It was a traffic nightmare this weekend in Oakland . The A's game at the Coliseum and Monster Jam at the Arena had overlapping start times. And with huge attendance at both, some fans spent up to 6 hours trying to get in. Some frustrated fans missed the events entirely."What should have been an hour and a half drive ended up being into a six-hour debacle in traffic," says Carrie Lowery, an A's fan who lives near Modesto.
Officials say they knew the dueling events would be an issue and tried to warn fans through social media posts. They say no refunds are being offered."My sister-in-law was watching actually on TV and she goes, 'There's nobody in the stadium.' I said because we're all out here in traffic!" says Lowery.Lowery is now out $600 for tickets and parking, but it's hard to put a price on her frustration."I've never seen anything like it.
