Warriors ditch Piers 30-32 for Mission Bay arena site

View media item 930523
(04-21) 12:54 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- The Golden State Warriors have abandoned their plan to build an arena on Piers 30-32 just south of the Bay Bridge and instead have purchased a site in Mission Bay to hold their new 18,000-seat venue, sources close to the deal have confirmed to The Chronicle.

The Warriors bought the 12-acre site from Salesforce.com for an undisclosed amount in a deal that was inked Saturday night. The team plans to have the arena ready for the 2018-19 NBA season

The shift in location provides the team with predictability, fewer regulatory hurdles and eliminates the need for voter any approval.

It should also assuage the project's most vocal critics, who opposed building a 120-foot high arena on Piers 30-32 over concerns about traffic, environmental impacts during construction and blocked views of the Bay Bridge.

The Mission Bay site, where Salesforce originally planned to locate its corporate campus, will have a planned waterfront park across from the arena, has a Muni T-Third stop right in front of it, and already has two adjacent parking garages that can hold a combined 2,130 cars.

When the Central Subway opens - projected for 2018, the year the Warriors' plan to open the arena - the line will provide essentially a straight shot to the Powell Street Muni/BART station downtown.

The Warriors will own the site outright, rather than leasing it from the Port of San Francisco, and say they arena will be entirely privately financed - perhaps the first sports venue of its kind in the country that use no taxpayer tax-payer funds or public land.

The new site does not, however, have the stunning views of the Bay Bridge, instead looking out onto a dry dock, anindustrial pier and rusting old pilings that dot the water.
 
New stadium near AT&T Park.

Exactly what I was hoping for since day 1.
 
I always thought it made more sense to put the stadium south of AT&T. The original location seemed way too cluttered.
 
I don't know if anybody looks, but it's crazy how much different the pricing is for the games. I was curious because I noticed Mistah FAB at the game, so I decided to look at the prices. Where he was the seats are around $500-$600, at Staples. At Oracle, they're being sold for around $800.
 
assuming the warriors move to sf, I wonder how much more expensive tickets will be now that gsw games will be just an event for schmoozing

regardless, it'll have inflated prices just because it's a new arena.

and I like the new spot, traveled to AT&T park once and didn't like the public transportation to get there. Get out at embarcadero bart and then take the muni back towards the ballpark. at least with this spot I can just take the T train down and there's barely anything there, mostly industrial spots and further down is the dogpatch.

definitely some redesigns coming, the old spot's highlight was the bay bridge, now without a view comparable to that one it'll probably change that big window/skylight thing they had.
