| - Phoenix Municipal Stadium is an appropriate home for the Spring Training Oakland Athletics, as it has the same "old school" feel as the Oakland Coliseum: a basic slab of concrete with green seats, priced somewhat cheaper than other stadiums. The stadium is rather small compared to the Giants monstrousity in Scottsdale, thus you can actually get "bleacher seats" that are close to First or Third base.
The games I went to this season had pleasant baseball weather, tho some not-so-pleasant baseball fans who mercilessly heckled all the rookies, as well as any fans who would happen to drop a foul ball. Fortunately, no nazi security guards here: one can bring your own food into to park and sealed bottles of water. Happily, they go by the honor system and just asked me "You have sealed water bottles in here, right?" as they fondled my bag and let me pass.
However, don't talk to your friends while the Star Spangled Banner is playing, or you'll get "SHUSHED" by your elders, as I did.
