Any guest who has a valid driver’s license and is of legal drinking age is eligible to participate in the A’s Designated Driver Program. Guests may sign up for the Designated Driver Program at any of the Guest Services Hubs located inside the stadium. The hubs can be found at Section 101, 134, and 217, as well as at the Guest Services Office at Section 126. Participants are asked to pledge to stay sober and be a designated driver for their party in exchange for a free soda to be redeemed during that day’s game. Guests must be 21 years old to participate in this program and to redeem the prizes.
