Summertime Baseball (this) Fan Favorite: Oakland A’s!

Oakland Athletics (did I mention they are my favorite team!?!)

$2.00 Tickets, $1.00 Hot Dogs presented by BART: At every Wednesday home game you can purchase Plaza Level, Plaza Outfield and Plaza Reserved tickets for only $2.00 and hot dogs throughout the park are only $1.00.

Fireworks night: Fireworks night at The Coliseum is so much fun especially on summer nights.

Next fireworks night is Friday, June 26th. Game time @ 7:05 p.m.
