Game Hateful Solar Daytime Inwards Oakland, California

There are 2 facilities I demand to bitch as well as moan close spell nosotros were inwards the Bay Area. First, was our hotel inwards Pleasanton. While I normally demo you lot inwards swell item the features of the rooms nosotros remain in, this 1 was simply unnacceptable for wheelchairs.

Watch the Video!

While I got a confirmed ADA compliant room, the showtime room they lay us inwards had no accessible features at all.

"You needed an accessible room?" I was asked, spell I stood at that topographic point amongst confirmed reservation inwards mitt as well as boy inwards wheelchair beside me when I went to complain.

We were re-assigned to an accessible room amongst a roll-in shower. Here's the shower:

Notice the half dozen inch lip to teach over as well as the drinking glass door that's every bit good narrow to jibe through.  This is a newer hotel inwards a rattling liberal area.  That's their sentiment of an accessible room amongst a roll-in shower.  The puddle did hit got a lift, however.

On Memorial Day weekend, it proved impossible to rebook then nosotros simply had to alive amongst it. We're currently negotiating amongst the fellowship to teach our points dorsum for this vantage stay. (Note: Hyatt did restore our points summation gave us 1,000 betoken bonus for our trouble.)

...and forthwith a give-and-take from our sponsor.  We're rattling happy as well as long-time customers of Paul Kalemkiarian's Wine of the Month Club. We'd hold out pleased to encounter you lot dice members, too. For their 45th twelvemonth anniversary, the Club has all kinds of swell deals for the calendar month of May...a $5.99 Sonoma Zinfandel from Slater Winery is an example.

Second, but non nearly every bit bad, is O.co Coliseum inwards Oakland. Widely regarded, amongst reason, every bit Major League Baseball's worst, ugliest, as well as outdated stadium.

They part the common amongst football's Raiders, who forced an ugly, large seating department inwards the outfield mutual derided every bit "Mt. Davis" every bit a plumbing equipment tribute to the football game team's owner.

The concourse is cramped, lines proceed forever, as well as accessible topographic point sight lines are impaired yesteryear an overhead as well as concrete columns.

In short, a piteous slice of sports architecture.

The skillful intelligence is you lot don't actually give away it. As much every bit it pains an Angels fan similar me to tell it, the A's are a darn skillful squad inwards 2014 as well as extremely good managed, the beer pick is fantastic, as well as the pre-game tailgating isn't bad either (check out Tim as well as I doing a picayune of that at the laissez passer on of this post).
(Note 2: The A's were doing good, fantastic every bit a affair of fact, until Billy Beane traded Yoenis Cespedes away a twain of weeks later on as well as the squad went downhill fast as well as faded out of the playoff picture.)

The game play is swell as well as the slugging grand, every bit inwards a grand slam that lay the game away for skillful over the Detroit Tigers ending amongst a marker of 10 cypher for the A's.

With that, our fourth dimension inwards the Bay ends. We'll hold out dorsum amongst novel travels soon, stick around!
