Oracle Arena

7000 Coliseum Way, Oakland, CA, 94621
(510) 569-2121 - Venue Website

The Oracle Arena also known by its former name of The Arena in Oakland is an indoor arena in Oakland, California, United States. It was originally constructed as the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena in 1966. Over the years though, the arena became increasingly outdated, lacking the luxuries of newer ones. Rather than building a new arena in Oakland – or, for that matter, in San Francisco or San Jose, as some wanted – the decision was made to proceed with a $121 million renovation that tore down much of the old arena, leaving the external walls, roof and foundation, along with a few other features, intact, and then building a new seating bowl within the older confines, similar to what was done to the KeyArena in Seattle. The renovation began in mid-1996 and was completed in time for the Golden State Warriors to return in the fall of 1997. (They played the intervening season at the San Jose Arena). The new arena seats 19,596 for basketball and 17,000 for ice hockey. It hosted WCW SuperBrawl 1999 and the 2000 NBA All-Star Game.

I don't care too much for stadium sized concerts, but they did a good job here. They had the stage set up for 360 degree viewing and the performers would work their way around the stage so everyone got a piece of the action.

I went there last night for the Disney on Ice show. This stadium is great. It's right beside highway 880, very easy to exit after show. Ten years after renovation, this arena looks very new and modern. The light, sound is in super quality. I especially like the bar setting area at the statium section entrance. Comfortable, spacious seating.
