Making my first trip into enemy territory - going to watch the Mariners play the Giants at AT&T in an exhibition Sunday, and Opening Day in Oakland on Monday.

So I have really good tickets for both games. I'm super excited for Monday, we will be 20 rows behind the visitors dugout, I'll be sporting my authentic Felix Hernandez jersey, giving him a standing O during each trip back to the dugout after each inning. The only question is- do I need to be packing heat? How much beer will be thrown at me? I'm told Oakland Alameda Coliseum is in the ghetto....

Also, any one know of good sports bars in the area to watch the Final Four on Saturday? Or to hang out in before Monday's game?

That's a fuKKin understatement... That shit looks worse than the ghetto!

Don't worry about the A's Fans I grew up going
to A's games they are cool. They will talk
some shit to you in fun then by the 3rd
your best buds. Giants fans well good luck with
that most at ATT park don't know any thing
about baseball. Sweet park though

btw if it's a night
both parks are cold as shit.

ONCE YOU LEAVE THE OAC DO NOT GET
OUT OF YOUR CAR IN THAT PART OF OAKLAND!!!!!!!!!!!

In fact best way to go to A's games is
BART Train the ball park has it's own station.

Have fun

Ricky's Sportsbar is 15 minutes from Oakland Coliseum

Be careful with the standing O's with the jersey on...

Terrapin Station · 04-01-10, 07:42 PM

It's been getting damn-cold at night here, make sure to bring warm weather to the game. BART is definitely the best way to get to the Coliseum, parking is an absolute rip off there. The area surrounding the Coliseum isn't as bad as people make it out to be. No one will even care if you wear another jersey.

DON'T GET N2DEEP.

Exactly. People are all on the bandwagon about how shitty the Coliseum area is. The truth is, there is absolutely nothing there except the Bart on one side, and the highway on the other.

u might get your ass kicked for reppin the Mariners in Oakland but the pussies in SF wont say shit, A's games arre waay more fun even though the Giants park is nicer. Its cool that you will get to see both sides of the bay and u can seee them workin on the new bridge when your driving. Guessing your stayin in SF but hit up a hooters or hard rock and you might have fun watchin the game by the bar and make sure to check out Oaksterdam while your in the town. Not too far from the Coliseum, wish I were there this weekend Id hook u up with some of the Bay's finest purple, myou might be able to find some good herb at the A's game but just make sure to ask a whitee dude, dont buy herb off any black dude in Oakland if u wanna see ur money again. Have fun though and there are some nice bas right around pac bell park if you want to spend some time there also. Make sure to hit up the cities night clubs though. Ruby Sky is nice but check out who will be djing, have fun, peace!

yEAh, and if your surf, there's a begginer break called Mavericks. Check it out.

HUSALAH · 04-01-10, 08:04 PM

just a small paddle out too....

Stealinhome · 04-01-10, 08:38 PM

Ahh Mavericks Half Moon Bay is my home town. Can't wait to get back I am gonna spend a few weeks in bay area this summer . It will be my first A's game in 10 years

HUSALAH · 04-01-10, 08:43 PM

u havent missed much lol, Oakland is a good yankees farm squad but still love them and the Bay Area and wouldnt want to rest my head anywhere else...from Oak to Sf it is one of the best places in the world, always something to do from sports to clubs or even strip clubs, Baaaaay Areeeeeaaaaa!

vitalogist · 04-01-10, 08:45 PM

Cool, glad its not as bad as many say. We literally are going to BART it to the stadium, have some beers in brown paper bags outside the stadium, waiting for the gates to open, then jet back to the other side of the bay to find a spot to go get ripped at.

Just need to find a spot in San Fran to watch the Final Four games Saturday, now. Can't freaking wait, just need to hope there is no rain! That will piss me off!!!!
