The Warriors’ sometimes magical, sometimes depressing run at Oracle Arena has been over for nearly two months now.
As the team begins preparing for its move from Oakland to San Francisco, the East Bay arena is undergoing some change of its own: the removal of its “Oracle” logo.
Twitter user Tommy Call III (@tommy_III) posted a photo of a crane taking down the sign Thursday.

Bay Area News Group photographer Anda Chu made his way to the scene in time to snap a couple photos.
The computer tech company won’t go without representation among the Bay Area’s sporting venues, though, after taking over sponsorship of the Giants’ now-Oracle Park from AT&T prior to this season.
The Oakland venue and longtime home of the Warriors opened in 1966, then called the Oakland-Alameda County Arena. In 2006, it became Oracle Arena after the Warriors reached an agreement with Oracle.
There’s no word yet on what the arena will be called now that the team has left for San Francisco’s Chase Center, which it will open with a preseason game against the Lakers.
