I was recently here for the New Edition and Boyz To Men concert. I gave it a low rating based on a…read morefew things. The absence of quality/variety of food. I dont mind paying g the higher prices but there should have been more variety and better quality. I paid $12 for a hot dog you usually get in a kids meal. This hot dog looked like it came from.an AMPM Minimart. They ran out of cheese for basic nachos, they charged $10 for a pretzel plain plain. Mustard/cheese was extra. I literally saw their version of basic nachos, hot dogs, pretzels, candy and beverages. I expected more. MUCH more. I should've gotten food from one of the outside vendors, to be honest. They seemed to be severely understaffed in the concession areas. It was disappointing. The concert was good, but the best thing about the venue itself was the parking.

There were many entrance to get inside and the lines moved very fast. Security was very chill. There were many merch lines. I recommend going upstairs to find shorter/no lines, don't go to the one right at the door as they are way longer. Once we found our section, the usher offered to take us to our seats which we did take her on. I'm glad we did because we would've had trouble finding our seats. She also offered to take our photo. For food, I wanted to get their burgers which were supposed to be located in section 108, but none of the stores offered it. I decided to get the chicken tenders and fries and was very pleasantly surprised. It was not dry but juicy, and the fries were so good. I definitely recommend this meal if you come here for a concert. Water bottles are very overpriced so I recommend bringing an empty bottle and filling it at the water dispensers. Overall, I had a great time and enjoyed my experience.

I love how this venue has great parking surrounding the arena, it's also cheap parking for events…read morecoming out to $40. This venue has great sound and views all around. It is on the bigger side so if you are sitting at the top (200 section) unless the artist has 360 views, no obstruction, most often you will have obstructed views. One thing I wish would change was how knowledgeable workers are on where things are located, guiding people and also exiting the venue tends to be a problem often due to traffic jamming since there's one main exit point. Overall I do like coming here for events, I prefer it over going to San Jose for sure.

The Club Level at Oracle Park is only open for game days and concerts. Their food is so great, I…read morewish they would just open it so we can have dinner there. Now, the seating is great, the prices a tad high for the seats, but it is really super nice. There are no lines for food and they have the best from craft beers to the most wonderful crab sandwiches and pizza and brisket sandwiches. You want it they have it there--as the entire park does--but this is really cool. The service is great and they will get you whatever you need and you have a great place to see the game or a concert, but again, the food. There is just not a better stadium to eat at. It is all perfect and the food is at a fair price for what you get. We just love it and go whenever we can afford Club Level. Usually, we are in the cheap seats, but who cares, have fun and don't eat until you get there.

I had high hopes for The Cove at Oracle Park, but unfortunately, the food didn't live up to…read moreexpectations. I ordered the crab Louis, and it was pretty underwhelming. The presentation and taste felt more like a basic tuna salad you'd get at Subway rather than a fresh, quality seafood dish you'd expect at a ballpark in San Francisco. They used shredded lettuce as the base, which made it feel cheap, and the crab was mixed with mayo--definitely not what I was hoping for. It lacked that fresh, bright flavor that a good crab Louis should have. We also ordered the chicken tenders and fries from Derby Grill. The chicken tenders were surprisingly skinny and underwhelming, but the fries actually had good flavor and ended up being the highlight of that order. While the food was not so great overall, the seats were amazing. The location offered a fantastic view of the game and the sea--you could even watch ships passing by, which made the experience feel special despite the disappointing food. Overall, come for the views, not the food.

Two things bring me to the Marin Showcase Theatre. First, being the Italian Film Festival, which…read moreI've been coming to for years. If you're a fan of Italian movies, which I am, you'll enjoy a great variety of Italian films, ranging from dramas to laughter filled comedies. Secondly, I've come sporadically through the theatre throughout the years, during the Marin County fair, since the Marin Showcase is where they hold some of the fair activities. Parking is plentiful and easy, although depending on the performances, it can fill up quickly. The building is a bit dated, but functional. There's really not a bad seat inside the theatre, though the aisles in between the seats can be a little tight. A nice little venue in Marin County.

Great place to see live shows. Nice people and environment and the entertainment is top notch.read more

I'm not a really a baseball fan, but I do rep Oakland sports teams…read more So, I didn't know this was going on, I was just headed to Jack London Square to hang out for a bit and stumbled upon the A's Fan Fest! 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).

A big net protects the fans in the grandstand from objects leaving the field. The "dugout" is a semi-circular fenced area on each end of the grandstand. The bullpens are next to the fence near first and third base. The relief pitchers sit in the shade of big oak trees. The players participate in the between inning entertainment. You can purchase food at the snack shack. After the game fans are invited to visit with the players on the field. Forget the $100 a seat big league stadiums. Come see real home town baseball played by the San Rafael Pacifics at Albert Field.

Let me just say that its fun to have a minor league team in town along with a small stadium that…read moreholds about 1000. They get five stars just for that. As far as the stadium - really just a grand stand - goes, port a johns serve as restrooms. A snack stand serves dogs, pizza, tri tip and a small selection of soda. Good luck finding a diet soda unless you like diet coke. Lemonade dispenser wasn't working. Hot dogs were way backed up when I was there so had to wait a really long time through a very short line. Other side of the stands serves beer and wine. So if you want a dog and beer, you have to stand in line for 20 min on one side of the stadium, and go all the way to the other end and get in line again for beer and wine. Makes no sense. So one star shaved off for that. Lots of parking nearby but suggest you avoid the street adjacent to the field. Looks like some of the cars got beaned by foul balls. Other than that, go have fun!
