About Oakland Coliseum

Oakland Coliseum

The Oakland Coliseum stands as a multi-purpose stadium in the heart of Oakland, part of a larger sports complex that captures the city's rich athletic heritage. What makes this venue particularly special is its playing surface, named Rickey Henderson Field in 2017 to honor the legendary Hall of Famer who electrified fans as an Oakland Athletics outfielder. Visiting this stadium offers a chance to experience authentic Bay Area sports culture in a no-frills setting that has hosted countless memorable moments in baseball history.
