Fireworks Night at the Oakland Coliseum

On Friday, August 1, 2014, the Oakland Athletics baseball team hosted the Kansas City Royals.

Considering the A’s are doing well this season, the Coliseum is often quite crowded.

However, the stadium was bursting at the seams this evening; with kids of all ages awaiting the post game fireworks extravaganza.

Lucky me; all those extra fans made my game-time photographs extra exciting.

Photographing the Fireworks at O.Co Coliseum

First, the Oakland Athletics lost to the Kansas City Royals.

Then, a sold out crowd was invited to sit on the outfield grass and enjoy a spectacular display of fireworks above the baseball stadium

The theme was “Superheroes;” though, I can’t say the display made me think of Batman, Superman or anyone else.

Tripod Photography

Perhaps the most amazing part of the evening was that A’s security let me into the O.Co Colosseum with my tripod.

Thank goodness; because every firework photograph you see is a 10 second exposure.
