Going to the Big A

I am going to be driving down to So Cal to take my sister to UCLA to tour the campus during the weekend of Aug 8 while the Yanks are in town. While I am down there, I would like to enrich my California Baseball experience and take in a game from Angel Stadium.

I would assume that it is hard to get tickets at face value at Ticketmaster or the box office for the Yankees games. So far I have been checking the Orange County Craigslist and broker sites like StubHub for tickets, are there better places to go for tickets?

So my good friends to the south, know of the best place to sit at the Big A, good spots to park, things to eat/drink, etc?

I've got tickets to Friday night's game against the Orioles and was wondering the best transporation possibilities.

I normally drive to Oakland from the Sacramento Area and park the car in the BART lot at the Coliseum/Airport station.

Now I know that I don't have to travel to San Francisco, thus avoiding the EB closure this weekend, but will there still be some extra congestion on the freeways around the Bay Bridge in the always congested Emeryville intersection?

An option would be to drive to the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station or in Concord, but with Fireworks after the game, do they close the ramp after the fireworks show? I know they close it after the 8th inning and during the show.

What is the best way to get in and out of the area effectively? BART or Drive through
