The stadium hosts women's basketball and volleyball, as well as men's basketball. The stadium was originally built as a tribute to alumni who served in World War II, the Vietnam War, and the Korean War, and temporarily housed the Golden Gate Warriors. The stadium was recently remodeled and expanded. Despite the remodel, interior signage is lacking, making it difficult to locate seats and staff was unhelpful with solving this dilemma. Food and drink options are relatively limited; I recommend getting drinks early, as by half time the venue ran out of all adult beverages except for one varietal of beer. Tickets to games are relatively inexpensive and worth the price for this high-caliber athletic program.

Lots of A's fans here, obviously, and it was actually a fun time. Free admission, live music, Oakland A's players and coaches, past and present, mascots, food, drinks, and a great atmosphere. I haven't been to an Oakland A's game in a while, but after attending this, me thinks I'll be making my way back to the Coliseum for a game or two in the very near future!!

One had to pay to get in for the fanfest. Somewhat feeling like being ripped off for the prices of admission and food, I did not attend the fanfests of 2015 and 2016. This year (2017) the venue has changed to another location - Jack London Square - which is a big improvement. It's free admission and there are food trucks galore. Yay....yes...Roderick's BBQ! The food trucks there included Curry Up Now, Mozzeria, Smoke's Poutinerie, Lezie's Frozen Custard, Rice Rocket and a gourmet Mexican/Korean. The food was free to all fans on the condition that the fan had to get a ticket at each food truck line entrance. The ticket was "good for one FREE menu item. Limit one ticket, per fan, per food truck..." (Quoted comment from the Schedule of Events information sheet. I do not want to be called out for plagiarism.) The Schedule of Events listed a variety of activities for everyone's enjoyment. The weather was perfect for this weekend outing. Despite the long lines of fans waiting to do the photo ops, meeting the current team players, the Hall of Fame racers and Stomper, hearing about building a new ball park at Howard Terminal, brought a smile on my face. It was also great to have 95.7 FM doing some of the interview sessions. The fans were also happier and I heard nothing but good things being said about the venue, i.e., it was much more organized and there were activities for the younguns. Finally, all I can say is thank you, Oakland A's, for restoring my faith in this year's fanfest. You guys did not disappoint. Let's go Oakland (clap clap clap clap clap).

We attended the season opener at the Richmond Memorial Auditorium this past Saturday, the SF Rolling Dead vs the Oakland Outlaws, and it was entertaining and interesting learning about the sport, as this was our first time watching. The first whistle took place two hours after the doors opened. We arrived a bit early, so we checked out the merchandise vendors in the lobby, and got a couple drinks from the bar, the Crimson Cowboy (Oakland Outlaws themed cocktail) and Vodka Grim-let (SF Rolling Dead themed cocktail). They were both delish, as we rooted for the Bunnies during the juniors game, before start time for the main event. Pickles N Smoke also sold bbq dishes on site, but there was a long line for this, especially at intermission. The game lasted no more than one and a half hours, including the break. And watching the players on the floor do their thing made me wanna go skating too (without the full contact). Never knew how much I'd enjoy the roller derby :)

I was actually quite impressed with the organization of this festival as it took place at the Russian Center on Sutter near Divisadero. The Russian Center is a building of several floors that accommodated authentic Russian food (loved the dumpling soup, beet soup, Russian beer and strawberry pie) with booths for shopping (handicrafts, nested dolls, pressed greeting cards, jewelry) and colorful decoratives, plus vodka tastings. Another floor had paintings and art, another floor had a stage where you could watch Russian dancing performances and a play, and another floor contained a museum with historical artifacts and displays and literature, and another section contained a library with neat old Russian books and literature. I thought we would spend an hour or two there to check it out, but we ended up enjoying several hours wandering with curiosity. And it was perfect timing with the Sochi Olympics! It is easy to get here on the Muni 2 or 24 lines. I understand there are dance classes and other activities here - I need to explore a little more! In the meantime, I cannot wait to come back for another Russian Festival!

The Oakland Soul are a women's professional soccer team that plays in the USL W League. They have…read morecaptured second place of said league the last three seasons. They play all of their home games at Merritt College. They have not lost a home game for the last three seasons. They have memberships which include tickets to all five home games for the 2026 season. Cost? One hundred bucks. $100. A C-Note. For real. That is ridiculous. Who wouldn't go for this? If I lived in Oakland, I'd be all over this. Twenty bucks a game? There may be some fees with it, I don't know? But, a hundred dollars? For five games? I'd be so into this. I'd be at all the games. I'd know all the players. Their positions. And their jersey numbers. This would definitely pass the time for me. And parking's free too. I read this somewhere. There on the campus. Near the field. It's free. If I was going to ding them for anything, their merch is too high. But same could be said about their fellow men's program, Los Roots. The Oakland Roots. I'm a fan of theirs too. So, I get it. I'm sure everything's expensive there. Another ding is their livestream. Last season, I tried to watch one of the Soul's home games on a livestream, and it felt like I was watching something on Windows 98. I kid, but I could've shot it better on my phone. Also, their online presence, what there is of it, is as if they feel like nobody's watching and nobody cares. They do. Or, at least I do. Update your media constantly. Do it for me, anyways. Get a higher quality livestream (but keep it free) Maybe lower your merch prices so others not in Cali can afford these sharp threads you offer at a current premium. Otherwise, just keep on keeping on, Soul. I'll be watching from far, far away. First 2026 home game is on Mother's Day.
