OAKLAND, Calif. -- Everybody said goodbye to Oakland Athletics baseball in their own way Thursday afternoon.
After 57 seasons at the Coliseum -- and decades of indecision and vitriol swirling around the team's future -- the A's played their final game in Oakland in front of a massive crowd on a bright and gorgeous Bay Area afternoon.
The crowd was raucous, the mood festive and the fans engaged from the first pitch. The afternoon started early. The parking lot, scheduled to open at 8 a.m. -- more than 4½ hours before first pitch -- instead opened at 7 a.m. after the line of cars waiting to get into the stadium backed up traffic on I-880.

The fans gathered in the lots to cook breakfast, drink beer and alternate chants of "Sell The Team" and "Let's Go Oakland." A man who has made a side hustle of impersonating A's president Dave Kaval roamed the parking lot in a suit and tie, never breaking character. Fans, if they chose, could have purchased a margarita or psychedelic mushrooms from the small-business popups on the pedestrian bridge connecting BART to the Coliseum.
"People who have never been here will look at this scene and be surprised," said longtime A's fan Jorge Leon, the president of the Oakland 68s, a community-based fan group. "To those of us who have been coming here since we were kids, this is just what it's always been before everybody got tired of being lied to."

I'm upset at the Giants for not taking a stance and voting no on relocation after releasing a statement expressing regret that the team was leaving which was very hypocritical. The worst part was taking the city of Oakland's leverage in negotiations away and putting them at a disadvantage to keep them for at least 3-4 more years by arranging for the A's and Fisher to play in Sac at Sutter Health Park for FREE. And throw in Manfred's "one time only" free relocation voucher & you get a day like yesterday 💔
I believe and looked it up to make sure the giants and bob Melvin both released statements saying they were disappointed in the A’s leaving and the situation..many point to the giants claiming territorial rights while the A’s were trying tho move ..and that’s true although I think any team may have done that..and the Fremont deal was dead before it even started from what I’ve read..there’s really only two people to blame the MLB itself and fisher..and of course the other owners and the owners of the kings
Don't blame the Giants, blame former commissioner Dud, oops, Mud, oops, Fudd, oops, Crud,,oops, Bud Selig. Commissioner Crud forced in Fisher as the owner because Fisher's junior partner Lew Wolff was commissioner Crud's buddy. The Giants were following commissioner Crud's orders
@@michaelbaucom4019 I blame them also.
@@smokey5100 nope. They were doing commissioner Crud's bidding
I guess having this whole region for just one team was too big of a piece slice for them to turn down, honor or not. Walter Haas was a true gentleman owner who put principles and fans ahead of the bottom line and did the Giants a solid when they needed it. One of the best owners ever!
I want Brodie Brazil to be the president of the next Oakland professional baseball team! Run it back Bay Area!!
The attendance yesterday proves the fans are HERE. We EXIST in this healthy passionate market. People tried to point out the poor attendance previously instead if asking WHY that was & holding ownership accountable instead of blaming these awesome fans.
Where have the fans been for the last 10 years?
@@Robb912 Coming out of the Covid pandemic trying to survive in one of the most expensive regions in the country. Loving our A's but watching them flirt with parallel paths to Vegas, let the Coliseum rot, jack up ticket prices, not re-sign ANY fan favorite players. We can't put money in a shady billionaires pocket who is going to use it to build the stadium that WE WERE PROMISED in Vegas! You don't reward bad ownership just like you wouldn't eat at your favorite restaurant after the chef looks you in the eye and spits in your food. Then does anybody ask you why you didn't sit down at the table and eat that very same meal? I didn't think so
@@Robb912 10-20 years they where not found... but oh the Last home game ever, hot tickets part of something that's ending... but i'm sorry Fans don't care..
This whole experience has turned me off the MLB alltogether, I am looking forward to a few Cal Baseball games this spring, but for the most part, without the A's as the hometown team, the light of baseball has gone out of my life. I look forward to returning to the coliseum for Pro Rugby! MLR expansion?
Oakland lost 3 teams !!! Raiders , Warriors, A’s …. Should not have happened. Something is wrong .
