The Oakland A's and stadium management strive to abide by the "T.E.A.M." policy. There are a few rules to be followed:

Guests cannot have more than 2 alcoholic drinks at a time, and guests that appear intoxicated won't be served. Alcohol service ends with the first pitch of the eighth inning.
Children under two years of age may come in without a ticket, as long as they can sit on a parent's lap.
The Oakland A's want to create a safe, comfortable environment for all, and the staff has been trained to positively intervene if deemed necessary. They'll be making every effort to keep the venue devoid of abusive language, obscene gestures, indecent or offensive clothing, and to maintain a family-friendly setting.
