Even being from Oakland I didn't imagine them as a local team, simply one from the bay as a whole.
I’m from SF and I always considered them as a Bay Area team too. They used to play here in the cow palace in their early days. Golden state warriors sounds way better than Bay Area warriors
@@gillroygarlic3616 Did u know about Town Bizz City Situation??? But I think it stemmed from The City Situation of having Katy Perry & The icecapadedes take up Cow Palace w the cattle rather den Western Conference Champ S.F. / Golden State Warriors. Oops I 4got its The NBA Finals.!!
@@jonjonbailey4314 I didn’t know that. I grew up by cow palace; I hope they renovate and don’t tear it down for a mall or ant box housing
@@gillroygarlic3616 I saw AC⚡️DC there twice in the 80s…wow, it was pretty worn down then. Awesome, too, though.
@@gillroygarlic3616 Hopefully dey don't do da same ta Coliseum. Cow Palace , Oakland Coliseum r CA Landmarks
Being from the bay area, that 11 mile difference is actually +1 hour drive with traffic and city driving. And leaving the game early has nothing to do with loyalty ... and has all to do with traffic and being stuck in the city for 2 hours.
ouch same @ Sofi stadium. They decided to "build" around housings smh... also good luck getting a parking close to the stadium. Easily 1.5 hours to get out of the stadium
Yea, that 11 miles is huge in the Bay Area dynamics.
Don't kid yourselves, Oakland wouldn't put up a dime to fix Oracle or support the surrounding neighborhood. GSW left, Raiders left and the A's just develop great players to get big contracts somewhere else. The people of Oakland support their teams, the town of Oakland has not.
I agree fa sho but do u remember Warriors on Broadway n City Center?? If dey still had Dat place when dey started Ballin itta been off Tha 🪝
Blame it all on Mayor Libby Schaaf. She has no clue about public/private partnerships and the extra revenue the sports teams draw to support local businesses.
Actually Warriors and Raiders still owe the CIty of Oakland and the Alameda coliseum authority a lot of money for the remodel of both buildings that was never paid in full. Oakland is still in court trying to get paid...........So legally they could not and should not give these sports teams more money.....
Do you realise how messed up your thinking is, these sports teams earn millions of dollars and you expect the local government to cover the bills, like it’s their pleasure hosting them.
Hey! They’re busier letting felons shoot up stores and homeless camp out in front of the courthouses
One important misconception in this vid is that the the fan base changed once the warriors moved. This is simply false - 70% of season tix holders from oracle bought their seats for chase. The demographics are actually the same. People leave chase earlier because parking and public transportation are more crowded in San Francisco. The notion that more Oakland residents went to warriors games when in Oakland has no factual basis. They’ve always been a Bay Area team.
Didn't the 49ers mover further away? as someone who doesn't live in that area I always thought the reaction to the "move" was exaggerated. Shit, if the New York Jets and Giants play in New Jersey, I dont think the warriors moving 11 miles is worth this level of discussion.
Nah the crowd is boof compared to how loud it would get in oracle
@@cristophertapia9088 never heard the word boof, searched it up and now im regretting it
@@farcry8025 Bay area slang, you must be either old or not from around here
@@aidanboutabag7465 couple hundred miles north. some ones got to change the meaning on google
Interesting stuff dude, best memories still from oracle though
@Doffy Donquixote I agree. Oracle was great, but time to make new memories at Chase!
49ers belong to sf , raiders belong to Oakland (not Vegas or LA) but warriors are Bay Area. I wish they played in cow palace.
I miss going to games at Oracle. The fans in Oakland were diehard and faithful. Oracle had been selling out consistently since way before the Warriors became a legacy team
Well, now they are selling out at Chase, and it's a way nicer venue and also in a way safer place. I saw the Warriors in the late 60s play at the Cow Palace. Old type arena, had hockey and basketball, rodeos, circuses, concerts. It could have been the Fenway Park or Wrigley Field of the NBA by now had the Warriors continued to at least play a handful of games there all these years.
@@ldfreitas9437 Folks who are still nostalgic about Oracle haven't been to Chase yet. Anyone who has gone to a game knows what an improvement the move has been, particularly the safety issue you raised. Oracle was in the WORST neighborhood of Oakland right on the corner of Murder street and Rapist alley. On the other hand, the main San Francisco police station is 1-2 blocks from Chase, so there is very little neighborhood crime.
