I would like to know how much it will cost me to ride Bart from Dublin to the Oakland coliseum.
Steve

The interior of the arena was gutted and completely re-done in the past 10 years and current in all the amenities associated with today’s arenas. The exterior of the building is all that is left of the original arena. Saying it is the oldest facility in he NBA is mis-leading.

@ Steve: Saying it’s actually okay and not the oldest is like saying your girlfriend is really healthy internally and takes good care of her teeth even though she has a bad bad face and weathered old skin.
