Every MLB stadium ranked from worst to best

29. RingCentral Coliseum — Oakland A’s

When researching for this slideshow, it was a tie between The Trop and RingCentral Coliseum as to which stadium was truly the worst.

The only reasons why RCC wasn’t the worst was that the A’s has better fan support than the Rays and the Coliseum has some cred in the history department. So the A’s can thank their fanbase and the historic nature of the stadium for keeping their much-hated home field out of the doghouse.

You’re welcome.

The stadium now known as RingCentral Coliseum opened in 1966 and has served as the home field for both the A’s and the Oakland Raiders. While the Raiders have flip-flopped all over the place, the Coliseum has been the A’s home for their entire existence. So they can truly say that they were “Rooted in Oakland,” as their theme suggests.

While the Coliseum may have been a marvel (of sorts) when it opened in 1966, it is truly a dump now, most famous for sewage that overflows into the dugouts (though they may have stopped that) and an absolute hideous upper-deck addition that killed any charm the Coliseum had.

While the Raiders got tired of waiting for Oakland to pony up for a new stadium and will be taking their team to Las Vegas in a year (or two), the A’s are still trying to work with the city to help finance a new home for the team. They very nearly pulled a Raiders and fled to San Jose a few years ago, but their crosstown rivals, the San Francisco Giants, nipped that in the bud, claiming territorial rights to San Jose.

So while the A’s try to work out their stadium situation, the Coliseum will be their decrepit home for the foreseeable future. Let us all say a prayer.
