Oakland A's - July 28, 2017

We were pretty excited about seeing our first A's game because we were all obsessed with the movie, Moneyball. Oakland fans are AWESOME. Even before we got into the stadium, their enthusiasm was contagious.

The stadium itself is a bit of a dump. Remember the Silverdome? Yeah, a little like that.

Inadvertently caught Aliyah in my pic of the stadium

This Toledo girl LOVED the Holy Toledo sign that lit up in center field.

The people who work at the stadium are incredibly kind and helpful.  From food service to the fan shop to security, every single person I talked to was so nice.

We happened to visit on G Eazy bobblehead night. True facts, I had to use my phone to look up G Eazy because I had never heard of him. He had some DEVOTED fans there as he threw out the first pitch.

Owen and Lee both caught balls during batting practice.

This mac and cheese was amazing, especially because it was FREEZING that night.

You can imagine who loved this scoreboard with its Advanced Stats Primer.

Owen's first churro - I have no idea why it took us this long to introduce this child to the magic of the churro.

I actually really liked the A's. I thought the physical plant was a mess. There is literally duct tape on the ground. But the spirit of the people there is so happy and excited.  They're like the Bad News Bears.  You can't help but root for them. They also have an incredible staff. The food was pretty good, though not top tier. All in all, we had a great (if chilly) night.
