OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Sometimes, Leland Anderson steals a quick glance high into the stands above left field and finds his wife Sandy in section 237 for a wave and a smile.

Its their way of checking in during shifts as Guest Services ushers at the Oakland Coliseum.

Shes the hottest, 79-year-old Leland said with a grin while working his usual sections of 122 and 123 for an Athletics game.

The Andersons have always loved baseball, so once their four sons had grown and retirement came along, the couple from Californias Central Valley soul-searched about what they would do next. And it just so happened the As were hiring in 2013, the perfect time for them.

Like the Andersons, so many longtime Coliseum employees have built lasting memories at the ballpark, which is set to host a sellout crowd for the final scheduled As game here on Thursday. The club has played in Oakland since 1968 and plans to call Sacramento home for at least the next three years before a scheduled move to Las Vegas ahead of the 2028 season. The NFLs Raiders left the Coliseum and relocated to Las Vegas in 2020.
