Golden State Warriors Stadium In Downtown SF?

Get your pitchforks and torches ready. There's a rumor -- totally unconfirmed and just a light in Larry Ellison's beady eye at this point -- but Curbed has word, via a sports writer at Yahoo, that the Golden State Warriors, who we can only assume is some sort of basketball team of note, might move their stadium to San Francisco. Downtown San Francisco, that is. Because, really, you can never have too many drunk sports fans peeing in front of your apartment. Curbed commenters are nutting over it if you want to check it out the scene.

What building could we tear down to even make room for this thing?

P.S.You don't have to be a sports fan to pee in front of someone's apartment.

I'll ante up with the Filipino retirement home at 4th/howard. Anybody wanna raise me?

Can we change their name while we are at it? What the hell do warriors have to do with California? It should be the Golden State Peace-niks instead.

basketball team? yes. of note? no. /ducks

Building an arena in SF makes a whole lot of sense. It's tax revenue and a large venue in the city (finally) that can host indoor concerts and events. The ideal location would be near or even adjacent to the Transbay Terminal making it easy for fans in the Bay Area (and areas served by the pending bullet trains) to commute.

The Bay Area has a basketball team? Really?

Downtown SF? Fuck it. Rename.

"Nuggets" is taken? Fine. San Francisco Fog Horns. Golden State Bridges. Whatever.

My only question is: Why aren't we all nutting over it? Why the pitchforks? Are we in some bizzaro universe where AT&T Park wasn't a colossal success?

The San Francisco Assgrabbers
The San Francisco Treat

You say that like those are bad things.

Oh no, I like them all. Just think of the mascot potential.

No one actually lives downtown, what's the big deal?

;)

If it's going to be in SOMA, there has to be a Folsom element to the name. Forget the mascot, think of the uniforms.
