The Oakland Coliseum has been the home of the Oakland Athletics Major League Baseball team for the last 57 seasons.
As the 2024 season winds down, the last games ever played at the Oakland Coliseum will take place in the next week.
After the 2024 season, the Athletics will play at least 3 seasons in a minor league ballpark in Sacramento before their team moves to Las Vegas.
The New York Yankees are in town for a 3-game series which ends on Sunday.
According to YES Network on ‘X,’ Yankees manager Aaron Boone shared his emotions on the Yankees’ last game at the Oakland Coliseum.

Boone notes that he has been coming to the Coliseum since the early 80s, and it is a little sad to play their last game ever there.
The Yankees were able to take the first 2 games of the series beating the Athletics 4-2 in 10 innings on Friday and 10-0 on Saturday.
They will hope to end their career at the Coliseum with a sweep of the Athletics on Sunday.
With a record of 67 wins and 88 losses, the Athletics have officially been eliminated from playoff contention and will look to end their days at the Coliseum on a positive note.
The Yankees hold a record of 91 wins and 64 losses and will look to inch their way closer to a division title as they have already clinched a postseason berth.
After the Yankees series, the last series ever at the Coliseum will take place between the Athletics and the Texas Rangers with the last game to be played on Thursday.
