Yeah, i agree with the comparison… Plaza Bleachers are about 300x more horrible than any third deck seat form the original bowl. I still feel like the A’s should tarp the plaza bleachers and sell more value deck.
.
I usually sit up there when I take all three of my daughters to a game because it’s 24 bucks of cotton candy included I still have to watch the fielders to know where a ball is headed when it’s hit. But at the end of the day, I’d rather be int he Value Deck than in AT&T Park… Unless the A’s are playing in AT&T Park.

Anything in the 300 level, save for the first few rows with the traffic and railings, is better than are any seats in the plaza bleachers other than row 1.

Yea, it doesn’t take long to figure out how the ball goes up there. That’s where I have my 22-game package. I don’t like the trek up there from the promenade, and occasionally you get Nazi elevator security, but It’s where I’ll be renewing my tickets. The $6 on each ticket for merch or food doesn’t hurt either, and makes it $4 for the game.

Id rather sit in value deck or most of the tarped off section and see the entire field than plaza bleachers and not see half the field.

Troy’s right. It doesn’t take more than a few games to get acclimated to the flight of the ball from the Value Deck. And it’s a really great deal.

I am with Briggs, everything looks like a HR from the value deck… The extra concession money on the ticket, however, does not suck

Value deck is one of those love it or hate it places. If you don’t mind watching from so high it can be a great place to watch the game. If not, you’re going to hate it. (I’m in the latter category). I get the appeal, it’s just not for me.

What are you talking about, the value deck is awesome! Right behind the plate, can see everything. And it’s not even that high up relative to most upper decks.

Ya know that scene in Titanic is when Leonardo DiCaprio is straddling the mast proclaiming, “I’m on tarp of the world!” Clearly, he wasn’t referring to the Value Deck at the Coliseum. Those seats suck. Let the press have’em.

In 2006, they were kept on but would have been removed for the World Series, if I recall correctly.
