McAfee coliseam-Commonly referred to as The Coliseum. It was formerly known as Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum and Network Associates Coliseum, some locals referred to it as The Net during the time it was named for Network Associates. It was built for two reasons: as a new stadium for the Oakland Raiders and also in an effort to lure MLB baseball to Oakland. In 1968, the Kansas City Athletics became the Oakland Athletics and began play at the new stadium. The Raiders played their first game there on September 18, 1966. The Athletics' first game was played on April 17, 1968. The stadium complex cost $25.5 million to build and rests on 120 acres (0.5 km²) of land. The Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Complex at one time consisted of the outdoor stadium and the indoor arena. The outdoor stadium was commonly called "the Coliseum", while the arena was called "The Coliseum arena." More recently, only the stadium is called the Coliseum. The arena is now called Oakland Arena, and is home to the Golden State Warriors basketball team of the NBA. The outdoor stadium features a unique underground design where the playing surface is actually below ground level. Consequently fans entering the stadium find themselves walking on to the main concourse of the stadium at the top of the first level of seats. This combined with the hill that was built around the stadium to created the upper concourse means that only the third deck is the only visible level from outside the park. This gives the Coliseum the illusion of being a short stadium from the outside.In its baseball configuration, the Coliseum has more space between the foul lines and the seats, especially near first base and third base, than any other major league ballpark. Thus, many balls that would reach the seats in other ballparks are caught for outs at the Coliseum.
