The Bill Graham Civic Auditorium (formerly San Francisco Civic Auditorium)[1] is a multi-purpose arena in San Francisco, California, currently named after promoter Bill Graham. The arena holds 7,000 people and was built in 1915 as part of the Panama–Pacific International Exposition.
The 1920 Democratic National Convention was held in the hall and it was the home of the San Francisco Warriors of the National Basketball Association, from 1964 to 1966.[2][3] The World Cyber Games 2004 were held in the civic auditorium.
The arena has hosted concerts by many famous artists, spanning many different genres. It is owned by the City of San Francisco and since 2010 has been operated by Another Planet Entertainment,[4] generating about $100,000 in leasing revenue for the city annually.[5]
