Guide To The Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

The Oakland Coliseum (formerly called O.co Coliseum, McAfee Coliseum and Network Associates Coliseum) provides a memorable setting for outdoor events, most notably serving as the home for the Oakland Athletics and Oakland Raiders. The complex rests on 120 acres just off the Nimitz Freeway and was constructed in 1966 at a cost of $25.5 million.
