Warriors celebrate ‘phenomenal day’ as Chase Center finally opens

"It's a phenomenal day," Warriors co-chairman Joe Lacob told NBC Sports Bay Area shortly after the ceremony. After the Warriors announced plans for a privately financed, multi-purpose arena on Piers 30-32 along the city's waterfront in 2012, San Francisco officials pushed back on the plan, prompting the Warriors to shift plans to the current site in the San Francisco's Mission Bay district.
