But you also know from the time we committed getting this project done it would be done right and the same approach with the warriors over the last 6 and a half years their passionate their occasionally grumpy but really care and what he see today is really the culmination of those efforts well build one of the worlds biggest gathering a place worldclass Multi Purpose sport and venue this place will think transformed into the court and that is where Budget CommitteeUnited Airlines will be family shows and conferences and graduations will take place creating memories for the lifetime up the road those 11 acres we stand with the weeds unlimited potential is very high price tag once we did that we commit to a 3 year open and collaborative process thats been as public as any process with the help of so much of that in the room we left hand and revised and collaborated is not not our day but really it is our day as long as we can thank every person in the you dont room i say first especially grateful to you mayor ed lee you extend your hand and supported us every step of the way clapping. we are absolutely in.

Now my pleasure to introduce a man the man that reached out to us were here to welcome the warriors stuck with us through thick and thin has things got rocky edwin m lee is the 43rd mayor he started at a housing rights attorney with an activist heart in 2010 he was chosen by the boarding to take over when Lieutenant Governors gavin newsom left from the beginning championed this was one of the main reasons were able to broub ladies and gentlemen, our point number 43 mayor ed lee. clapping. thank you, rick what a wonderful day i know every one of you see existed to be here today and finally welcoming the Golden State Warriors home to San Francisco. clapping. you know, i tend to find moments of having fun with owners and rick and want to share with you some ways in which any corn i didnt jokes will have an impact the first time i met him, i introduced myself as the journey man of mayors and honored to help mark to end a four and a half year journey to celebrate the years of construction what become San Franciscos 4r5sh9 state of the art chase center. clapping. im happy to say that no longer will San Francisco stand alone as the only america city without an inside venue of 10 thousand seats when that opened in 2019 the chase center will make history not only as a home for the gooirdz but as the only 100 percent privately financed arena in the entire country of the united states. clapping. this no, this is no small feat as every at mba in public land includes the taxpayer money in its construction not here in San Francisco the warriors are paying for this venue they reprimand remind me of that constantly on the land they perturbed is an accomplishment and speaks volumes to the commitments of ownership and sets the bar in our city what were all about and speaking of what were all about how about what is this team all about isnt that great yeah. clapping. what a game last night as was pointed out most all the greatest things we saw last night in that game coach let me help you and all of us define a infrastructure grant foul i think a infrastructure grant foul is any delay in opening the chase center in San Francisco thats a infrastructure grant foul of those warriors have the best record in the mba leading in the league in almost every category have the best starting rotation in the mba and, of course, they captured the imagination of the most casual of basketball fa calling names waits not to love. clapping. so the real question is coach how far will you go . And, of course, laughter all the way; right . . And, of course, the chases center will not only play host to basketball games but a prime designation for worldclass companies family shows and Convention Activities generate over thousand of good paying construction and permanent jobs that jobs that contribute more than enough money to pay for the extended Transit Service and new light rail vehicles and launch the covering the transportation and sculpture costs that serve the entire neighborhood on days without the feptsdz the project will add vitality amenity to mission bay neighborhoods along with a much needed office space and, of course, the warriors are going to be great partners to all our kids in the Education System this venue will be a model Sustainable Design that will include over 3 acres of open space and trigger the development of a 5 and a half acres of public parks right on the waterfront none of this would have been possible without the dedicated commitment of my Dear Colleague jennifer the former head of the citys office of Economic Workforce Development who tragically passed away from cancer over 2 years ago and spent much of her diminished career in the city running its trail and in many ways the park across the street from the eastern jennifer helped to plan a symbol of her commitment to San Francisco so today im honored to commemorate her legacy with a trail in the park so future neighbors runners and visitor will know her impact in the city thank you jennifer. clapping. im also excited to announce that speaking of really deep broach j.

I dont know is that the beginning im not sure but heres the owner of the warriors peter god bless berry. clapping. you got to be kidding me i had a check everything i was going to see check, check, check check they said it all terrific really nothing else to say only thing they especially\cover youre here with the shovels i was wondering if this was what was thrown at us over the last four and a half years laughter the best goals always started as a dream and the people give it a time limit all our group to help made this happen so for the opening is the worldclass venue required 9 years 9 years who but dreamers would undertake that kind of a journey you have to be a dreamer and allow yourselves to be pulled through it has to pull you and compel and make you go over all the obstacles and believe in that dreamers they face all the way down kinds of things and difficulties but push forward their dyslexia they push, push, push to get they are goals done. We all draw if past references certainly for our dreams i had mine in the entertainment business the entertainment business you have a lot of surveys they use the f word and boy it hurts but have to give up we had a lot of bumps those bumps made us stronger and better and the changes made us better ive had films that takes 5 years to get made and shown in the theatre willie brown we built together the audience was so upset and stormed out of the theatre and shock the limousine how you handle the corrections and how you do that determines our ultimate outcome always determines the outcome you make necessary changes the men and women in our organization we speak to and for today none westbound passengers all worked the three has made the different their tongue and wallet traveled in the same direction you believed them and they could lead you to o so the infrastructure grant fouls all because of the groundbreaking probably not next time builds a range of people and thing that will be protesting well see it through we havent started shooting this movie you hear something say lets see a film on budget no, we have to do the work our teem with all the bumps in the road rather we doubled down on the commitment to see it through and shape our dream much more to realize much more we cant suffer the faded of prematurity jubilation but our perseverance and determination will see us through but this dream is more than a venue of concrete youll attract the artists theyll be drawn to this vessel in San Francisco so perform and be the beacon and live and work rod other teams the glorious political events every city needs e needs one it is con superstitious but why is it so important because this we are not vigil people were analogies we chore the diversity of our species men and women and different gender and everything sharing laughing and crying together thats the purpose of those campfires and those venues every city needs it it had been great for San Francisco. clapping. think of the essence of products with the house of dreams our dreams and childrens dreams and shared expense the key wont would be the aptitude but the attitude of the builders did attitudes puts an to do on stare resides and attitude makes the difference show me someone with great attitude ill show you a hit a success. So the key to us now is to build it to get it done more action and less talk the whole damn process will be fought with parietal we have to cast it away and keep that vision strong and pull it pull up to it. Nelson mandela said to me this misguided adversary cant take away your dreams colleagues this will continue to challenge you theyll scare you but keep you motivated youll take greater focus to get us theyre up there lets hope we didnt come this far to come this far yesterday is not the dedication only a station to realize this dream go for the great and enjoy the journey it is show time god speed. clapping. that was show time. clapping. you know you mentioned greatness anytime you can be part of the group that is a greatest we think about the greatest players in mba history and rick berry and the late person we lost in july. clapping. our next speaker is one of the 50 most powerful women in business. clapping. hello.

