Oakland Coliseum Seating Chart
The longtime home of the Oakland Athletics (MLB, through 2024) and historically the Oakland Raiders. One of the last multi-purpose stadiums in major American sports, the Coliseum holds decades of Bay Area sports history even as its tenant teams have relocated.
Sections at Oakland Coliseum
Oakland Coliseum's seating bowl is organized into the following main sections. Section layout differs by event — a sports configuration and a concert configuration of the same arena are not the same chart.
- Field Level 100s — lower bowl
- Plaza Level 200s — second deck
- Club Level — premium middle deck
- Upper Level 300s — sections 301-334
- Mount Davis — the towering outfield upper deck
Best seats at Oakland Coliseum
Field Level 120 behind home plate for the classic Coliseum view. Plaza Level 211 along the baseline is the value ticket. The lower bowl is the place to be — Mount Davis is famously distant from the action.
Tips before you go
The Coliseum BART station connects directly to the stadium via a pedestrian bridge — the easiest transit access in the Bay Area. The venue's future is uncertain following team relocations; check event schedules before planning a visit.
How to read the Oakland Coliseum seating chart
Oakland Coliseum seats 46,847 fans around a baseball diamond, so reading the chart starts at home plate and works outward. Field-level sections ring the infield and outfield: the lower-number sections behind the plate and along the baselines sit closest to the action, while outfield and bleacher sections are farther out but usually cost far less. Above field level the club and upper decks climb in tiers, and the section number tells you which way you face — in toward the infield or down a foul line.
Three things decide a Oakland Coliseum seat: how close you are to the diamond, whether you sit behind the plate or out toward a foul pole, and how high you are. The value sweet spot at a ballpark this size is usually the lower outfield or the first rows of the upper deck behind the plate — close enough to follow the game, cheap enough to justify. Shade matters too, so check which sections fall under the overhang for a day game, and cross-check the official Oakland Coliseum map against your ticket before you buy.
