About The Grounds at Oakland Arena
The Grounds at Oakland Arena is the outdoor event space within the Oakland Coliseum complex, marketed as Oakland Arena Grounds. Known for large open-air layouts that host major music festivals and special events, the Grounds provides a flexible, festival-style setting for up to about 20,000 attendees in parking-lot configurations. If you’re planning to attend an event here, we’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining options to help you secure your tickets and plan your trip.
Whether you’re attending a festival like Second Sky or Breakaway Bay Area editions, or other large outdoor performances, securing your seats and timing your arrival are key. Gates typically open ahead of events (often about 2 hours before start times) and on-site parking is available. For a smooth experience, consider using BART via Coliseum Station and walking routes to the Grounds, and explore nearby hotel options such as Kissel Uptown Oakland for convenient lodging. We’ll keep you updated with official event details as they’re announced.
