Had a great look at the infield from here - could even see the warning track surrounding the outfield. We were behind home plate, in the shade and had the two jumbo trons on either side of us. The screens appeared to be rather small and far away on the upper levels, though. If you've ever seen a game at safeco Field in Seattle, you know what a JUMBO tron looks like. I hear Yankee Stadium's is also big too. There is so much about this place that needs to be upgraded but I think you'll at least enjoy these seats. All of the infield plaza sections behind home plate are just as good as the other in my opinion.

First of all, the best thing about this park is access via the BART. Of course, you can also access AT&T Park in San Fran just as easily and that park is ten times nicer than the Coliseum.
I don't blame the A's for wanting to leave, it's one of the older ballparks now and when the Raiders moved back, everything seemed to go down hill. It's boring, bland and not really baseball friendly - it's better suited for football. The outfield seats feel like a storage area for Raiders seating. I walked around the ballpark when I was there and there was absolutely no one in the walkways.

Still...don't let me discourage you from visiting because it's still fun to watch the A's and the rest of the American League on this field. Come and see the A's and create your own opinion about "The O".

To give you an idea what the view of the field is like from section 219, here is a Youtube video shot from there during an A's/Texas Rangers game at O.co Coliseum.
