Warriors to Move Back to San Francisco?

When the Warriors moved from Philly to the Bay Area, they did not just move right to Oakland. They were originally in San Francisco from 1962 until 1971 when they moved to the East Bay. Then they became the Golden State Warriors as anything sounds better than Oakland being in front of it (Oh Snap). Now it seems that the Warriors want back in the city of San Francisco and there seems to be a plan to get them relocated. The team along with San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, and NBA Commissioner David Stern announced that they intend to move back to San Francisco as early as 2017. It seems that the location in mind is around pier 30-32 which is near the the Bay Bridge and the estimated cost right now is $500 million for this privately funded arena.

A big announcement for the team and the city of San Francisco. Now it still seems like it is in the developmental stage and there are a lot of obstacles in the way but if it does get done then it would bring in a lot of revenue for the city. The money coming in won't just be from the Warriors fans but from other events like concerts. As for Oakland and the East Bay, the only thing that I can tell you is that it's not a done deal yet but it doesn't look good. The city and the area has teams wanting to leave and none wanting to come in. Could it be possible that Oakland won't have any sports teams?

I wouldn't jump on that boat yet. The only thing I can say to the East bay is if you want to keep your sports teams, make your voices heard and your ticket sales even louder.
