Oakland Arena

In the following 48 years, the Oakland-Alameda County Arena and Coliseum Complex has hosted a spectrum of events in both the sporting and entertainment industries including concerts, circus, boxing, rodeos, religious speakers and ice shows. Audiences numbering nearly 100 million have made Oakland Arena and Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum the premier sports and entertainment facilities in Northern California. In October 1995, Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum began an extensive renovation. The $120 million project included the addition of 22,000 new seats, 90 luxury suites, two private clubs and two state-of-the-art scoreboards. Oakland Arena followed in June 1996 with a $100 million renovation. This project involved the complete demolition and concurrent redesign of the building’s interior. Capacity was increased by more than 4,000 to a maximum of 19,200 occupancy, plus 72 luxury suites and three exclusive clubs were added. In 2006, the Golden State Warriors and Oracle Corporation announced a naming agreement, turning the Oakland Arena into the Oracle Arena until 2019. The newly renovated Oakland Arena and Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum sit on 132 acres with an ample 10,000 on-site parking spaces. Currently managed by ASM Global, the venues are easily accessible by both highway and public transportation and is complete with a pedestrian bridge which allows guests direct access to the venues from the Coliseum BART station.
