SFO vs OAK(for travel to Berkeley)

I was thinking about traveling to Berkeley sometime in the near future to attend a concert at the Greek theater at the college. I was wondering what is a better airport to arrive in the SF area(SFO or OAK) if I plan to just be in the Berkeley area for a concert only. I'm from SAT. I know United is the only airline at SAT that has non stop to SFO but not SWA or Delta or AA

OAK is definitely smaller than SFO and quicker to get in/out of, but I don't know how either is located in relation to where you are going.

Oakland is a little closer to Berkeley (and you don't have to go through the SF traffic). Southwest has a larger operation in Oakland than in San Francisco; unfortunately, I don't believe there is a non-stop from Oakland to San Antonio, so you will have to connect. As far as flying United goes...good luck with that lol.
