We thought of it a couple of days ago and its coming to fruition. We couldnt ask for a better experience. Pittsburgh is a great city. Everyones saying, are you nervous, are you nervous . No, im excited. Im thrilled for sharks fans. I remember going to games in the cal palace. Hockey has developed so well in san jose and the greater bay area. Reporter did you guys read between the lines on the commissioners sound bite right there . He clearly wants the shark point, isnt it obvious .

They didnt wait for the game to start before they began to party. Reporter the party began at 2 00 this afternoon at plaza caesar chavez. It was 85 degrees but that didnt keep people from sporting their sharks sweaters. The sweater, really . Got to represent the sharks for the fans. Were ready for the finals tonight. Reporter son tyler knows there are two big games today. So he wanted to represent both of them. Im really happy that both teams have gotten as far as they have. Im proud of both franchises for being able to get to this point. Reporter these diehards have been waiting 25 years for this moment. That was enough reason to get a new sharks hat or tshirt. After all, its their first chance to see their favorite players skate for one of the most prestigious trophies in sports. There is a wager between the mayor of san jose and the mayor of pittsburgh.

Thanks, damian. Ticket prices are sky high. Average price for a ticket to game 3, 624. Game 4 at the shark tank, even higher, 648. Average price for game 1 in pittsburgh tonight, 220 bucks. To be fair, the penguins won the stanley cup final in 2009 so this is not as massive a deal as it is in sharks history. What a day, the warriors also have a lot on the line tonight. Golden state trying to punch their ticket to the nba finals with a game 7 win against the Oklahoma City thunder. Well have a live report from oracle in ten minutes.

He also spoke to 200 people inside the church earlier today, stressing economic equality and improved access to education. Senator Bernie Sanders struck a chord inside this baptist church. Sitting down with us, senator sanders talked to us about how his message of closing the wage and education gap is resonating with bay area voters. Most people understand the technology has changed the nature of education. We have got to make Public Education include free tuition at public colleges and universities. The fact that he comes to east oakland means a lot to me. A lot of candidates wont come out and hear from people and let us hear from them. Reporter he says he wants to give democrats a choice as we approach the california primary. Weve seen a huge uptick in voter registers. Young people, latinos, are getting involved in the democratic process. I think thats good for democracy. Reporter oakland representative barbara lee is a member here at Allen Temple Baptist church.

The issue of veterans needs and the families of those who walk their lives is something that has always been of importance to me. Thats why im here. Reporter and your opponent is on the east coast. I dont want to get political right now, okay . I would have made the decision that he wouldnt speak. Reporter wallace lev insaid he had to lay down the law with sanders staff. I convinced them it was better for him not to speak because it shows he really cares. Reporter after the ceremony is around could have talked politics. But he didnt. Were here to remember the sacrifices of those who gave their lives and their families. Thank you. Thats all i would like to say. He took a step back from politics and made it about the veterans.

