Part 2/12:

On September 26, 2024, the Oakland Athletics played their last game at the Oakland Coliseum in front of nearly 47,000 fans. This farewell was bittersweet, marked by deep frustration toward the team's ownership, which many fans believe neglected their former home. The Coliseum has drawn significant criticism over the years, described by the New York Times as a "bland charmless concrete monstrosity" and recognized as one of America's least favored sports venues. The stadium's deteriorating condition has led to a steady decline in attendance, further exacerbated by management's perceived neglect of necessary upgrades.
