    Finally found the home of the five-time NBA Champions. I found it a bit difficult to find my way around the arena though. The passage ways are complicated, but the working areas are awesome.

    BIG sports arena, but well conceived and well equipped for concerts. Even the cheap seats will afford you decent views of the stage.

    Pink concert was great! But leave your metal containers at home, apparently it can be used as a weapon and you will have to check it before you enter the security check point, even if you’re pregnant.

    I came here to see my team play an away game, so can't speak to the experience as a Dubs fan. But there are a ton of good seats here and it feels very intimate, so it's a plus in my book.

    Get here early and give yourself time to buy merchandise, food and drinks. Lines for concessions can come off the narrow hallways. Inside there's no bad seat. Extra $ spent on a suite is worth it.

    A great energy if not the best acoustics. Been coming here for 37 years and seen every thing from the Warriors to Ringling Brothers.

    Try to get a seat in Section 124 to 127, to see Stephen Curry warmup. It's nothing short of amazing. Get there 2 hours ahead of tip- off.

    From the last rows of the upper level, you can't see across the arena. Jumbotrons in upper corners of arena. If you need help deciding which Seats to purchase for your next Warriors game, check out Read more

    Love coming here to watch my favorite nba team. Flooded w memories when my dad used to take me here to root on the warriors. Rap concerts here are a little sketchy but still a great time!

    Went to Summer Slam Concert Last night it was awesome. I loved it. NO, you cant say it w as bad... It was awesome. IF you ever go to a concert here, I suggest you go as close to the stage as possible.

    Make sure you park near the North exit. Much easier to get out of the lot after the game. Food-wise, get the Italian sausage and peppers sandwich. It's filling and delicious.

    Stephen Curry was once the biggest bargain in the NBA thanks to a contract he signed when there were still doubts about the long-term health of his ankles.

    Hands down one of the best arena experiences you'll have when the Warriors are playing competitive basketball. Be prepared to get loud and stand on your feet!

    Make sure you check on parking fees for the event you're going to. Pearl Jam show at Oracle boasted $35 parking fees....most I've seen for other events was $20.

    If you're running late heading to the Arena on 880 going northbound and want to avoid the hegenberger exit pileup on 880, exit Davis west, then right on Doolittle, then right on Hegenberger.

    Taking BART is relatively painless, can be crowded. Concessions expensive as expected. But be prepared for a good time...especially when Curry tears it up!

    Home of the Splash Brothers. For best beer bang for your buck, find the stand with the tallboys.

    Expensive food and drinks. Don't buy water there. Just use the water fountains that are sparsely located between the bathrooms.

    In the Plaza Level food court, avoid the pizza (doughy), the hot dogs (chewy), and go for the mexican. The nachos are actually legit.

    The 1996 Oracle Arena renovation involved the complete demolition & redesign of the building’s interior. Capacity was increased by more than 4,000 to 19,200, plus 72 suites & 3 clubs were added.

    Nab tickets in the Courtside Club seats (we're talking A1) and head to the game day coach's press conference. ( Vs. either the Indiana Pacers on January 19th or the San Antonio Spurs on January 24th.)
