Ballpark:
The Coliseum (O.co Coliseum)

The stadium made its debut in baseball in 1968. It was built circular, with three decks and no roof. This very plain and drab stadium underwent a $120 million renovation in 1995 that added 22,000 new seats, 90 luxury suites, two private clubs and two state-of-the-art scoreboards. The first crowd filled the stadium on Sept. 8, 1966, when the AFL's Raiders played the Kansas City Chiefs. The A's, who had moved from Kansas City, followed suit on April 17, 1968.
