Not exactly a pretty city but I do drive up there once or twice a year to each my raiders losehaven't seen a raiders win in Oakland since 2006. Oddly they went 2-14 that year and I just so happens to catch half of their wins
The new arena looks good, might be the best in the NBA when you account their crowd.
They were building a new arena? They needed....a new arena?
Nobody wants to be in that ing hole in Oakland.
Well to be honest, I didn't know Oracle was in Oakland San Francisco nor cared to look it up because I thought it was an adequate arena for the team. Looking at how far its located on GE, I'm guessing they want their venue closer to home.

Some Alliance has been fighting the construction on this tooth and nail, claiming it'll wreck havoc on traffic and interfere with the hospital nearby.
I hope it does't up traffic tbh, I live too close to that arena. The highway ramp into the city is already turning into a nightmare during rush hour.
Flew into Oakland a few weeks ago and had to take the bridge into San Fran around 4pm. The traffic on it was horrendous. Took almost an hour to get across IIRC.
Yeah...only used the Bay bridge a couple of times. Went to buy stuff at IKEA when I first moved and yup....Saturday at 5PM...took an hour. Not making that mistake again.
