The Warriors plan to open their new Mission Bay arena for the 2018-19 season, but they have litigation to wade through in order to hit their mark.
Opponents of the proposed arena on Thursday filed a lawsuit in Sacramento Superior Court trying to block the project, claiming that it "ignored crippling traffic and other environmental impacts in violation of California environmental laws."
The opponents include the Mission Bay Alliance and Jennifer Wade, the mother of a six-year-old boy with a heart condition.
“The City has avoided a thorough analysis of the project by relying on environmental review documents from 18 years ago,” said Osha Meserve, an attorney representing the Mission Bay Alliance.