Lived in Oakland and Sacramento my whole life. You gotta realize almost all Northern Californians looked at this team as the whole bay areas team. SF , Oakland , East bay.
You're right. I was born/raised in San Francisco, and NEVER thought of the Warriors as an Oakland team or (now) San Francisco team. They've always been a Bay Area team. The 49ers, on the other hand, ARE a San Francisco team, even though the stadium is in Santa Clara.
One item you left out of your history of the team was that for a season in the early 70's the Warriors played eleven "home" games in San Diego, apparently gauging fan interest for a move south. Also, when the current ownership group bought the team San Francisco was immediately sought as a new home site. Plans for one of the piers to be developed were seriously pursued but neighborhood opposition prevented that project. The Warriors have been and will continue to be the Bay Area's team. Of course "money" and "business" enter into it. Pro sports is a very serious business. Maximizing revenue is key in being able to operate a team. Salaries for players and staff have to be paid and teams are looking to improve the "fan experience" all the time. I'm sure there were some east bay folks who didn't want to make the cross-bay trip anymore but the team at least is still in the region. It's not like the Raiders (and possible A's) situation where they left for Las Vegas. The Bay Area still has the Warriors and will have them for many years to come.
The Warriors move to San Francisco has sucked the loudness out of the crowd. It's such a different crowd, less diversity, it's like a wake up to gentrification at its finest unfortunately. Like Roaracle Arena games in Oakland were beyond epic and legendary, fun as hell and lively as can be! But in SF it's all these billionaires and CEO's that could give 2 craps about the Warriors when not on winning streaks(mainly there for the luxuries). It's a heartbreak but I'll still visit the Dubs in SF when Covid 19 #'s go down. In the mean time, the no fans thing is an advantage to the Warriors players/coaches before the weak 2020 gentrified/watered-down SF crowd brings the half-assed energy. Regardless, Oakland or SF, Dubs til' death!
Wish they would come back
nonsense
Wasn't the move, it's the injury plagued seasons since. Open your ears this year.
@@LaborRevolution209 ears open it’s pretty tame
2022 Chase playoff crowd says otherwise
They may have money now, but lost the crowd, the craziness, the sound. We can see it in the GSW vs GRIZZ game. When they brought yellow t-shirts, no one wears them. Back in oracle arena, everyone wore them.
Sadly fax they really value money over anything
Not to me. I’ve been going to warriors games for 30-40 years. The stadiums have changed multiple times from sf to Oakland now back to sf. The fans are all basically the same. These are Bay Area fans not oaklanders or San Franciscans. They can move the stadium but folks will still drive in from San Jose, concord, Marin and San Mateo to watch the games.
(Warriors fan here) just Wanna say I’m here before you blow up bro content is good 💯🐐
The interesting part… Oakland just didn’t lose the Warriors. Lost the Raiders & Warriors with the possibility to lose the A’s too if Oakland isn’t careful.
You're so underrated bro remember me when you get big
I remember going to games at Oracle in Oakland and seeing every kind of human being on planet earth represented in the crowds and loving being a part of a real, SHARED experience. Every religious and non-religious background represented, every ethnicity and combination of ethnicities represented, every gender orientation represented. All sharing an experience. Chase is a great arena, but I’ve only been able to go once so far, and the people that I have seen who go there are mostly European descent, and I miss seeing people of Middle Eastern descent, or Hispanic, or Pacific Islanders, or Asian or African descent at the event, being part of something with me and I with them. Yes Chase still has some people representing most groups, but the numbers just aren’t the same, and that’s a loss that we all saw coming, and if you didn’t, you weren’t really thinking things through.
As great a place as Chase is, it didn’t sustain the one thing that really makes the Bay Area special, all of it’s people living together
Not to be that guy but Hispanic is European, Hispanic means people/culture related to Spain. Spain is very much part of of Europe, geographically and culturally.
Huh? Did you go to oracle to join the UN, to pray/worship or watch basketball? What's wrong with you bro - you pay all that money to watch Steph and klay, and you focus on the race of the fans in the crowd?
