San Francisco mayor wants the Warriors back.

[acidicality]

It was pretty much a foregone conclusion once Lacob bought the team, very expected.

Looks like Oakland is gonna lose all of their teams.

[jecca650]

hell yeah. get rid of the name too! No more golden state bs. San Francisco Warriors!

 

[memphisboi55]

Damn, now I gotta pay a toll fee to see a Warriors game -_-

Was so convenient going to Oracle, not congested, easy access.

Now gotta deal with this.

O well, long as the Grizzlies win when they come to town.

You're in Fairfield, right? The toll on Carquinez woulda got you anyway. You just have to pay twice now, unless you use Golden Gate going home.

2017.

2017 you say? watch 5 years fly by like nothing

 

[bruce waynee]

BART & Cal-train + 1000 parking spaces is more than enough to transport people to the arena especially since its about 20,000 fans compared to a baseball game which has twice the amount of spectators.
Can't wait to see some of the renderings 

 

[iamchris]

Wow that's doooope! SAN FRANCISCO WARRIORS!

 

[downyboy]

Oakland needed to step up for their teams and they simply don't. They better not change the name.

 

[Animal Thug]

I actually enjoyed when it was in Oakland too

.

I enjoyed the drive from SF to Oakland, the wing-stop right around the corner, and being right there in Oakland was so convenient like memphis said.

I doubt they'll change the name though, most definitely should stay 'Golden State' if they want to retain most of the Oakland fanbase.

Damn, Oakland is on the verge of losing all their teams though

.

Actually a lot of people don't. Changing the name to San Francisco Warriors will help imo.

What do you mean a lot of people don't? Given the reach of the team and their popularity all over the bay (i.e. north, south, east)...how wouldn't people associate them with the Bay?

What i mean is a lot of People outside of California don't know what city the Warriors play in. A name change to San Francisco would help.

 

[sensaciondelbloque]

bring back the retro 'SAN FRANCISCO' uniforms and have a SF type half court logo ala Niners

 

[lazyj10]

That's the point. People outside California associate them with the Bay Area. Not Oakland, not SF.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

This is where they want to build it

^ Off Embarcadero??
..Or is that 3rd street?

Embarcadero. Pier 32-33

 

[savraj1]

Where would the parking structure go? That lot looks small.

 

[lazyj10]

Those piers are slightly smaller than the plot Pac Bell was built on
