The Raiders have 3 Super Bowls, how many do the Seahawks have? The Raiders won 5 games last year, while the Seahawks only won 4. Typical ignorant Seattle fan, stay off the drugs bro

[diehardoaklandfan510]

i hope youre having fun without a world series or an AL penant. in the words of that Mariners announcer guy Dav Neihaus "MY OH MY the mariners will never win a title"

[impassable]

Would The A's like a new park..For sure they would but that's no excuss for them to keep rebuilding. The yanks were winning WS in an older park than this..Go A's

Fuck Geoff Baker and fuck Seattle.  I love the A's and the Coliseum and wouldn't trade it for any park

This guy is a real hater. Yeah the Coliseum isn't anything near top notch but it is still a great place to WATCH A GAME. All these new stadiums are great places to go even if you don't want to watch the game.

By the way, did you notice that he didn't point out the flagpoles? That's because there are World Championship Pennants/Flags that fly from them. Something Seattle DOESN'T have. Wait...the Supersonics won a championship...but they're in OKLAHOMA now.

Go back to the rain hater!

why is the third level at the oakland colisuem closed off

[EeVvAaNn3]

Mariners won 85 games despite allowing 52 more runs than they scored (pythagorean W-L is 75-87). That's pretty lucky if you ask me

as much as people want to hate on the coliseum, i will be one sad a's fan when it's gone. at&t is cool to look at and everything, but who wants to have some wine-sipping weirdo behind you screaming for you to sit down anytime anything exciting happens. here's to hoping we can can at least preserve some semblance of the old girl's atmosphere, wherever we end up... so many great, strange nights in oaktown. PS. ups to al davis for ruining what was once a majestic place to see a baseball game.