@@charlesfowler4308 Hispanic is also Latin America, and Latin American culture is quite different from Spanish culture
Flash forward to 2022 Warriors are in the NBA Finals...😊
That Oracle crowd was no joke. It was a true home court advantage.
love your videos man
I think once fans are allowed at Chase again, the Warriors have their full roster and fans will know the right public transportation to take to get to and out of Chase (a lot of people complained about that as well, even though there are more public transportation options to get to Chase, as opposed to Oracle where you really just had BART), Chase will rock like Oracle did.
But yes, overall I like the move. Yeah, it was a business move, but arguably it was move that needed to happen and it made sense. Oracle was getting older, and who knows how much longer the Warriors would've been able to keep playing there as it was already one of the older arenas in the NBA. Even Adam Silver admitted during one of the Warriors Finals appearances that the Warriors needed a new arena, which kind of further justified the Warriors decision move to SF. Also, if the Warriors would've stayed at Oracle, who knows if the Warriors would've eventually had to deal with the issues the A's and Raiders dealt with in Oakland for many years, and for the A's they are still dealing with regarding trying to get a new stadium built there.
But yes, not to bash Oracle, Oracle was great and the Warriors had a great thing there and they ended their tenure at Oracle and Oakland with a bang winning 3 NBA titles in 5 seasons, but it will be cool to see what they can do at Chase, and make new memories at Chase and in SF! It's almost like a new chapter in Warriors franchise history!
man also just imagine the new culture at thrive city outside chase center like if we make it deep in playoffs or finals imagne watch parties outside it would be lit like bucks fans did in deer district thats one thing oracle didnt have and also warrior fans can still drive to sf and watch games outside its no problem
That first new memory is five games away
@@ImEmpath thrive city is alive and ready for the finals
@@bhsninjl1477 yep saw that I hope it’s crowded like deer district
Nope you were wrong.
Oracle gone be missed
Basically Oakland did a thing where inflation was going up meaning they needed more money, so what did they do? They got rid of the “Oakland Raiders” They got rid of the “GS Warriors from playing at the Oracle aka the Roaracle, probably one of the loudest consistent fan bases” and 3 They’re about to get rid of the “Oakland A’s” leaving them with nothing at all.
Oracle was so close to me sucks
This is all wrong. Raiders left because Vegas financed a new stadium and Oakland could not afford to build Davis a new stadium. The Warriors left because they built their own stadium that they now own (Chase) so they don't have to rent Oracle from the City of Oakland anymore. Now they own their own $2BB stadium. The A's are leaving because of a new stadium as well. They want to build one on the waterfront, but it looks like that's not going to happen for whatever reason. Looks like the A's might be going to vegas.
Oakland politicians SUCK
city council 👎🏼
Dope video
I love Oakland man.. raise there most of my life it’s home. But the city didn’t put any effort to keep the teams here and now the A’s are on the verge of moving too.. so if you ask me each teams are just fed up.
Welcome to SF! Loved! 🥳🤗
Oracle arena and oakland will always have a place in our hearts but they needed a change.
Now that warriors had made the finals in 2022 we will see what the chase center brings in.😁😁
We lost game one hopefully game 2 will be different
Warriors are 2022 champs
although they have other events, chase center is built for basketball. not the best acoustics for concerts.
oracle was truly special.... the warriors and the A's have magic in oakland.
The teams are special, but the venues in which they play are not. Both the coliseum and stadium are old, uncomfortable, lack good amenities and need to be torn down and build better housing in the area. The last thing Oakland needs is to finance a new stadium for a sports team. they need to spend the little money they have on more cops, more housing, more homeless programs, more street/grafitti clean ups and more drug programs. The city is literally falling apart, and basketball and baseball are not the answers.
I dont really understand the "Priced out" argument. I feel like ticket pricing is more indicative of the teams success rather than the new stadium. Though the tickets to Chase center games are a bit higher than the games at oracle the few seasons before, the tickets to watch the dubs at oracle were still pretty expensive. Especially towards the last few years of their run with KD. I think people are more-so missing the ticket prices from the 2000s-early 2010s.
