Anyone else watching after both teams left? I went to the last A's home game the other day, and it was so emotional (even being there as a Rangers fan)
@@treymagathan847 you further prove hockey fans are not as intelligent as they "claim to be". Do you really think hockey is going to survive in LV in the long run? Yeah they're getting support now because they've been good but the real test will be when the lean times come. Every team goes through them at some point and when the Golden Knights hit theirs, you watch how fast support drops. LV is a sun belt market and a shakey one at that. The Raiders will be here for the long haul, likely they're in Vegas for good. The GK, they'll move at some point down the road. It may not be in the foreseeable future but at some point in time they'll be gone.
we started about 10pm saturday night and had the bleachers in and football ready by 4pm sunday afternoon So next time you go to a game there Union Stagehands local 107 Biggie Crane iron workers and Clay Woods grounds keeping crew all work very well together ... were always rady!!
So sick, I love to see the process of how this is done.....and as far as ppl saying "they need a new stadium", I don't think they do, it adds so much charm and character to the place .... this is the last one left unless I'm mistaken, as far as football and baseball sharing the same place, and to me, that's pretty fucking cool
The Astrodome in Houston did something similar from Astros to Oilers field! But the stands were on a track system, making the transition easier. Cool video tho ;)
Not really. The Oakland Coliseum is more like the old Atlanta Stadium, with the gridiron running from third base to first base. The other cookie-cutters were different: In Washington, New York, Houston, Cincinnati, St. Louis and Pittsburgh, the box seats on the third base and first base line swiveled, and the gridiron ran from home plate to the outfield.
+ian setzer lol. st. louis' front 7 and its offense will make the rams a very tough team to beat next season. Not surprised i heard that ignorance from a "12"
Exactly. It's funny how 49ers and Cowboys fans always talk about how great their stadiums are. What's really funny is the owners used fan's tax dollars to pay for the stadiums! Ha!
The Oakland Coliseum CAN be given an EXTENSIVE renovation big time just like Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, the home of the Dolphins, I'm not a big Raiders fan, but to me, the Raiders belong in OAKLAND CALIFORNIA, NOT in Las Vegas Nevada
@@saints093 your 1,000 percent right Kevin Rose? even though you mentioned your not a big Raiders fan are you a Raiders fan at all like 2nd or third favorite team?
From 1971 to 1976 Oakland was the home of an NHL, NBA, MLB and NFL team....and they won world titles in 3 of those 4 sports during that span (5 championships total in that span). Amazing that it all fell apart and now Oakland has no pro sports.
@DashBroncos... If the Raiders and their 3 Super Bowls are so worth it, don't you think they deserve there own stadium? I'm curious what the cost is to convert the stadium back and forth and for how long they've been doing it. Wonder if the total cost added up anywhere near the price of a new stadium. What's the condition of the stadium like? Great job done by all of those involved, this video shows impressive team work.
They should do a conversion video of Rogers Centre from Blue Jays baseball to Argonauts Canadian football or vice versa before the Argos move out for good.
Did they not bother selling the nosebleed seats on the opposite side in later years? Those seats start off covered by A's tarp, they take it down and replace it with Raiders tarp.
The thing is...this coliseum is famous and has a lot of history here with the A's and the Raiders. However, they play at the same time for the most of the year, so that's allot of work converting the field. Respecg
I wonder why when they built Mt Davis in 1995 - why didn’t they just make the seats retractable? So monotonous using cranes to Move every little section in place.
Why are they just covering up the seats in the top (center outfield) instead of selling them? I feel like the A's could at least sell them out being in the Postseason and all, seems like a waste.
I see two reasons actually (Note I am speaking from the perspective of never been there before): 1) Bad viewing angle for football (Unlikely) 2) Blackout rules. This seems more likely. If they can't sell all the seats, the Raiders lose out on advertising revenue. Blocking those seats helps sell out this securing the revenue.
If you look closely, you can see the crane removing the murder victims of gang violence and burying them under the bleachers. Just a regular day in Oakland.
Raiders are unique. The Coliseum goes perfect with the raiders. We shouldn't care about the stadium its all about the team. I love the old nasty Coliseum
when you see the distance in yards it really makes those 3rd to 1st throws even more impressive
dam u right
A 40 yard throw is crazy
@SanFranGiantsFan time flies like this video
Anyone else watching after both teams left? I went to the last A's home game the other day, and it was so emotional (even being there as a Rangers fan)
crazy
Same
As a Tigers fan, its sad to see the As go. Coming to Vegas in 2028. 4 YEARS LEFT WTF
It's cool how the seats are shaped so they can be taken apart and rearranged in a different spot and still fit together nicely.
the engineering behind this is awesome. To be able to take seats from one section and place them in another section perfectly is pretty cool.
It's pretty impressive they did the whole thing in 2 minutes!
White people
@@107-n4t she’s joking
@@animasters9434 some peopel on the internet man, smh
@@animasters9434Oh my god who didn't know that wasn't a joke
This has to be historic! I can’t believe both teams left this magical place.
Once the MLB season is over in October, the Oakland Raiders used to grow grass over the dirt.
Crazy how nature do dat
white horse i know right
cant do it anymore, all teams have moved
Enjoyed this video, thumbs up. Cheers from sunny Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.
That looks so bad with the random dirt in the middle. Thank goodness all of these are defunct.
Crazy to see. No one plays here anymore.
This might be a dumpster, but it's our dumpster! Go Oakland!
A dumpster with gold inside how I see it lol
Pirate
Not anymore. Enjoy being 2nd Fiddle to the Golden Knights, idiots!
@@treymagathan847 haha haha fuck off..
"second fiddle to the Golden knights" Pffft..
Have a look at the big 4 leagues and revenue. 😂

