The Oakland Athletics are committed to creating a safe, comfortable and enjoyable environment. Our staff is here to proactively assist you to help ensure a family entertainment experience. We will ensure your experience through enforcement of our Guest Code of Conduct.

  • Permitted Items

    The following items will be permitted with the following restrictions:

    • Bags brought in to the stadium may not be larger than 16" x 16" x 8". All bags, including backpacks and purses, are subject to search.

Once the batting cage is pulled (45 minutes before the game), all bats must be checked in at the Security Office at Section 126 for pick up after the game. Management reserves the right to remove any bats from the stadium at any time deemed necessary.

      • They do not cover up any existing signage.
      • They are not commercial in nature and in good taste.
      • They are not paraded around the stadium.