Next speaker great speaker and coach to things that impress me on one dbi in the room with the game sat next to michael just for the record said you ready and actually delivered he did the series winning shot the thing that best me most about the Golden State Warriors during the 1989, 1999 during the lockout you bring those guys to vegas it get crazy in the casino goose in the private rooms gambling for a lot of money he look over at the 5 tackle between a grandmother and two guys in cowboy hats is steve occurring nursing 20 chips a man that will not get caught up in the behind the coach the Golden State Warriors steve occurring. clapping. thank you thank you im going to change gears everything has been said about the buildings ive been in the bay for 2 and a half years grew up in los angeles god and boo i spent the last 12 years of my life in san diego you can go ahead and yawn if you want my point im a southern californian you mating may be able to tell by my attire i got dressed up i did there are fans and dress fancy really want to say if youre lucky enough in lifelike ive been you reach a point you get to choose when you work with and includes where you live and choose where you work by those metrics i want to stay here forever. clapping. im also an nba coach this building will take 3 years to build the chances of me standing on the sidelines for the warriors are slim to hope as far so good hopefully, ill still be here. clapping. i want to Say Something very important that say that i was lucky enough to get this job and to be become part of the partnership with joe and peter and rick wells and bob myers when i interviewed for this job thats the selling point thats what i bought into this is an incredible franchisee that is only begun to scrape the surface the fan base i placed for 15 years to play against bad teams the fans went crazy we have amazing fans the ownership and the support i get from this group is fantastic behind the scenes emails and providing constant support is amazing rick and i worked together in phoenix for several years knowing rick was the president of the Golden State Warriors made me want to come an Amazing Group of people i want to point out bob myers that may have nothing to do with clapping. he may have nothing to do with the construction of that but everything to do with the construction of kevin and our roster the most important asset we have bob has been an amazing partner an amazing general manager but an even better friend in his mind when you put together a group of people that are committed to each other and the franchisee and to the warriors special things can happen thats exactly what happened here i want to make one final point about the ownership the fact that arena is privately functions is so important because ive before a sports man fanning any whole life living in san diego the late 12 years the charges were ripped away from that community i know there are a lot of economic factors and political issues you have an Ownership Group that recognizes they dont really own the team they write the checks but the community owns the team thats true. clapping. but the bay area owns the team and they have a tremendous task as guardian of franchise and their taking on tremendous risk with the financial commitments at no cost to the city that is almost unheard of these days in professional sports i want to acknowledge that with an o vacation. clapping. the best way to mitigate it risk to put a great team have our business did not have a great product to sell were fortunate weve been able to do that we only enhanced that with the arrival of the k d and. clapping. and i can be very honest when i say that is a thrill a enjoy to coach and team as talented as this group and more gratifying to come to work everyday and enjoy the playgrounds for who they are as human beings kevin is representing our team today, our roster other guys are practicing potrero and i are taking the day off we earned it after last night. clapping. but ultimately what will make that building successful it the fans and the fan base that has supported this franchisee and the players who are playing highlevel basketball in providing entertainment so at that point id like to bring up cal works d well move on. clapping. one of the things that has been talked about today is what an amazing practices the bay area is the physical bout and cultural aspects i know one of the reasons you wanted to come here have you come into the city quite a bit. Oh, yeah, he come a lot 0 one thing i see i talked with people in San Francisco over in oakland and the east bay they selected this team for their team with the support and love is key makes coming in work better and we are existed for the future happy im here. You come here every night after games. Yeah. A couple of restaurant he drives across country every game why not. Why not. I know that mike was here and amazing i mentioned night every night the feel from the crowd when you talk about what it feels like to be a warriors is good when you own the team. Ill tell you that laughter . You know when you step out and put on the engineeringcy no matter in cleveland or the worst team in the league to play in front of them it amazing and makes us want to play harder we love the support and every time we 12e9 out there we try harder.
