Warriors aren't going anywhere. They are the only bball team in Bay Area. It's

There's room to build an arena by AT&T?

Santa Clara gave them an incredible deal. And they wanted to be closer to the tech giants

Huh alright. Still a dumb move.

Yeah it sure is weird. I live here. Santa Clara is not a tourist town. Neither is San Jose. It's a weird fit.

Cool, I was born, raised and lived in SC/San Jose for 40 years. It's not like SC

It's still weird. Very few nearby hotels and in a boring area. No restaurants, bars, or night life of any kind

NFL teams host 8 games a year. Not 40+

jholling

They host a lot more than just NFL games. For example: the Pac12 championship game which has been

Well come on, not many cities in the nation can compare to SF when talking

Chick fil a isn't too far as well.

jholling

4/24/17 10:45pm

Cool.

Not at all. Levi's Stadium is literally across the street from their practice

Kerbouchard

4/24/17 10:06pm

Corporate Sponsors and Luxury Suites. That is why they are in Santa Clara. My

jholling

4/24/17 10:06pm

They're there because of the deal the city offered. Luxury suites would have

Not really, but they're going to anyway

A's getting ready to announce they are building a new stadium in Oakland.

They sell out every game. No way they are moving.

Except they are.

Seaward

4/24/17 9:31pm

Yea across the bay. Not 8 hours away.

allaboutthegainz

4/24/17 9:32pm

Vegas is only an 8-hour drive away from Oakland?

chilango

4/24/17 9:34pm

8 hours 32 minutes says google.

allaboutthegainz

4/24/17 9:37pm

Surprising. I thought it was much further.

chilango

4/24/17 9:38pm

SF is as far south as Cedar City, and Reno is further west than San Diego

Not out of market

With NFL and NHL, Vegas is now approaching a maxed out point to support

cwilke1

4/24/17 9:34pm

Oakland is a much better market for the a's than LV

Josef K

Crazy the Raiders couldn't get it done

Bonoman

4/24/17 10:43pm

Oakland isn't going to build two stadiums. They had to choose whether to support

I heard next summer

Funke

To Vegas?! Haha, that's funny. Jazz will move to Vegas before Warriors do.

That's what people said about Seattle.

crazY

4/24/17 10:17pm

Seattle's not the 6th largest TV market in the country either.

Kerbouchard

4/24/17 10:22pm

Well not anymore. I'm pretty sure they were before the Sonics got taken away.

crazY

4/24/17 10:24pm

LOL.. say what?

LiveCoug

I'm pretty sure Seattle was a top 6 TV market before the Sonics got taken away.

crazY

not sure what you mean by top 6 market, but I think Kerbouchard is referring to

Josef K

Yup. They were 14 then and 14 now
