Golden State Warriors

Located in Oakland, California, Oakland-Alameda Coliseum plays host to many football, baseball and soccer games.  It is primarily known as the home of the NFL’s Oakland Raiders and the Oakland Athletics of MLB.  The Coliseum also is home to larger games for the San Jose Earthquakes of MLS. 

 The stadium was opened in 1966, as it hosted its first Raider game.  The Athletics moved to Oakland in 1968, and began play in the Coliseum shortly after.  One of the most recognizable findings at an Oakland Raiders game is the creation of the Black Hole, a highly recognizable group of fans who occupy one end zone seating during football games.  The fans wear bizarre apparel, face paint and shoulder pads. 

Oracle Arena, the oldest facility still in use by the NBA, is home to the Golden State Warriors.  It also has the largest seating capacity of all the other NBA venues in the state of California, holding over 19,500 spectators!  The stadium has also broken many attendance records including one in April, 2008, where the arena hosted 20,737 fans at a Warriors vs. Nuggets game.