It's like one giant lego set.
Soon to be Las Vegas Raiders. It was nice seeing events over the years at Coliseum in Oakland
And now in 2023, soon to be Las Vegas Athletics.
@@boxingandbulldogs6341 yep
followed by john fishers As
…and of course this video would be recommended to me after the Athletics played their last home game…
Thank you, algorithm. 😏
I'm gonna miss this place . sure the new modern stadiums have all the lights and shit , but this is truly a battle ground .
last ever As game was 9/26/24
Sad to watch 11 years later
Glad they made a video on this!!!!
now oakland has zero teams over a 5 year span, RIP oakland sports
RIP

damn the workers working all night and most of the day thats crazy

There's different shifts, it's not like the guys that started after the A's game are the same guys that got the Raiders game started.
Pay is great though
Either be efficient, or be taxed more for a new stadium. Either way the process from mlb to NFL is pretty amazing
And then there were none…
So sick, I love to see the process of how this is done.....and as far as ppl saying "they need a new stadium", I don't think they do, it adds so much charm and character to the place .... this is the last one left unless I'm mistaken, as far as football and baseball sharing the same place, and to me, that's pretty fucking cool
Well, this aged pretty well...
Thanks for sharing.
Glad its back to the good old days, used for two sports with that iconic dirt area poking out of the baseball field
wow. this is amazing!

Yep time to bring them to LA ( the Raiders)
:)
Raider Carlito You guys deserve the rams more than the raiders.
ian setzer No St. Louis deserves a team more than Oakland.
natte Rich They haven't supported the team though, There the only team in the nfl without a 90% capacity rating for a season.
+ian setzer lol. st. louis' front 7 and its offense will make the rams a very tough team to beat next season. Not surprised i heard that ignorance from a "12"
This is one kickass ballpark. The Raiders and A's should stay in Oakland.
Fans from other teams don't understand the coliseum. We don't need high tech bells and whistles to play a game. We just need a coliseum
Exactly. It's funny how 49ers and Cowboys fans always talk about how great their stadiums are. What's really funny is the owners used fan's tax dollars to pay for the stadiums! Ha!

That's alot of work, damn.
Very cool to see how fast they did that . Go Raiders . Go A's
They are looking at a spot in Concord for the new Raider Coliseum.
Bye Raiders and bye Athletics 😔😔😔😔😔
The tarps in Mt.Davis where up, but the tarps in the 3rd deck were off.
They should do a conversion video of Rogers Centre from Blue Jays baseball to Argonauts Canadian football or vice versa before the Argos move out for good.
wail chic ; armour half to shoot the seat(s)
ALL flooring graph(s) yarn are not applicable in aesthetic form and duration CORRECT
Why isn't the baseball dirt covered with grass?
Did they not bother selling the nosebleed seats on the opposite side in later years? Those seats start off covered by A's tarp, they take it down and replace it with Raiders tarp.

