Pinhead Gunpowder Oakland Concert reviews
Not a good time
The venue is not supported by modernized traffic management from San Diego County, which made the traffic horrible coming into the area. The NFL won't allow women to bring in purses anymore, and the large police/security force makes you feel like you're at a rally for the Third Reich, not a family sporting event. Stadium staff and ushers are unfriendly and disengaged, and parking was miserably managed and cost $25. The food is sub-par and extremely over-priced, with $18 for a hot dog, peanuts, and soda. I believe the NFL's purse policy is more about preventing their food sales from taking a hit from items "smuggled in" rather than about security or safety. They still check and prod into the clear bags they try to sell. This was my first time at a Pinhead Gunpowder home game, sadly it will be my last. Let's not even get into the ability of the team.
