Big Baseball Fun in Oakland

If your clients are big Oakland A’s fans, then no amount of wining and dining will impress them as much as an afternoon at the O.co Coliseum. If you’ve been looking for new ways to entertain your biggest customers, it's high time to start scoping out some tickets for the upcoming baseball season. Whether you choose a box above the crowds or a seat right beside first base, your clients will love every second of the game. We’ve got some other ideas to make the day really special, from wandering the stadium to getting drinks after the game. Take a look at some of our ideas and start planning your big day out. 

The Stadium

O.co Coliseum is the home of the Oakland Athletics, and has been since 1968. As such, there is plenty of history to soak in when you visit. If you score box seats, you could have access to food and drink other fans won’t even see. You will be a bit far from the action, so you may want to scope out closer seats so you can enjoy all the celebration with the crowd.

Be sure to get there early enough to wander the halls and see all the sights, including the souvenir shops. Your clients would probably love nothing more than a T-shirt to take home to commemorate their big day.

Traffic Trouble

Even in the best of times, traffic in Oakland can be a struggle. Be sure you plan accordingly or you could end up missing the first inning while stuck in traffic. Parking at the stadium can cost a pretty penny, too, so prepare for that in your budget. Even the public parking lots nearby will charge a premium on game day, so you won’t be able to get around it, no matter how hard you try.

If traffic and parking fees aren’t your cup of tea, consider reserving Bay Area sedan service for the big day. Your clients will love being able to chat with you as you travel to the game, and that might not be possible if you’re concentrating on the road. When someone else drives, you can remain engaged with your guests of honor, which could go a long way toward sealing the day when it comes time. As an added bonus, your clients will love the perk of being dropped at the door and picked up right there later in the evening. Convenience goes a long way when you’re trying to impress someone.

Where to Celebrate

The after-game celebration is inevitable, even if the A’s lose. Everyone likes to unwind and relive the excitement with a pint, so check out the popular bars near the stadium where you and your clients can celebrate or commiserate.

McGee’s Bar & Grill

Because there’s a “grill” in the name, you can be sure there’s a good burger or steak waiting on you. In addition, you can get some of the city’s finest craft beers or your favorite domestics on tap.

Lucky 13

For a fun experience that keeps the party going, Lucky 13 is a great choice. You and your clients can play pinball and other arcade games or just sit back and enjoy one of the several beers on tap.

Forbidden Island

If you really want to feel like you’re on vacation, Forbidden Island is the perfect choice. Instead of beers, you can order island cocktails and pretend you’re enjoying an evening on the beach. There is no better way to wrap up a great game day.

Wherever you choose to celebrate after the game, your Bay Area car service will come in handy. You’ll be able to enjoy the evening to your heart’s content while knowing everyone will get home safely. There is absolutely no better way to impress your clients than planning ahead for car service for the big day.
