In Game
The Oakland Coliseum is home to the Oakland Athletics and is the second smallest MLB stadium by capacity, but that doesn’t stop fans of the Oakland A’s from bringing a lot of heart to the Coliseum. The fans truly are what makes attending an A’s game a special experience. Win or lose, and lately it’s mostly been losing for the A’s these past couple seasons, Oakland fans come out and support their team. If you’re looking to experience a baseball game in a venue where the fans really make a difference, then an A’s game at the Coliseum is the place for you.
Things to check out
West Side Club
Located on the second level of O.co field, the West Side Club is easily the best food option inside the stadium with lobster rolls, bread pudding, and other items that are better than the typical vendor.
Retired Numbers
Sitting atop a tarp covering the third outfield deck are massive jerseys painted to honor A’s legends such as Reggie Jackson and Catfish Hunter. Take a minute to remember your favorite A’s of the past by checking out the A’s retired numbers.
Stomper Fun Zone
Named after the Oakland Athletics mascot, the Stomper Fun Zone is an interactive area for kids filled with games like speed pitch, a batting cage, and coin operated rides.

Bernie Lean
Made popular after the 2012 playoffs, Oakland fans do the Bernie Lean to celebrate when the A’s make big plays. Join in on the dance to show off your A’s pride.
Watch video
Banjo Man
The A’s superfan can be spotted playing his banjo at ever A’s game. Keep your eyes open for Banjo Man as you wouldn’t want to miss him when attending an A’s game.

Stomper
The A’s mascot Stomper is beloved by Oakland fans young and old. Stomper gets into all kinds of shenanigans at games and is a fun part of any A’s game, so don’t miss him during your trip to the Coliseum.

Section 149
Section 149 is filled with die-hard Oakland Athletics fans that have been loyal to the green and gold for generations. They’re a rowdy, lively bunch and are almost as entertaining as the actual game itself. Some of the shenanigans include Bacon Tuesdays, which started after Kansas City Royals Jeff Francoeur threw a ball wrapped in $100 into section 149 and told the fans to buy beer or bacon. The fans continue with this tradition, and this section in the right field proudly cheers on the A’s regardless of the outcome of the game.

2 Legit 2 Quit
If you happen to catch a game on turn-back-the-clock nights, you’ll hear MC Hammer’s 2 Legit 2 Quit, as he was an Oakland A’s bat boy as a kid.
Sweat running all over my chest
I don’t quit no!
I just press harder
Than I ever did before going for
The dreams that I have in store
In my mind (mind) and I know
That I’m makin it I gotta
Get mine and nobody’s takin it away
(No!) cause Hammer don’t play that
You try to get mine
Boy you better step back freeze (freeze) cause
You don’t want none I hustle
For my muscle and you look
Weak son (real weak) yea!…
I’m goin for all that I can get
Kickin at the top cause I’m too legit to quit…sing!..[Hook]
Too legit… Too legit to quit
(Hey…hey…)
Too legit, too legit to quit..When I feel high post don’t
You play me close a dig ’em smack
A get you back and i’ll
Hit with a dose of Oaktown power
And charge you by the hour
I’m shakin like a quake and funks
Get devoured I choose to abuse, misuse and confuse
Competitors who think
They’re makin up all the rules, fools
In the game lame and insane
It’s a shame I gotta do this but
I remain the same unchanged
Gettin better never known
As a sweater kickin it at the
Top cause I got myself together
So roll with a guy who’s
Physical and fit knows the time
And too legit to quit…sang![Hook]
Step to the rhythm of a
Sho-nuff winner (winner) I been
Here before (yo!) I ain’t no
Beginner (word) but I been new
Tried and true survival of the fittest
Yo!..it brought me through
My crew (talk) we’re ready to
Strike trained for the mission
So believe the hype and sweat it
Cause you’re gonna
Regret it the day that you dissed us
You’ll wish you never met us
You remind me of a real short
Story one hit record and you
Star to bore me get ready
Cause this is it your crew is
Through and we too legit to quit…sang!..[Hook]
My people we don’t know defeat
We crush the strong and
Percolate the weak daily
(Everyday) we make our moves to
Improve our groove because we love to rule where we
Lay yo!..(Yo!) work and play
We started at the bottom and
Now we’re leading the way and yea!
I’m havin a fit kickin it
At the top because I’m too legit to quit – sing! -