Personally my main gripe is the commute coming from the East Bay. I understand parking is more limited at Chase center, but theres definitely ways to get around that. Like, if you're willing to walk a few blocks, there's ways to find parking for free. Parking at Oracle was expensive too, so I'd always park in the lots/neighborhood around the bart station and walk in from there so I'm no stranger to walking a bit to get to games. If you not tryna walk a few blocks, take bart and muni. Muni will basically drop you off right in front of the arena and the cost of it plus bart will basically offset bridge tolls and gas. Idk I'm rambling, but I just really get the common narrative/arguements.
This is truly heartbreaking to me a a Bay Area sports fan. We had the 49ers in Candlestick, the Warriors, Raiders, and Athletics in Oracle/Coliseum, and we even had the Giants in there (although they still remain in SF). Now, the Raiders are gone to Gamble City, the Warriors are in SF, the 49ers don't even have Candlestick, and the Athletics are more likely now to move to the Gamble City as well. This is just sad to me. I grew up watching the 49ers at the Stick and the Warriors at Oracle. It was so surreal. Now the fact that neither of those teams are there anymore, is just crazy
Thanks for sharing this, greetings from Brazil
I would rather have the Niners in Santa Clara then have them out of the Bay Area that hurts more.
Yup, and for those old enough to remember, we also had the California Golden Seals hockey team that played at the Oakland Coliseum and occasionally at the Cow Palace. Now you have to go to San Jose to watch the Sharks play hockey
@@bartonpercival3216 still the bay’s hockey team tho.
go woke, go broke
Loved going to warrior games in Oracle. But not going to lie that I like that the new stadium is practically a few minutes drive for me.
As a resident of Oakland, i think what gets under reported is that the Warriors did attempt to get an arena in downtown Oakland. That eventually turned into hosting. Never underestimate the shenanigans of the Oakland Coliseum complex being owned by both the city of Oakland and the county of Alameda at that time. Thats many layers of politics.
Where is your proof? I know the baseball team tried to get a stadium downtown when Brown was mayor. I did not hear anything about the Warriors. I think you have the teams mixed up. Born and raised in Oakland.
@@maloney7461 jweezy78 is 100% right. And the teams he mentioned are not mixed up. The city unfortunately is notorious for not figuring out how to create new infrastracture for teams and keeping them. Theyre currently struggling with the As, and as far as I can see, theyre on the verge of losing them too. Born/raised/reside/work for the city of Oakland.
edit: Work for the city but not in politics
@@OneSmellyTaco OK, thanks. I really hope the A's stay. Bringing back the Raiders under that financial plan has been brutal for Oakland. If I am correct there is still an outstanding balance that the city of Oakland has to pay for the Raiders return.
Additional context , check the Joe Lacob interview from the point forward podcast with André Iguodala around 24:30 mark , Lacob addresses this topic and confirmed 5 attempted meetings with the mayor. Based on timing I’m pretty sure he’s talking about Mayor Quan but he doesn’t mention her by name
I think dey should play dey preseason games n Thz Town juz fa da East Bay Love
The warriors represent the whole of Bay Area, i think it’s pretty clear no matter where their home in the bay is.
As long as the team is winning, it will sell out, if not, wont sell out
2:05 Ahhhh the 70s, a simpler time where ur allowed to chief butts in the crowd lolol
I've rubbed shoulders with Oakland local politicians several times. Those running the city are inexperienced, manipulative, and petty. They once shut down a charter school that was focusing on quality education for kids who made an effort, it had a graduation rate of over 80% and 40% going to college. The city of Oakland shut it down, because "It wasn't fair" but really it was making the other school look bad.
wokeness you have to love it
Cow Palace is in Daly City, not SF.
Chase center did not have the same energy or “thrill” like oracle arena! They should just rebuilt oracle and have two arenas to play in- commute and parking was hard in chase center as well. I miss oracle arena :(
Welcome Back to The NBA finalssss Golden State Warriors 🔥
Aaaand one year later and the NBA is the warriors world again
its a smart move by management. sf is a big tourist spot and warriors are now popular around the world.
Isn’t it just gentrification? Rich people probably didn’t want to go to Oracle because of the distance?
That what they get more money less people going to come what do they think or who do they think we are the one percent
I miss oracle but come on it’s a old arena. Teams have to move into the future.
