Hotel Accommodations Alameda County Arena Oakland Football

Opened in 1966, the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum is home to the Oakland Athletics baseball team and the Oakland Raiders football team. The Oakland Coliseum features a unique underground design with a low profile and a playing surface constructed below ground level that minimizes the impact of the stadium on the surrounding area. In 1995, the Coliseum was renovated. This $120 million renovation project added 22,000 new seats, 90 luxury suites, private clubs, state-of-the-art scoreboards, and a steeply pitched nosebleed section that baseball fans detest. www.coliseum.com
