Remember, this happened back in June of this year and caused some creative dressing situations for the Oakland A's and their opponents...
For the second time this summer, raw sewage has backed up into the team's facilities inside the Coliseum. The first time, it required clean-up and new carpeting. It happened again in the dugout during the team's 2-1 win over the Angels yesterday.
Stadium maintenance is looking for the cause.
Of course, they are...
And if this doesn't reinforce the A's and the Raiders wanting to look for a new home- in locations the teams already have scouted and are ready to build in- the HQ won't know what will...
Wednesday morning, two plumbers were in the guilty bathroom, taking out water that had overflowed from a toilet because automatic sensors were not functioning- according to VP of Stadium Operations Dave Rinetti.
It was, apparently, an easy clean up. But someone has started a new Twitter account - @ColiseumSewage
The tag line being "overflowing with love for the Oakland A's."
Amen...

A's And M's Play Through The Stink In Oakland
((HT: CSN California/KGO-TV))
A sewage problem with the 47-year-old Oakland Coliseum caused a backup that made the A's and Mariners dress in the same clubhouse, made Mariners manager Eric Wedge hold his presser in the hall instead of a foot of water in his office, and this apparently happens even when the team is on the road.
Too many people made trips to the bathroom during the six-game homestand...
The San Francisco Chronicle and Susan Slusser reported that leaking pipes and backed up drains occur often, even on days when the Coliseum is empty. The field is 22 feet below sea level, and the clubhouse level is 3 feet below sea level.
The lease for the A's ends after this season, just so you know...
Team president Michael Crowley, when asked about this, said “It’s clear, right? This isn’t the first time this has happened.” And the Angels even filed a grievance a few years ago when there was a concern over e.coli
Oh, Bartolo Colon pitched the A's to the 10-2 win before the sewage got out of hand...
Manager Bob Melvin says Colon should be a part of the All-Star conversation...
