SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) — The Golden State Warriors formerly announced plan to build their new arena in San Francisco’s Mission Bay neighborhood on Tuesday morning and Rick Welts, the team’s president and chief of operations, said that while the new site lacks a view of the Bay, the new site has everything needed.
The Warriors reached a deal with Salesforce.com to purchase a 12-acre site bounded by Third, 16th and South streets and Terry Francois Blvd.

The area referred to as the “inland site” sits about a block from the Bay. Fenced in and overgrown with weeds, the plot is zoned for office space but will also include about 75,000 square feet of retail—mostly restaurants – serving Warriors fans and people going to concerts and other events at the 18,0000-seat arena.
Warriors President Rick Welts visited the KCBS on Tuesday morning saying it already has a Muni T-line stop right in front. “In addition to that, we have much better access than we did at the other site from the South Bay—on I-280, which has an off-ramp that will land about two blocks from the arena,” he said.

“The Central Subway is kind of the luckiest component of this, from a transportation standpoint. When that opens in 2018, East Bay residents in particular, can take BART to Powell Street Station, never leave the stations, transfer to the Central Station and take that directly to our site.”
Welts said the shift in plans also gives the Warriors stability since they would own the land.
