Oakland Coliseum
Oakland Athletics
Oakland Coliseum hosted the Athletics for 57 seasons, closing on September 26, 2024, as the A's departed for Sacramento while a new ballpark is built in Las Vegas. It was baseball's last multipurpose stadium, beloved for its enormous foul territory and the view of the Oakland hills before Mt. Davis was added in 1996.
