Winning an NBA championship before starting the next season 23-0 is providing the Golden State Warriors with plenty of perks, including steps to get a new arena built in San Francisco.
According to Carolyn Tyler of ABC 7, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted 10-0 to approve an environmental impact report.
San Francisco mayor Ed Lee released a statement, per J.K. Dineen of the San Francisco Chronicle, proclaiming his excitement at the vote and at potentially bringing the Warriors back to San Francisco:
This new, privately financed, state-of-the-art Golden State Warriors event center rounds out Mission Bay as an incredible and diverse ecosystem of technology, health care, science and, now, entertainment.
