Oakland Arena seating chart — Oakland, California

Discover the Legendary Oakland Arena

The Oakland Arena is more than an arena — it's a Bay Area landmark that has hosted unforgettable moments since 1966. From the Oakland Arena seating chart that puts you close to the action to the venue’s famed acoustics, you’ll find it’s designed for an incredible fan experience in the heart of Oakland at 7000 Coliseum Way.

Opened in 1966 and renovated in 1996–97, this indoor arena features a circular, domed design with intimate sightlines and excellent sound. It accommodates 19,596 for basketball and up to 20,000 for concerts, with flexible configurations thanks to a retractable lower bowl. The venue sits directly adjacent to the Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum, forming a major sports and entertainment hub.

Oakland Arena events span blockbuster concerts, basketball, and family shows. The Golden State Warriors called it home from 1971–2019, winning NBA Championships in 1975, 2015, 2017, and 2018, with the arena hosting multiple NBA Finals. The stage has welcomed icons like Prince, Beyoncé, Elton John, Metallica, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, U2, and The Rolling Stones, plus recurring spectacles such as Disney on Ice and Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

Upgrades to sound and lighting elevate every performance, while luxury suites and VIP clubs offer premium amenities for a next-level experience. Fans love the arena’s intimate feel — even in upper rows — and the way its layout brings energy right to the floor.

Whether you’re catching a chart-topping tour or a family favorite, Oakland Arena offers the atmosphere, history, and comfort that make live entertainment unforgettable.

Oakland Arena offers seating for approximately 20,000 concertgoers (and 19,596 for basketball), with a circular, domed layout known for intimate sightlines and excellent acoustics. The Oakland Arena seating chart features a flexible floor for concerts, a retractable lower bowl, and two primary levels of reserved seating surrounding the stage or court.

• Lower Level (Sections 101–128): These are among the most coveted seats for concerts and basketball. Center sections like 107–109 and 121–123 offer outstanding, balanced views with minimal obstructions. Rows typically run 1–27, putting you right in the action without sacrificing comfort.
• Floor Seating (Concerts): When configured for concerts, the floor places you closest to the stage for the most immersive experience. Depending on the tour, the floor may be general admission or seated sections — perfect for fans who want to be in the heart of the energy.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Oakland Arena

7000 Coliseum Way

Oakland, California 94621

Situated in Oakland and approximately 10 miles east of downtown San Francisco, the arena anchors a major sports and entertainment complex next to the Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum.

• Parking: Large on-site lots (A, B, C, D, E, G) with general parking typically $30–$40; VIP/premium parking available for suite holders.
• Public Transit: Direct pedestrian bridge from Coliseum BART station; AC Transit bus lines serve the area.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are located in the main parking lot near the arena entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime. This gives you time to park, clear security, and grab concessions before the lights go down. If you’re using BART, the pedestrian bridge to the complex streamlines your arrival and helps you avoid traffic delays.

Because it’s an indoor arena, weather isn’t a concern once you’re inside. That said, on busy nights the on-site lots can fill up quickly and you may have a moderate walk to the entrance — comfortable footwear is a smart choice. Guests with mobility needs can take advantage of courtesy carts from parking areas to the doors.

If you’re coordinating with friends, set a meetup point on the concourse or by a merchandise stand after you enter. Digital tickets are delivered via email or mobile entry, so be sure your phone is charged and your tickets are downloaded before you arrive.

Venue Navigation

Oakland Arena’s circular footprint makes it straightforward to navigate. Concourse levels serve the Lower and Upper seating areas, with clear wayfinding to sections 101–128 on the Lower Level and 201–234 on the Upper Level. Elevators and accessible ramps connect all levels, and Guest Services can point you to assistive listening devices, family restrooms, and first aid stations.

You’ll find a wide selection of concessions — from pizza and burgers to tacos and Asian cuisine — plus local craft beers, specialty cocktails, and vegan/vegetarian options. Merchandise stands are positioned throughout the concourses for quick access before and after the show. ATMs and mobile charging stations are also available so you can stay connected and ready to capture the moment.

• Bag Policy: Clear bags up to 12"x6"x12" are allowed; small clutches up to 4.5"x6.5" permitted. All bags are subject to search.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Consider BART for a fast arrival via the Coliseum station pedestrian bridge.
• If you’re driving, arrive early to choose a closer parking lot and enjoy the illuminated arena exterior before the show.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your night by exploring the arena’s food and beverage options when you arrive. With diverse concessions — including local craft beers and vegan/vegetarian choices — you can grab a bite and a drink without missing the opening act. If you’re celebrating a special occasion, look into premium seating or suites for added comfort and exclusive amenities.

Keep an eye on Oakland Arena events so you can plan ahead for high-demand shows and family favorites like Disney on Ice. If you’re comparing sections, the Oakland Arena seating chart is your best friend — use it to find the right balance of view, proximity, and price. For groups, choose a meeting spot inside the concourse and share it ahead of time so everyone can sync up quickly after security.

If you arrive before sunset, the upper parking lots can offer a nice view — and at night, the illuminated exterior makes for a great photo backdrop. Checking Oakland Arena upcoming events regularly helps you snag seats early for can’t-miss nights.

Oakland Arena is ADA-accessible, with accessible parking in main lots near entrances, elevators and ramps to all levels, and accessible seating available throughout the building at multiple price levels. Companion seating is provided so your group can stay together.
