The New Arena is definitely bigger, but I don't think it's better. The old giant concourses are long gone and have been replaced by claustrophobic hallways. Parking is easy, except on days when the A's or Raiders are playing. BART is always an option. My top concerts here were Madonna, John Mellencamp and the oldies gig by Frank, Sammy and Dean.
Pros: Big-name shows
Cons: Claustrophobic