They lost 4 teams. The California Seals NHL.
Warriors always wanted SF
I'm Oakland before anything Mark got an offer he couldn't refuse in Vegas (750 MILLION public money) after being pushed out by Fisher and the A's.
A's advertised rooted in Oakland and talked as if it were a fact they were getting a stadium.
I personally work right by candlestick at certain parts of the year and that whole area is really bad…
I respectfully say this and I put no blame on the fan, but. In the 2000s and 2010s nobody was there unless they were competitive which I find bs.
You can say the coliseum was trash players weren’t sticking around and whatever but still what’s with the wave of fans that show up when they’re good and now when they’re leaving.
Just look at candlestick park even when the Niners were trash and it was still packed.
So no I don’t blame the fans absolutely not. But I can’t say I feel sympathy for everyone that shouts for green and gold.
To be fair a massive reason why they never redeveloped Hunters Point in SF is because the land is literally cancerous from nuclear testing during WWII
Brodie, gonna miss you from watching A's and Sharks games. For so long it was awesome to watch you and the passion you brought. I wish you the best on your next step and will continue to watch and support your channel here on UA-cam
Smooth move Brodie. Insisting you live long enough to see the Oakland Coliseum and Howard Terminal sites developed would require you live 150 years. I’m actually all for that. It would be at least one positive thing to come from this giant pile of manure.
Hey Brodie.
I actually found your channel from some NHL story before even hearing about your Oakland/A's ties. I stayed because of how insightful, informative, and down to earth the whole presentation of this channel was, along with looking super professional which in this case is the true icing on the cake instead of needing to be the main draw. I've been hooked on your content since.
It was REALLY cool to see you start uploading videos from the beginning of your A's coverage. That was the PRIME time for me as a baseball fan as a kid. Those videos really do mean a lot to me as well and bring me right back to that era of MLB.
One
Then to see your ties to the actual broadcast of these teams just made it even cooler. You didn't need to flaunt any of that, it was just something else cool that you did. It hurt to hear that you were so deeply connected to this whole experience. Thank you for being so open and candid through the whole experience, and really allowing us to share a human moment together as baseball fans, and Oakland fans. It hurts me to see those kids who will never be able to go to another Oakland Athletics game again. It hurts to see those uniquely diehard fans lose something that's more than just a team. It's a reason to hope, a reason to smile, a reason to laugh, and yes-a reason to cry.
Thank you for being able to carry all sides of this experience at once and be able to share the completely warranted frustration, with the love and appreciation for so many people. This is more than just the A's, and more than just Oakland. This was a truly wonderful moment for all of us to be able to get a sense of connection to what it means to be human and a community of people who all want the same thing.
Baseball means so much to so many people, me absolutely included. This really, really sucks for Oakland fans. There's no right way to go from here, but I hope that those fans are still able to enjoy the game that I love so much. I don't know who they should "root" for, when being forced to root for a team and an owner that snatched so much from you, but I hope there's still able to be those moments of happiness and bonding between fans, friends, and even random baseball nerds on youtube.
You're a good dude Brodie, and truly one hell of a media presence. Being able to feel all of that emotion and be able to properly share it like you did here is something that's just flat out not possible for a lot of people. You and Bip did great.
I really hope you're able to do whatever you want in this media sphere. I do LOVE this channel for the wide variety of topics covered in a really good and in depth manner, but I also wish you luck on any TV-based venture you may pursue. I know you'll kick ass at that too.
There’s a clip on Tom Hanks talking about the last game. “I’ll be shedding a bit of a tear”. From the man who gave us “there’s no crying in baseball”
Ill never forgive the city of remont for allowing the A's to build a stadium there. no joke fremont council voted against it citing the field mouse population in the fields which are now built upon and those buildings are all warehouses and office buildings.
Why didn’t Tom Hanks step in and save the A’s !!!
Because Fisher refuses to sell, and Manfraud won't step in
Bro was cooking with the youth sports comment
Amen. Especially Oakland. So many amazing players came from the Oakland community, and the A's did virtually nothing for the area during their time there. All they care about is getting the shiny new stadium for their team. Maybe if they had built some community goodwill, they would have had less resistance in their efforts.
