2692656, Pre-renovation Oracle was my favorite sporting venue ever

Back when it was just the Oakland Coliseum. Yeah, it was pretty no frills, but that was a no frills era for basketball stadiums. And it was a no frills type of crowd who used to come out there.

I know commentators like to talk a lot about "Roaracle," but during the '80s and early '90s, whoooo boy did it get loud. Went to Game 3 in 1989, where we ending up sweeping the Jazz out of the first round (#7 over #2 upset) and they gave Mitch Richmond the ROY award. Man, it was PAINFULLY loud.

Definitely going to miss. I might have to try to buy some play-off tickets off of my homie, because I know realistically I'm never going to be able to make it out to the Chase Center to catch a game.
