On Tuesday, the Athletics opened their series against the Rangers to mark the final three games that will be played at Oakland Coliseum. It’s truly the end of an era for A’s fans, and a couple of them may have picked up quite the souvenir in the process.
In fitting fashion, the A’s walked off in the ninth inning to beat the Rangers. And as the team was celebrating on the field, video hit social media that showed a couple of fans lifting up actual stadium seats. Who cares that the A’s still have two more games left to play at the Coliseum? The seats were there for the taking.

In all likelihood, the fans didn’t make it out of the stadium with seats. But what if they did? That’s a piece of history.
It also goes to show just how dilapidated Oakland Coliseum truly is as a ballpark. In just a matter of seconds, fans were able to remove seats that should have been drilled into concrete.
Oakland just won’t be the same without the A’s.
