The Coliseum has been home to some of the biggest names in baseball. Although the Coliseum held 48,219 spectators for baseball, the A’s didn’t draw 1 million fans in a season until 1973, reaching that level only twice in their first 13 years in Oakland. Completed in 1966 with only the Oakland Raiders as tenants, the $25.5 million complex lured the Athletics from Kansas City in 1968 and the Warriors from San Francisco in 1971. On a stretch of land near an Oakland freeway, Alameda county broke ground for the Coliseum and Sports Arena.
