The Oakland Athletics played their final game at the Oakland Coliseum, a venue they’ve called home for nearly 60 years, as they prepare to relocate to Las Vegas. Emotions ran high among fans who expressed their frustration with ownership through protests and signs, chanting slogans like 'Sell the Team!' as they faced the reality of the team's departure. The final game was marked by incidents of fans throwing items onto the field and attempts to take souvenirs, including stadium seats and sand. Security was significantly heightened with about 200 officers present to ensure order amidst the emotional atmosphere, as fans anticipated a crowd of around 46,000. Many fans expressed feelings of helplessness and sorrow, having long campaigned against owner John Fisher's decision to leave Oakland, while others shared memories and keepsakes from the Coliseum. The Athletics plan to play temporarily in West Sacramento before moving to a new stadium in Las Vegas by 2028.
