More Details About This Event: The Oakland Athletics host the Toronto Blue Jays in Major League Baseball action. Though often overshadowed by their AL East rivals in New York and Boston, the Blue Jays are a strong team with one of the league's best pitching staffs.
About McAfee Coliseum of Oakland: The first crowd filled the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum on September 8, 1966 when the AFL's Oakland Raiders played the Kansas City Chiefs. The adjacent arena celebrated its grand opening on November 9, 1966 when the Oakland Seals met the San Diego Gulls for an NHL game.In the following 32 years, the Oakland Alameda County Arena and Coliseum Complex has hosted a spectrum of events in both the sporting and entertainment industries including concerts, circus, boxing, rodeos, religious speakers and ice shows. Audiences numbering nearly 100 million have made McAfee Coliseum and the Oakland Arena the premier entertainment facilities in Northern California. In October 1995, McAfee Coliseum began an extensive renovation. The $120 million project included the addition of 22,000 new seats, 90 luxury suites, two private clubs and two state-of-the-art scoreboards. The Oakland Arena followed suit in June 1996 with a $100 million renovation. This project involved the complete demolition and concurrent redesign of the building's interior. Capacity was increased by more than 4,000 to a maximum of 19,200 occupancy, plus 72 luxury suites and three exclusive clubs were added. The newly renovated McAfee Coliseum and Oakland Arena sit on 132 acres with an ample 11,000 on-site parking spaces. |
