Took my nieces and nephews, kids to the A’s game this summer.
1. Facility was great. Not top of the line, but not bad.
2. Families 425 - Ticket pricing for families. I bought 10 tix at the gate for $104 and it came with a $5 food voucher.
3. People - no vagrancy, well policed. (THIS IS OAKLAND!!)
4. Staff - helpful, gracious
5. The Treehouse - a low key place for people to come and enjoy the came PLUS watch other events, play ping pong, foosball, eat, etc. Entrance? Free. Free to hang out there. It was very, very nice.
And the A’s, with one of the lowest payrolls in baseball, is poised to visit the playoffs yet again.
My current favorite sports team, just above the Yankees.
The A’s are always fun to watch, and more often than not they have a winning record.
Gotta give them props too: they are working on a new ballpark that would be PRIVATELY financed.
