Upside is that a new arena is a great thing for the city. They had better up the capacity of the T- Line, imagine home Giants and Warriors games on the same day!

I kind of agree, though the Pier design wasn't going to happen...

So depressing to lose that gorgeous Bay Bridge interior view from the last proposal...

You only have to worry about the overlap in April and May(when/if team makes the playoffs)

I really like this new stadium. I think the design looks great!

John King is positive about the location and design so far. he thinks it will enliven the area in a way the neighborhood needs. hope he's right. it still feels like an awkward location to me.

If John King likes something, then its pretty much the uncoolest thing since the snuggie.

I remember his commentary a few years ago praising the architectural wonders of.. Target stores.

Like most others on the forum I think everyone would have preferred the location next to the Bay Bridge, but there really are not many places in SF that an arena wouldn't feel awkward. I think next to the dinosaur of a Stadium & in te middle of a huge parking lot was awkward enough. I think over time it will feel like the location debate will just end up being a non-issue. <fingers crossed>

It would seem to me that if the sky club were moved to the other endzone you could still have a view of the bay and possibly the bridge, granted it would be farther away.

New Warriors Arena Renderings: The Restaurants And Boulevard
March 17, 2015

New renderings of the Golden State Warriors proposed Mission Bay Arena provide a better idea of the project’s proposed street-level design and pedestrian experience, including the restaurants and retail which would line Terry Francois Boulevard and the Food Hall at the corner of Terry Francois and South Street.

The detailed designs for the Westside of the arena development fronting Third Street, which includes two office towers and the main plaza rendered below, are slated to be presented next month.

Thanks for providing the renderings. The project looks great, but I'm not sure if I am reading this correctly. Is that extra wide white tube arch structure over and near the theater entrance something easy to climb?

I don't believe you can climb that far. The area you can climb to can be seen in the rendering above the "Food Hall"

JWS · #**193** Posted **Mar 18, 2015, 5:06 PM**

One of my concerns, which honestly is a concern for Mission Bay as a whole, is how wide and large the retail frontages and floorplates continue to be. The really successful commercial corridors in our area tend to have very narrow and deep storefronts, so that one block can have potentially dozens of retail options, as well as smaller and creative businesses being able to occupy them. In virtually all Mission Bay (and Rincon Hill for that matter) developments, the retail components only have, like, 4-8 spaces per block (maybe 1 or 2 per development). That makes it hard for interesting, smaller businesses, and very, very, very easy for Walgreens/CVS, banks, etc. If we are trying to provide a vibrant commercial area for residents and visitors alike, I am just worried we are creating floorplates that will inhibit such growth.

Rail>Auto · #**194** Posted **Mar 18, 2015, 7:34 PM**

No view of the bay from the court. Interesting decision.

While the intended built reality may indeed be unclimbable, the rendering of the arch appears to me to be ladder like especially at the column post.

There may be other overriding constraints that prevent narrow and deep storefronts at these locations.

honestly, i love so much of the architecture of our current era of design, but when i see stuff like this it just looks dystopian.

matthew2109 · #**200** Posted **Apr 11, 2015, 10:08 PM**

Man alive I really like this design. Yes the pier rendering was super sweet but I really didnt think that would ever happen. Will the type of fans change? Like the Oracle is in Oakland...this will be in SF.