What does that even mean? Destroy real Fans to have Fans on the moon?
@@Joshuaeway03 SF is an inch away from the Oakland
@@myweirdsecondchannelwithap9070 What is the average Income Level in Oakland and SF? Then See Who is on the Moon.
@@Joshuaeway03 lmao ur talking nonsense that doesn't address his point at all
The vast majority of the games the Warriors played between 1962 and 1966 were in San Francisco. In fact, all the 1965-66 season the home games were at the San Francisco Civic Auditorium, not the Cow Palace. They had a few games now and then at the San Jose Civic and Oakland Civic between 1962 and 1965, even at the University of San Francisco gym. Most of the games were at the Cow Palace overall until 1971, and half the games were at the Cow Palace between 1966 and 1971. Now the Warriors have won an NBA Championship in San Francisco in 2022, and they sold out most of the games in 2021-22!
I think that this video coming out in 2020 played a big role in why they said that Chase had a worse vibe compared to Oracle. It was their first season (and one of their worst seasons), so the energy would naturally be lower. I think the 2022 victory was the season where Chase began to feel more like home for the Warriors.
They just won again champions 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 2022
For entity to grow and evolve it has to adapt to necessary change. Look what happened with BLOCKBUSTER(could of bought netflix for cheap couple of millions) and KODAK(original company to bring digital camera)
Well back in the late 70s 80s the warriors were playing in San Francisco at the Cow Palace and had jerseys that says San Francisco so they were the San Francisco warriors back in the day until they found an arena which was in Oakland but it don't matter them being in Oakland or San Francisco being from the Bay Area born and raised we only have one basketball team and so everybody in that area came together and Rudy for that one team but people from San Francisco when it came to the other teams like that 49ers and Giants that was a fanbase Oakland A's Oakland Raiders was the city of Oakland fanbase so yeah you don't matter if they were still in Oakland or what you know that's my team I love the Golden State Warriors forever
Second: Even Lacob will tell you he could get the SAME sponsorship money in Oakland. Dude. Oakland and SF are basically one city separated by a bridge! I live in Oakland. You do not. I will make my own video to correct this crap.
yeah but your city would flourish with the money these teams that are leaving brought yet they would never fix the communities around, as much as these pro teams brought revenue to the cities as well as donating. Leaving a game to go get food and having half of the restaurants or franchises be drive thru only with 20 cop cars and coroners and ambulances on standby for shootings is not a look you want being a legendary franchise. All the sports teams were patient with the city of Oakland but your city councelmen let y'all down. It's sad af I loved going to Oracle Arena and the vibe, but the city itself did not care enough to better the communities around.
Yeah, but seperated by a pretty long bridge, and to be honest, Oracle was getting old, and it sat in a crappy run down area. At least the new Chase Center in Mission Bay is in a more upscale area. 👍
Besides that, warriors shouldn’t draft Kobe, James worthy and Michael Jordan to join Oakland warriors, sad
Wait Warriors was an Oakland team?
I always looked at the Warriors as a bay area team
Love Oracle, but it was old and grimy af
The best thing ever
But me being all out West Oakland n people saying how outdated Tha Coliseum was/is. Can I let u know Dat Oakland Coliseum os/was the only Park/Stadium/Arena where u can go without having to park n fuss
Hate It, it’s nothing like playing in the town
The true fans aren't the wealthiest, they are the one that truly love the game. Oakland has more true and native Californians while San Francisco has more transplants who can afford tickets but are devoted to the team.
More like 25 miles from location of Oracle in Oakland to Chase Center in South beach area in San Francisco. Not 11 miles. The Oakland Bay Bridge is over 6 miles on it's own
As a resident of Oakland who works in downtown SF, it is physically 11 miles from Oracle, but it’s not direct mileage if you’re driving , it’s 17 miles when accounting for freeway, bridge, etc
1st off me livin n Tha mist of it all being a Oaktown Bizz cat n being 80s baby know Nathan but Tha Oakland Alameda County Coliseum Arena it was Tha Shiznit!!!
💔😢
I wonder how this video holds up today. Did they make that money this year?
