Even more than the sadness and despair, there is loneliness as the A's final season in Oakland winds down. The Coliseum feels hollowed out, left abandoned by fans.
The A's will play their final game in the Coliseum on Sept. 26, concluding 57 seasons in a venue that has been nearly ignored since the announcement of their move.
