A's Beat Rangers as Fans Celebrate Final Game at Oakland Coliseum Before Move

Thursday marked the end of an era as the Oakland Athletics played their final game at the Oakland Coliseum.

The A's, who have called the Coliseum home since 1968, will spend the next three seasons playing at Sutter Health Park, a Triple-A stadium in Sacramento, before ultimately moving to Las Vegas for the 2028 season.

While the Athletics' final season in Oakland as a whole wasn't successful, the A's at least ended things on a positive note, beating the Texas Rangers 3-2 in front of a sold-out crowd. Oakland still has one more series to play this season, but it will take place on the road against the Seattle Mariners.

The A's final week at the Coliseum saw fans flocking to the ballpark to see their favorite team play one last time while grabbing souvenirs, whether that be a handful of dirt or some seats. On Thursday, fans celebrated the end of an era and the historic venue.

The decision to move the A's from Oakland to Las Vegas has been met with plenty of frustration. Fans spent much of the season protesting the move and filling the Coliseum with chants of "sell the team," though their wishes were never met.

While the Athletics won't return to the Coliseum next spring, the venue will always be remembered by baseball fans.