They need back play 10 games in season in oakland s frisco1962 -1971 oakland 1971-2019 from 2019 in frisco
They were the S F Warriors who played at Cow Palace originally!!
And the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium and USF's War Memorial Gymnasium.
It is very inconvenient for me to drive to the city and deal with the traffic and parking. I do not think I will go to the games as frequently as I used to in Oakland.
As an Oakland fan I'm sad, but I don't take the move personally. The Warriors fan base is spread throughout the Bay, so I don't blame them for chasing the most lucrative of those fans. I'm far more upset about the Raiders (who screwed over Oakland taxpayers for Mt. Davis) and the A's (almost doubling their ticket & parking prices while trading away fan favorites and openly flirting with Las Vegas).
Owners fault
Silicon valley is the silicon valley for a reason... Now it's one of the best places to live even though cost of living is through the roof... Ppl are willing to sacrifice just to live in silicon valley... Same goes for the GSW franchise, in able to be the best NBA team(business) in the league they have to make it the best and that's SF plain and simple... SF has so much to offer, no matter who, what, or where SF is one of the most majestic city to live in
It's awesome
Im new to nba and can see that Oracle was far better.
Yeah the capacity to oracle is 19,596 while chase is only 18,064
This video did not age well.
But I'm not surprised.
So we not going to talk about kezar stadium. What Y'ALL tryna do rewrite history... as a native of San Francisco since 1987 your video is not 100% true is good for a video but try again
feel like oracle has the better atmosphere. people stand up when the splash bro shoot threes even before it goes in or it misses. chase doesnt have that. it dont feel lively
At some point in time, they were bound to move to a new arena. And they already did. Now if you were a real fan of the team, you would do anything, and I mean ANYTHING, to watch games at the new arena since 11 miles is not that far.
Wait the warriors showed no loyalty by leaving Oakland, but if I get mad we are not loyal ? Doesn’t make sense
@@ricardoescobar7713 and what did Oakland do to try to keep the Warriors? Absolutely nothing. Loyalty goes both ways.
@@dancsaldana Joe and Peter bought the team with intentions to move them to San Francisco. They never even gave Oakland a chance.
@@ricardoescobar7713 Joe and Peter bought the team so they could make $$$. It’s the NBA, it’s a business.
Also Oakland didn’t even try to fight to keep them? Didn’t see any effort come from the city, nothing.
Same with the Raiders, and pretty soon with the A’s if they can’t figure out that Howard Terminal Ballpark. 🤷♂️ No one wants to play in Oakland, and clearly Oakland doesn’t want a team to stay.
@@dancsaldana No Energy at Chase Center for A Reason... The Fans are not Lit as in Oakland. 6th man is gone. What Good is the move if home court Fans Leave showing the players they are not loyal. Almost Luke A Gold Digger. Yet Greed is what you advocate for
what is 11 miles between friends?
Dude imagine a UFC event at chase center omg that would be insane
wokeness doesn't like masculinity
This may have to do with the same reason the Raiders left, and the state of California didn't want to lose the championship team when they just wants the Raiders to Los Vegas.
The fact is at Oracle Arena was part of the oakland-alameda sports complex which was all built in 1962, which makes the arena out of date compared to today's standards seeing the fact that most NBA arenas are much larger than what they were back in 1960, and have far more box seats.
Plus I don't think the fan base is much different, because and 11 miles difference would have been well within their fan market, meaning a great view of Warriors fans are from San Francisco.
Also most teams don't compete for hardcore fans they compete for sales within a given market which can spend anywhere from a single city to several US states. TV contracts are what teams care about the most, and how much money they can make off the market. Doesn't matter how long since they became so long as the team is making money. This is why shity NFL teams that win 2 a year like the Browns can stay in the same city for years, because people still watch the Browns and buy their merchandise even with year of losing, and the Browns will still never leave Cleveland.
I wouldn't say It was a "Massive" disappointment (Atleast for me). I was more disappointed when the 49ers moved to Santa Clara. Warriors are just where they belong now. City of Champions SFC for life!
Damn didn’t know they only moved 11 miles
Like the 49s of San Francisco playing in Santa Clara
Oracle was an old stadium tho that’s why they transferred tho..
Best move ever!!!
Next video will be how San Francisco lost the 49ers to San Jose, I guess?