New team the Stockton Ports.
20 years.......... and NO ONE SHOWED up..... stop this. With New Markets that prove to have more Money. Salt Lake, Portland , Vegas, Nasville, and a few other locations that are Hotter Markets.... Oakland is dead... No owner would be smart to open a new team there after losing 4 pro teams.... just shows you something is wrong with the CITY....
I'll always be enamored by the success of the Oakland A's. I've suffered through my whole life being a Mariners fan wanting to see just a small slice of success the A's achieved.
They achieved real success through know how and grit; not just laying money down. Despite not spending, this year's team was still quite fun and talented. What a blessing to have a great fanbase to compliment the team.
I hope you get your team back Oakland.❤
It is sad they could not make it work in Oakland but neither the owner or city have much chance with the current economic model in MLB. The labor agreement make it too hard for smaller market teams to compete on a regular basis. NY Local TV Deal North of 100 million per year. A's Less then 50 million. Enough said. Until they share all the TV money equally among all the teams MLB is not going to be competitive for most small market teams. NFL shares all its money equally why a GB can be competitive. With that said Fisher could have built something on his own darn dime if he really wanted to stay.
I know that sports will still be played at the coliseum, but I think it would be great if the new owners made a statement by tearing down MT Davis. Get rid of that curse and bring back the view.
Have you ever considered creating your own west coast show kind of like Foul Territory? Where you bring in a few of your favorite people and put your own spin on today's sports?
U doing UA-cam full time
He's been putting up a lot of great content on all sorts of stuff. I actually found and followed him before I learned he covered Bay Area sports.
Why do their microphones sound like cell phones? They’re almost unlistenable. This AM radio??
How dare mlb take a baseball team away from us. I say dont watch any playoffs or world series.
It should say finley and larussa ruined two dynasties.
Where can we find a list of employees making the change to sac and the ones that aren’t ?
💚💛 Brodie for President 💚💛
Did it have to be a new stadium? They could have renovated the coliseum and built the extra infrastructure on the land for just a oart of the cost.
That assumes they wanted to stay in Oakland. Fisher and the MLB hate Oakland and everything in Oakland and all the efforts the past few years were just a charade.
If the MLB tries to relocate another team again soon, like the White Sox, then this league is absolutely fucked!
No team is safe. I say move any and all teams just for greed and profit.
These two clowns from the SF radio station have been bashing the A’s and its fans for YEARS…and to hear them feign sympathy in such an insincere way just trying to get listeners on a dying station…shameful…they act like before their new stadium the giants had these huge giant crowds…
I’ll miss listening to you speak A’s though Brodie 😢
There's a reason businesses bailed on Oakland, high crime, and 0 returns on investment.... so go ahead and keep on defunding the police in Detroit......eeeeerrrr Oakland
You don't have to stay ignorant. You can start to care if what you believe is true at some point, even if it means learning that people you think are cool are actually wrong. It's easy to shit on cities. It's easy to shit on people that care. It's not hard to dismiss what you're saying with even the basic amount of knowledge on either crime rates or the defund the police movement though, so I'll just feel bad that you felt the need to spread negativity for no reason than seemingly to get a reaction. That's kind of lame.
@robb912, you don't know what you're talking about. Do some research or shut your mouth.
Moron, the police were never defunded, get off the propaganda. Certain services were moved out of their hands like dealing with mental illness issues. The crime issue is in cities nation wide yet the Mariners, Dodgers, Cubs, Yankees, tigers and so on are not trying to pack up and leave.
@@jasonvoss6559 problem is we DO research.. but you will ALWAYS clam it as false becuase that's what Dems do.. if you are wrong you are Right NO matter What.. Oakland has been having vary bad Crime Rates (More Not reported due to City not wanting numbers to go higher) there's proof online about this.. its Bad in Oakland.... but stay blind.
Go easy on us Dodger fans, Brodie.😜 As a baseball fan, this whole move is not right.💚💛🤍