Why dont they change the field surface
Awesome!
Damn, I always thought the outfield seats just pulled down
Me too jijijiji
I thought I was the only one
I wonder why when they built Mt Davis in 1995 - why didn’t they just make the seats retractable? So monotonous using cranes to
Move every little section in place.
Fascinating
so how come fans cant sit at the seats where the Raiders logo is at?
How does those peoples move so fastly
Jia chen, Sometimes the buffalo bills play in the Toronto Blue Jays stadium.
But i still love the Coliseum.
What about the diamond
Coaster FanBoy it stays there until baseball season is over then the get rid of it
skybox seat(s) did that ✔️✅ he retired
I couldn't tell; are they removing the grass for the crane path, or are they putting down tarps?
+ShreddNugent probably tarps, removing and replacing grass would be expensive
How does it work having the pitching mound on the field of play for football?
as long as they have a stadium that works and they can play football on then it dose not matter how it looks
Both teams are gone now
joining your conference seriously upset nobody
i did not realize they were working through the night until i saw the sun come up.
Why are they just covering up the seats in the top (center outfield) instead of selling them? I feel like the A's could at least sell them out being in the Postseason and all, seems like a waste.
That's hood! Do the even have to share nut cups too? I have heard that tailgating there looks like a low budget rap video.
Stupid ass
So what's going to happen to the stadium is it getting demolished? 😢Go Raiders !!!! Even though i don't live in cali forever a Raider fan 💯
The A's play there. It won't be demolished🤦🏽♂️
@@biggchewy1212 not for much longer they won’t be
Idk how I thought it was converted, but rearranging seats is not how I pictured it
Do they paint the seats
they actually left the MLB Postseason logo on the field?
i cant imagine the NFL was very happy about that
They covered it up with the sideline tarps though.
Is this the east-west or north-south option?
Let's hope they have to do it at least once more for the LCS. Go A's!
1:05 wow the sun rose in a hurry

2) Blackout rules. This seems more likely. If they can't sell all the seats, the Raiders lose out on advertising revenue. Blocking those seats helps sell out this securing the revenue.
That's amazing but damn that looks like alot of work lol
Wouldnt it hurt to get tackled of the dirt?
Why do they refuse to sell those bleacher seats in the outfield? Do the Raiders really not draw a big enough crowd?
Ah, makes sense now!
That just shows you how far the throw from 3rd to 1st is
If you look closely, you can see the crane removing the murder victims of gang violence and burying them under the bleachers. Just a regular day in Oakland.
How long does this take
Huh, figured they'd have gone from home plate to center field given they only need 360 feet, and center is usually 400 feet away...
That is neat. I never saw a stadium in New York do that.
Yankee stadium has done it like this before but they cover the main baseball field
lol all versions of Yankee Stadium, Shea Stadium, the Polo Grounds. please be for real
Who the hell comes up with stuff like this?! Yall insane
Aren't the Raiders moving to LA Stadium?
+Blake Wel will see, most likely they will stay in Oakland.
+JadensBro hope they move tho. go broncos
+Blake NOPE FUCK LA
***** Because you know, the Rams were so legendary before they moved to St Louis.
Im so happy we are getting the fuck outta there
A great job of multi purposing .... why waste money on 2 different facilities ??
I watched the game last night and the tarps were up there...
Took one day for that but took a week to build our shed
the tarps are off for the postseason
Raiders are unique. The Coliseum goes perfect with the raiders. We shouldn't care about the stadium its all about the team. I love the old nasty Coliseum
is Raiders actually going to Las Vegas?
oracleast
That's crazy. Now let me ask...are the Raiders really worth all of that? I'm just saying.
You couldn't pay me enough, that seems like a major pain in the ass
imagine how much resources just to convert the field. ddaammn!!
Call me crazy - but I miss the multipurpose stadiums
It may be an ugly stadium but there sure are alot of great memories there both football and baseball
George Blanda, Catfish Hunter, Ken Stabler, Reggie Jackson, Daryl Lamonica, Vidaa Blue, etc. :-)
Nice not having stupid background music.
They can move bleachers and such but can't cover up the diamond somehow.
Its still RAIDERS!!
I was at the broncos raiders game mnf couple weeks ago our stadium n fans are way better
It should only be a football stadium or get increased seating in the front. Too much foul territory.
Yea the Athletics need a new field.
Why they do dis
