Continuing my sports tour. My first stop for the NBA is of course the team closest to home, Golden State Warriors. They play at Oracle Arena out in Oakland, CA right next to the Oakland-Alameda Coliseum. I think Oracle Arena looks a lot nicer than the Oakland-Alameda Coliseum. But its a nice venue for basketball.
Tickets for the Golden State Warriors are fairly cheap. They have a lower level (100's section) and an upper level (Club 200) its really not that hard to navigate around the Arena. Tickets on the upper level you can get for like $10, I have gotten lower level tickets for about $40 which is pretty decent.
The food here, is not that special. I think its the same company that provides the food for Oakland-Alameda Coliseum. Its pretty pricey as well. $6 for a BOTTLE of soda. But nevertheless we cannot forget where we are. The best thing they got there is the Ribs. Located on the lower level. Lines get really long but they are amazing. Expensive, but with nothing really located around the Arena to go out to eat before the game, your kind of stuck with this so might as well get something good. Go try them ribs.
Just like with the Oakland-Alameda Coliseum, transportation is the best here. BART goes right to the Oracle Arena. No busses, all you got to do is take a small 3 minute walk around the Coliseum and head straight up to Oracle Arena. Parking here is the same price as the Coliseum. I advise you to take BART and spare the air.
Golden State Warriors games are pretty tame. Lots of kids go to the games and its very family oriented. I never seen anything obscure happen. (Well last season this guy jumped out of his seat and ran out onto the court. He got what he wanted, hit 10 seconds of fame. Then he got ejected from the arena and probably cited as well. It was quite funny) but aside from that its not a bad crowd. They never really sell out the games either. I guess its the team.
This next season thats coming up (2010 - 2011) they got a new logo, so everything looks different. The Arena looks different and so do the jerseys. They also got a whole bunch of new players through trades and drafts. And finally they got a new head coach. So things are looking up for the Golden State Warriors now. I hope they do will, and I will update this blog when I go to their game this coming year.
