Super Bowl City 2016
All eyes are on the Bay this February for the Golden Super Bowl, but the party starts way before kick-off. The San Francisco-based host committee promises to make the annual Super Bowl City “loud, proud, inclusive and authentic, just like the Bay Area itself.” Super Bowl City is annually presented in the week prior to the big event, and is the host committee’s free-to-the-public fan village designed to celebrate and highlight its unique place in the host city. Open January 30th – February 7th this year, the interactive theme park experience will be the hub of fan energy and excitement leading up to game day at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.

Super Bowl 50
Sunday, February 7, 5:30 PM on CBS
Levi’s Stadium
NFL fans, can you believe that it’s that time of year again? It seems like just yesterday that the Patriots awarded Tom Brady his 3rd MVP award. This being said, we certainly aren’t complaining. We’re ready for some football! This year, the second Sunday of February is more exciting than ever, as this epic sports match will take place right here in our lively Bay Area.
The Harlem Globetrotters at Oracle Arena
Known internationally as both amazing entertainers and ambassadors of goodwill, The Harlem Globetrotters are one of the oldest and most recognizable franchises in sports history. Their unique nicknames, ball handling wizardry, amazing trick shots, and comedic stunts combined with community service programs and exemplary sportsmanship have provided smiles to millions of fans around the world for decades. The famous team will bring their unrivaled family show to Oracle Arena in Oakland this January during their 90th Anniversary World Tour.
Christmas Day NBA Game
Christmas Day will offer up one of the most anticipated games of the year as the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers square off in a rematch of last year’s NBA Finals. These two National Basketball Association teams were the best in the league last season, and not much has changed. Experts anticipate seeing these two teams back in the Championship again. This game could be a sneak peak at what that might look like.
Golden State Warriors vs. Milwaukee Bucks at Oracle Arena
Warriors! Warriors! Warriors! Last year some skeptical NBA fans claimed that the Golden State Warriors‘ 2014-2015 season achievements might have been equal parts luck and skill. The team has, however, tipped off the 2015-2016 season in an unprecedented fashion. The Warriors have already beaten multiple playoff teams. Moreover, while Steph Curry proved that last year’s MVP award was fully deserved, it’s clear that the Warriors are not a one-man team. Andrew Bogut continues to be a premier big man while Klay Thompson builds on his reputation as a top-shooting guard in the league. These NBA stars have continued to roll out their long list of versatile small-ball players including Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala, Harrison Barnes, and Shaun Livingston.
Football Takes the Field in Oakland and San Francisco
The gridiron is returning to the Bay Area. It’s the time of year when massive men dawn shoulder pads and helmets and play what has quickly become America’s game – as opposed to baseball.
Time To Play Ball
It’s baseball season again in the Bay Area. That means hot dogs, popcorn and beer. There will be the seventh inning stretch and singing “Take me out to the ballgame.” The Bay Area has two teams for people to watch.
Warriors: 2014-15 NBA Finals Champions
This chant echoed through the Bay Area’s Oracle Arena back at home as Golden State defeated the Cavaliers at the Q in downtown Cleveland on Tuesday, June 16th. Fans far and wide are celebrating the Warriors’ Game 6 win – and, therefore, their 2014-15 NBA Championship – against the mighty Cavs and their all-star player Lebron James. The entire Bay area is, figuratively speaking, holding up the Larry O’Brien Trophy this week.
Game 5: The Warriors are back at Oracle Arena!
Golden State lost their home court advantage in Game 2 and Game 3 but regained it in Game 4, an impressive team effort. The Dubs overcame a career-high 28 points from the Cleveland Cavalier’s Timofey Mozgov while the Golden State Warrior’s baby faced assassin found his groove with 22 points. During the first three games the Cavalier’s Lebron James played like an all-time NBA great, but during the fourth game it became clear that the Cavaliers can’t win unless their MVP is stealing the show.
