After 41 years Oakland’s
Golden State Warriors will be back in San Francisco in 2017. In 1962
the Warriors left Philadelphia and move to Daly City right outside of
San Francisco to play at the Cow Palace. The Warriors moved to
Oakland -Alameda County Coliseum Arena in 1966,
but the move didn’t become permanent until the Oakland Coliseum was
renovated and renamed the Oracle Arena this was in 1971. That is when
the Warriors became the Golden State Warriors. The new sight for the
Golden State Warriors is going to be in San Francisco’s waterfront
district at the foot of the Bay Bridge at Piers 30-32. This project
is going to be good for San Francisco it will bring much needed jobs
to the city. It is being funded privately at a cost of $300 million
to $500 million. That is also good because the people of San
Francisco won’t have to pay extra taxes. This new arena could have
some great concerts and other events there. Some of the draw backs of
this project would be the city of Oakland would be losing a lot of
jobs. Will the people of Oakland be able to get jobs at the new arena and help build it? What about the traffic? What if there is a Giants
game at the same time the Warriors are playing? I sure would hate to
be in that traffic. Over all this seems like a good move maybe this
might help the Warriors become a winning team again. Don’t hold
your breath.
