Went to an A's/Mariners game and this was my first time sitting in 104; have pretty much sat all over O.co for both A's and Raiders games over the years and the upper deck is the only place where the view is unpleasant. The size of the seats are universal throughout the ballpark, leg space is good and the fans are great and are an extremely underrated fan base. Even though this section is pretty deep into right field, the seats are oriented towards the infield perfectly. But 104 is still a good ways away from home plate.
O.co Coliseum isn't the sexiest MLB ballpark of all time but it has pro baseball at it's finest. Just because there isn't a fish tank behind the back stop and a backdrop of downtown Oakland, baseball fans give this place a bad rap. The wide foul territories make it a pitcher's ballpark and calls for a strong defensive team and the A's always seem to have those things. There isn't much in the surrounding area of the ballpark you're there to watch a baseball game, not explore fine dining and party like Cubs fans in Wrigleyville.
To give you an idea what the view of the field is like from section 104, here is a Youtube video shot from row 12, seat 15, before an A's game on Opening Night 2011 at O.co Coliseum.
