Oakland Coliseum is a large multipurpose stadium distinguished by its monumental, circular grandstand structure and its long-standing role in Oakland's sporting and entertainment history. Opened in 1966, the complex has hosted professional sports, major concerts and other large-scale events over the decades. Depending on the configuration, the stadium can accommodate up to approximately 63,000 visitors, making it one of the largest open-air event venues in this part of the San Francisco Bay Area.
Its spacious, multi-level stands create a classic stadium atmosphere, while seating layouts and views of the field or stage vary according to the type of event. The Coliseum includes club areas, suites and food and beverage services, and its large open configuration is particularly well suited to sporting events, concerts and productions requiring substantial capacity.
The stadium is located at 7000 S Coliseum Way, Oakland, United States, within a large complex with parking areas immediately surrounding the venue. Visitors arriving by public transport can get off at Coliseum Station and use the pedestrian bridge for direct access to the complex, while on-site parking is available for those arriving by car.
