The Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Complex was the outdoor stadium and the indoor arena. The outdoor stadium was commonly called "the Coliseum", while the arena was called "The Coliseum arena".
While the company did change its name to McAfee, the stadium still hasn't undergone the name change yet. The official website still references Network Associates Coliseum. (submitted by a McAfee employee)
I added the old nickname, the net, to the article. 24.7.109.167 19:01, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stadium Question
If the A's move to a new ballpark, will the Raiders change the semi-circle seating section?--BigMac1212 01:23, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- I don't see how they can. They'd have to basically tear the older part of the stadium down which isn't very cost effective. Gateman1997 02:44, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
The semi-circle stands are basically two-thirds of the stadium. So unless the city wants to fork over additional money again to rebuild the stadium I don't see it happening. Gemini2525 11:59, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Mount Davis Merger
I agree that the Mount Davis article should be merged into the McAfee Coliseum article as the Mount Davis article merely describes a part of McAfee Coliseum.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:McAfee Coliseum logo.png
Image:McAfee Coliseum logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:51, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Net
I have no recollection of Network Associates Coliseum being referred to as "The Net" other than in a video game, where the default sportscasters claim that people call it as such. No one ever called it that. It has and always will be simply the Coliseum. Fans may have sometimes mocked it that way, but it never became an official nickname, much like the current mocking "The Mac" for McAfee. Also, Oracle Arena is still referred to as The Arena. This is from its days as The Oakland Arena/The Arena In Oakland. 24.4.131.142 20:32, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- The A's used "the Net" in some advertising, specifically they had a "see you at the Net" ad campaign a few years ago. However no one outside the team ever uses anything but "the Coliseum" in my experience. Gateman1997 (talk) 01:24, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Coliseum BART and Amtrak stations
Any mention of the BART and Amtrak stations from this article? A pedestrian bridge directly links from the elevated track level at the BART station to the Coliseum, passing over the nearby Amtrak tracks. --Geopgeop (T) 06:46, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] No Re-Entry
When did the coliseum begin its frustrating no re-entry policy? 76.126.15.78 (talk) 22:20, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- It's been in force since my first game there in 1987. Not unlike most stadiums. Gateman1997 (talk) 22:30, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
