Oracle Arena, located in Oakland, was the home of the Golden State Warriors from 1971 until 2019. It underwent a major $121 million renovation in the mid-1990s, which included rebuilding the seating bowl while keeping the original walls, roof, and foundation intact. This renovation increased its seating capacity to 19,596 for basketball games
. In 2006, Oracle Corporation purchased the naming rights, and the arena became known as Oracle Arena. The venue gained a reputation as one of the loudest and most passionate arenas in the NBA, earning the nickname "Roaracle" due to the intense fan atmosphere during Warriors games
. However, in 2019, the Warriors moved to a new, state-of-the-art arena called Chase Center in San Francisco. This move marked the end of the Warriors' tenure at Oracle Arena. Shortly after the move, the iconic "Oracle" signage was removed from the building. The naming rights for "Oracle" were transferred to the San Francisco Giants' baseball stadium, which was renamed Oracle Park
. Since the Warriors' departure, the arena has reverted to its original name, Oakland Arena, and remains open, although it no longer hosts NBA basketball games. The future use of the arena has been a subject of interest, but it has not been abandoned and continues to be a venue for other events
. In summary, Oracle Arena is no longer the home of the Golden State Warriors, who relocated to the Chase Center in San Francisco in 2019. The arena has reverted to the name Oakland Arena and remains in use, but without the Warriors and the Oracle naming rights
