Oakland Coliseum

I'm heading to California this week to check out the Cardinals vs. A's series in Oakland (staying in San Fran though).
Trying to knock this stadium off my list of parks before they move out of this shite hole.
Any cool things to do or see at the Coliseum or around the area? I've heard it's kind of in a shitty area (like Turner Field) and there isn't much around but tailgating, but figured I'd come here and see what the MSB has to say.

Grew up going to A's and Warrior games all the time. When my dad was the head pro at a club in the Bay area, a member was director of security, so we always went.
Take Bart to the game, walk over the ramp. Attend game, take Bart away. Best advice I can give. The only decent thing in Oakland is jack London square, and even that isn't very good

Sweet appreciate it. Anything in specific in the coliseum that is cool? I know it may sound dumb, but I'm actually excited to see a game there. I've only been to "modern" parks I guess, so I'm interested to see a game here.
I've also heard the fans that go to the games (Saturday is Coco Crisp bobblehead day so I assume it'll be packed) are fricking awesome. So I'm excited.
Also any San Fran suggestions, or bay area in general?

If you want to do things in the East Bay before the game, you can check out Berkeley, which is also accessible from BART. You don't want to hang out around the Oakland Coliseum.

A's fans that go are awesome, it's a good environment for not a huge turnout.
And there are a ton of things to do, it just depends on more of what you're looking to do. Pier 39, Sausalito, 17 mile drive in Monterey, Fishermans Wharf, Lombard are all touristy things that are fun

Uh, Pebble Beach is 2.5 hours away.
Btw, you can't play Pebble anymore unless ha.ve a booked room at the pricey lodge for at least one night. So $500 for the room and $450 for the round...comes to a clean $1000 with tip to play Pebble.
$1000 a round - is that the most expensive in the nation?

It's under 2 hours from San Francisco. And you can still play, you just sign up with the starter, and if there is an opening, they'll pair you up with someone

No need to hate on you for wanting to see the coliseum. I am the same way. Sometimes it's nice for a blue collar atmosphere. Hell, one of my best experiences was at the Kingdome in Seattle.

Exactly. I feel like it'll be almost nice to watch a game for the game, and not all the quirky shite that some of the new stadiums have.

Dude, I fricking live here.
Nobody is getting there on congested 101 or Hwy 1 in under 2 hours.

As has been said. Just go to the game then leave that area. Nothing happening there. Anytime I go there I'm normally sporting their opponents colors (Angels or Saints) so I am sure your experience will be more calm than mine.
