MESA, Ariz. - Try to wrap your mind around this: The Coliseum as a drawing card for foodies, beer lovers and baseball history aficionados.
For years, decades even, the food and beverage options at the A’s stadium have been mediocre at best, and the nods to the team’s rich past only cursory. Under new team president Dave Kaval, all that is changing -there will be all sorts of dining options, a brand new tavern and an embrace of the team’s history.
Each game, there will be eight to 16 gourmet food trucks, including vegetarian and gluten-free options, on the plaza between the Coliseum and Oracle Arena, and a big video board will allow fans to patronize the trucks and play bocce ball and other games without missing any action.
