Financing
The $25 million arena was built as part of a city/county bond issue that also financed the Coliseum.
The Warriors’ lease at Oracle Arena runs through the 2016-17 season. The arena, built in 1966, is the oldest in the NBA – two years the senior of New York's Madison Square Garden – but it was extensively renovated in the mid-1990s.
In 2013, upgrades included 16 theater boxes, a 114-seat second row of floor chairs and a new VIP Club.
Tickets for the second-row floor seats cost $750 each and a four-seat theater box for the season required $90,000 or $350,000 for a four-year commitment.
Purchasing the theatre boxes will also grant access to any concerts at the arena and according to the Warriors will “include a private Chef’s table dining experience with concierge, bartender and personal service attendant, complimentary food and beverage, enhanced technologies including iPads and charging stations, access to the exclusive Courtside and Sideline Clubs and more.”
The team sold out its previous allotment of 150 floor seats each of the past five seasons. Those with floor seats will have access to the new VIP Club, which will feature 11 high-definition televisions and serve complimentary food and drinks.
Lacob and Guber earlier approved new flat-screen TVs in Oracle suites. They earlier updated the sound system, installed four new LED scoreboards in the upper corners, renovated the locker rooms and added Wi-Fi throughout the arena.
In February 1996, the Golden State Warriors reached an agreement in principle with the Oakland Coliseum Board of Directors that will keep the team in the Coliseum Arena. The arena received a $121 million renovation in 1998, which provided 4,200 more seats (bringing the arena total to over 19,000), 72 luxury suites and 3,900 club seats on a private concourse level. Renovations included a retail store and a sports bar.
A state judge ruled against the team in 2001, saying it must pay a $17 million judgement assessed by an arbitrator in a 2000 ruling in the team's dispute with the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Authority. The team had been refusing to pay rent and ticket revenues since it moved into the renovated building in 1997.
The Authority agreed to a $140 million remodeling project in exchange for a 20-year lease from the team. The team claimed various problems with the agreement, including a player walk-out in 1998 resulting in cancellation of part of the season.
As for revenue division, the sports authority gets the first $7.428 million from the building, including luxury suite leases. After that, the money is divided according to a schedule. The team gets the first $3.6 million in signage sales, then must divide the revenue.
The arena offers party suites leasing for $1,600 to $4,000. (Basketball, Facilities, NBA, Professional Sports, Venue)
