The Oakland Arena is an indoor arena in Oakland, California, United States. It was originally constructed as the Oakland Coliseum Arena in 1966. Over the years, though, the stadium became increasingly outdated, lacking the luxuries of newer arenas. 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, like was done to 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 sits 19,596 for basketball and 17,000 for ice hockey. It hosted the 2000 NBA All-Star Game. Nickname: Oaktown, Biggity Biggity O, The Town Motto: Official website: www. ...
