You can get to the Coliseum by train without going into 'Oakland' itself...

I'm going to guess the 9 fans that go to an A's game might be more into it than the 40,000+ that go to a Giants' game, but the total energy is not even close. The crowd at AT&T kicks the crap out of anything that Oakland can produce. A World Series title will do that to you. If anything, the A's are like the Flames, given the last time they won was 1989. AT&T Park is one of the nicest ball parks in the country. It has sold out 116 straight home games. Oakland is ranked 2nd to last in home attendance and has a tarp on the upper deck. I've been to 40-50 games in SF, usually sitting in clubs or lower box seats. The crowd there is as lively and knowledgeable as any park I've been to. The fans also travel well. Besides the 1989 World Series title, Oakland has nothing on San Francisco.