I live in Oakland. Chase Center is closer to me than Oracle. This is stupid, they've always been the Bay's team.
Yeah 96-97 n San Jose yea n den when dey came back ta da Town Sprewell All-Time GSW Hoop great lightweight checked the coach pulse. Most Oaktown Bizz move n sports ever n my lifetime. Some folks ain't even know where Golden State was! Even though that is their ignorance
They were never the Oakland Warriors. They have the Oakland A's and they had the Oakland Raiders--but the Warriors are officially the Golden State Warriors. Also teams do this all the time. The Niners played in SF until 2014 when they moved south (further than the Warriors move) to Santa Clara, but they're still officially The SF 49ers. I think people need to get over it.
Missing that Oakland energy!
N I bet it's more inconvenient getting ta da game 4 most people on team who I bet lived in East Bay
Love the warriors and I love the eastbay San Francisco fans r alot different from. My eastbay fans we r diehard fans
It’s definitely not “hardcore fans issue” I’m from Oakland and I’ve been a fan of the warriors since the 04 season I was lucky enough to go to many regular season games playoffs games finals tailgates etc at oracle,I was lucky enough to go to some games over here at the chase center,now let me tell you something “11 miles” may not seem much but in reality getting out that place is light traveling from the earth to the moon because there’s so much traffic in that small area,trust me I’d love to stay but damn if I’m sitting in traffic for 2hrs when I can listen to the game on SirusXM on the way home. Chase center is nice as I got to roam around for a bit but the energy isn’t as tuff as roaracle it wasn’t as loud and there are a lot of new warriors fans who are kids just sitting on there phones so it will never match up to those old days at the oracle palace
Maybe next year
I hope soon that the Golden State warriors will go back to Oakland
Same
Same here. Now that the Raiders are gone and probably won’t come back to Oakland ever again, and the A’s might be moving, hopefully the Warriors move back. Probably the main reason why I became a fan.
Same bro
Warrior never made it back to the playoffs after they left Oakland this move was the about owners no attendance problem
Even if the move was close
@@alijaharmyreacts6838 Fans Are Old Senior citizens we have no Fan base Have you seen the Playoffs
The Fans are left in the Regular Season
@@Joshuaeway03 it’s not easy to get to “ on time” especially for 6pm games now that there’s traffic in the city again, likely better crowd start during weekend games
This movie was about social environment, not money. I like the guy that created this video though because he was honest and saying that it isn’t clear if they’re really making more money, which I believe they aren’t. I’ve worked in transportation for over two decades the Silicon Valley/San Francisco fan base aren’t from here they grew up rooting for different teams and they rather stay home in their $2 million condo and watch the game than spend $500 bucks on a ticket ( I’ve been told that multiple times; I’m not spending that). The Warriors actually have a $25 ticket List during the season “ Google it if you don’t believe me” The last 7 to 10 years you could never get an oracle for $25 not even in the nose bleeds. Once again this was about social environment not money.
They should have never left SF in the first place. Glad they are back in SF. Hopefully they call them the San Francisco Warriors again
Locals always saw they as a Bay Area team anyways. Never a specific city. Anyone who grew up here would tell you that.
Chase Center is NOT THE SAME. Did you see the fans the other day Game 1 of the Finals?
I thought they were in San Francisco in the 60s
Sorry I ain’t from the States but I only knew now that Oakland is not in San Francsico but at the opposite end.
I think it sucked but it’s still in Cali so we good. Oakland Cali we had you over the top but now it’s time to San Fran back to the top to compete with Seattle NW
Their in the finals now
Recap how did Oakland lost the Warriors and the raiders
the bay and even most of NorCal share the warriors. it doesn't matter where they play
Money hungry owners wanted their own arena because they felt like they were paying rent to play at Oracle arena but you can't blame the city of Oakland for keeping their venue
Actually the complex was owned by both Oakland and the county of Alameda. If the Warriors don’t build and own their own arena, they don’t get the increased value and cash flow. They are currently 147 million in luxury taxes this year alone (above the actual salaries) no way can they afford to keep Steph, Klay, Dray, Wiggs being content as a renter in Oakland
The real true fans can’t afford watching at the new SF arena
