Warriors Settle Oracle Arena Dispute With Oakland Alameda County Coliseum Authority

Alameda County and Oakland officials Tuesday gave final approval to a settlement that “ends a more than five-year dispute between” the Warriors and the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum Authority regarding Oracle Arena, according to Chris Metinko of the OAKLAND TRIBUNE. The settlement “calls for the authority to upgrade the sound system at the arena, as well as start a $4 million ‘upgrade fund’ to improve the ‘fan experience’ at the arena.” The authority will pay “an additional $3 million to end litigation over the dispute.” The authority also will “replace the corner scoreboards in the next fiscal year.” In addition, the authority during the next three years will “set up the $4 million upgrade fund that the Warriors can draw from to make unspecified improvements to the arena.” The disagreement between the parties began in ’06 when “the Warriors stopped making payments to the authority to play at Oracle Arena.” Warriors co-Owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber late last year sent “more than $10 million to the authority to settle that debt” (OAKLAND TRIBUNE, 6/23).