The sharks in the stanley cup final, the warriors in a do or die game 7, just about an hour from tipoff at oracle. Ian cull is out there. Ian, i was out there for game one of the series. In all honesty, the crowd was flat. What vibe are you getting tonight . Reporter we got a lot of fans coming in here tonight. Oracle is going to be rocking. This is the first time in 40 years that the warriors have hosted a game 7. The fans know it. Theyre starting to trickle in here, many paying upwards of 400, up to several thousand dollars on the secondhand market to be closer to the court to have their ticket. The fans were having a tailgate party. They know whats at stake. Warriors are trying to do what few have done, come back and win a series after being down 31. Lebron james and the cavs await the winner. Fans are confident the dub nation will be successful tonight. Its over. Reporter that confident . That confident. Theyll have to come out of the gate pretty quick. As long as that happens, well be good. Reporter an incredible series. The dub nation felt a new low. Now the team is back with all the momentum. After winning 73 games and smashing some records, many of the fans are saying that it wont mean much unless the warriors can win the title once again. Well have a game recap with many of these fans tonight at 11 00 on nbc bay area. Live at oracle, ian cull, nbc bay area news. Ian, thank you. Most people will be indoors tonight watching these two games. But earlier today, a Beautiful Day to honor vets on this memorial day. It was certainly hotter inland. At the coastline we also had the fog lingering around. A mixed bag no matter where you are across the bay area. Lets go ahead and get a look at the microclimate forecast. You can see right now across the bay area, those contrasts being developed again by the fog at the coastline. Thats putting us at 67 in San Francisco for the east bay, hotter 92. The south bay getting a slight wind from the coastline. Thats why its not as warm as the east bay. Tomorrow morning, well start off mostly clear here, at the bay area. Fog in San Francisco and 53. As we head throughout tuesday, temperatures will warm up a few degrees. That will put us in accupunctcut 93. For the coast, well stay in the 60s for tomorrow. That will put pacifica at 69. Pa palo alto, 64. For the tri valley, beautiful weather in napa, 89 degrees. Oakland, a comfortable 76. The hottest weather across the tri valley, with 95 expected in livermore, 94 in pleasanton. You know were in for hotter weather this week, thats what i want to focus in on next. This area of High Pressure will stay in place throughout the next five days. But the key component that will likely get us up to 100 degrees this week will be a dry offshore wind building. It looks like thats going to start to build in place once we hit fridays forecast. I want to focus in on that, because friday is going to be the day where we have the chance here of some 100degree heat across the region, also increased fire danger and lowering humidity. Here is how it looks, once we hit the hottest day this week on friday. 100 expected in walnut creek. This will also put San Francisco at 77 degrees. And also our beaches in the low 70s. So lets go ahead and get an overall look at how that trend is going to shape up for the upcoming weekend forecast. You can see while well have 99 in the south bay on friday, well start to see things cool on saturday to 95, then eventually dropping down to our biggest decrease on sunday with 88 expected in the south bay, east bay 75, and the north bay 81. Since of course this is called a weather forecast, i want to take it into the forecast for the potential of maybe some late season june rain, maybe some showers on june 5th, and the 6th. But a better chance right now of a possible storm that could bring a quarter inch of rain on the 9th and the 10th. Ill closely monitor these, its a long way out, but a sign of unusual weather coming our way. Thanks so much. Coming up, a twohour chase in Southern California caught on camera. You can watch as it comes to a dramatic conclusion. Were still waiting for president ial candidate Bernie Sanders to appear in oakland. Hes expected to take the stage at any moment. Those are the steps of city hall. The crowd is between 10 and 15,000 people right now. This is the third bay area stop for sanders so far today. Hes got more coming in the coming days. New video tonight of a high speed chase that had the chp crisscrossing l. A. County for two hours. It started in southgate when a man began driving the stolen suv recklessly. He even through paper out of the paper and sideswiped other cars. The chp arrested him after he stopped on the 405 in long beach. Memorial day weekend is coming to a close. You can tell that on our roadways. Take a live look at 80 in emeryville and the 680 in dublin. Right now it looks pretty darn wide open. It promises to get busier in the next few hours as travelers return from all over california, just in time for the sharks and later on the warriors. We went on a ridealong with the chp, out on checkpoints to keep drivers safe. 24 people have died on our roads since friday, more than half of those not wearing seatbelts. Unnecessary tragedy. Coming up, well take you to the tributes across the bay area for our vets. Then a rare sight that might want to make you take a closer look at the sky tonight. Honoring our fallen heroes. Today the bay area paid tribute to the brave men and women who fought and died for our freedom. In the south bay, an annual memorial day that paid tribute to veterans and their families. San joses oak hill memorial park, the citys annual memorial day program. Veterans tell us they hope more people will take time to remember Service Members who made the ultimate sacrifice. Events like this help educate people who night not otherwise notice or think about what has been given by people who were their age at one time and were in service. Now to gilroy where hundreds of Community Members lined the streets for the citys memorial day parade. Organizers say the event celebrates gilroys culturally diverse community. Youll be able to see mars at the closest distance its been to earth in 11 years. Mars and earth get relatively close to each other every two or so years. But the distances vary because of different orbits. Most time jupiter is the brightest planet in the night sky but mars will rival jupiter in the next few days. Isnt that exciting . It is. Youre looking live at people still going into the watch party in san jose where it will b if you havent heard, in case youre still living under a rock, were minutes away from the stanley cup final.

Reporter they opened the doors at 4 00 and people have been pouring into the shark tank behind me. They wont be sold out, getting 19,000 people for a watch party isnt going to happen. But i just got off the phone with the pr staff, theyll be surprised if its not half full, because there are so many people going in at this point. People are wearing face paint and masks and everything. It will be a big party. Back to you guys. Next time we hope to see you in one of those sweaters. They dont call it a jersey. Its a sweater. I want to see him in face paint. That will be good. Temps in the 80s for anyone heading out there. By 7 00, 76. It will be challenge for folks to monitor the ice inside because of the hot temperatures outside. Game 1 of the stanley cup finals, next. Byebye.
