Question about seat location and this year's bobblehead giveaways. Help a fellow A's fan out.


Hey guys,

I haven't been to a day game for years because my wife doesn't like sitting in the sun for 3 hours. However I'm taking my Dad to the Olson bobblehead day because we have the same last name and I thought it would be cool to get his bobblehead. It would go well with my Olson t-shirt that he signed at fanfest this year. 2 questions for you:

1. What side of the field gets more shade at a day game? Or which rows of the 1st and 2nd deck are under an overhang. I feel like row 8 on the 2nd deck is right at the edge but I'm not sure. The lower bowl has a lot more rows obviously. Is row 22 covered? I tried the seat locater on the website but they are slightly vague, showing a sample view of about 5 rows combined.

2. How early do you think we need to be to get a bobblehead? If we park by noon do you think we get one? l feel like I read that they haven't been listing the limit on giveaways this year because they have enough for "everyone". We got the No-Hitter bobblehead last year without being too early last season but it was a night game.

I might go to the game Monday to scope out the overhang but tickets are getting more scarce and I can't miss out. Thanks for your help.
