It's the end of an era for Oakland: The letters are coming down at Oracle Arena.

The stadium has been the home of the Golden State Warriors for nearly 47 years, even through the many name changes for the building: first the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena, then The Arena in Oakland, followed by Oakland Arena and, lastly, Oracle Arena in 2006.

But now, the Warriors have played their final season in Oakland and will be moving to the new Chase Center in San Francisco, which is having its grand opening on Sept. 6 with a Metallica and San Francisco Symphony concert. The Warriors will play their first preseason game at Chase Center against the Los Angeles Lakers on Oct. 5.

The Oracle Arena may be losing the Warriors — and its name — but it will continue to host concerts, events, and other sporting events. Upcoming performances include a Jojo Siwa concert in August and the Rolling Loud music festival in September, which features Future, G-Eazy, Migos, and Lil Uzi Vert.

The stadium is also still tied to the Oakland Coliseum, which is the home of the Oakland A's for the time being (although the team has a plan to eventually move to Howard Terminal).

A new name has not yet been announced for Oracle Arena, but we do know that the naming rights no longer belong to the Warriors. The stadium planned to start marketing the naming rights in July, according to The Chronicle.
