In seating capacity, Oakland Coliseum is the smallest NFL stadium, and the 2nd smallest MLB stadium.The Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum complex consists of the stadium and the neighboring Oracle Arena.DesignThe Coliseum features an underground design where the playing surface is actually below ground level . Consequently, fans entering the stadium find themselves walking on to the main concourse of the stadium at the top of the first level of seats. This, combined with the hill that was built around the stadium to create the upper concourse, means that only the third deck is visible from outside the park. This gives the Coliseum the illusion of being a short stadium from the outside.
