A's fans, share your Coliseum memories and photos with KTVU at [email protected].
After 57 years, the A's will no longer be rooted in Oakland.The Oakland Athletics are playing their last home games at the Coliseum this week; the final hurrah is on Thursday before the team vacates The Town to play elsewhere.Die-hard A's fans have been vocal about their anger towards A's owner John Fisher, who backed out of staying in Oakland and instead chose to move the team to Las Vegas, with a stop in Sacramento before a new stadium is built.
My last visit to the Coliseum was the 2019 Wild Card game against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.I played hooky from classes to see my childhood team try to claw into the playoffs.That year was ultimately unfruitful, but the roar of the sold out crowd, the flurry of yellow fibers from the rally towels, and a community backing a storied team with a storied history is how I will forever remember Rickey Henderson Field.
