The Golden State
Warriors have one of the longest history’s in the NBA, dating back more
than 60 years to Philadelphia. The Warriors were formed in 1946 playing
in Philadelphia at the Philadelphia Arena and Philadelphia Convention
Hall for 16 seasons. Franklin Mieuli bought the team and moved the team
to San Francisco after the 1961-62 season. The team was known as the San
Francisco Warriors and played their games at the USF War Memorial Gym.
Across the Bay in Oakland, the city constructed a new sporting complex
that included a baseball/football stadium and a new basketball arena.

Completed in 1966,
the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum was a state of the art basketball
arena. The same year, the San Francisco Warriors began playing
some of their games in Oakland. For nine seasons the Warriors played in
games in Oakland and San Francisco. After the 1970-71 season the team moved
all of their games to Oakland and changed their name to the Golden State
Warriors. Since then the Warriors have called Oakland home. Thirty years
after the arena opened, it was completed renovated in 1996. Over $121
million was spent rebuilding and renovating the coliseum. A new octagonal
shaped seating bowl was constructed adding 4,000 seats to the arena. Today
the arena has a seating capacity of 19,596 with 72 luxury suites. In October
2006, the Oracle Corporation bought the naming rights to the arena.
