The Braves have had 3 stadiums in the same time frame lol
Oakland and Alameda County still seek to amase me. They're losing all of their teams. WTF?
i only team Worth keeping was the winning warriors … the raiders/ traitors and loser A’s ….good bye !
Mt Davis did ruin the park can't see the great view
What if??? What if the powers-that-be had simply vetoed Mt Davis and never built it to begin with??????????
can it be removed?
Go woke, Go broke.
Man dodger stadium smells piss what tf are you talking about man 😂
Rogers Center is FINALLY getting a facelift too.
