The Golden State Warriors are returning to their former home in San Francisco with a plan to build a privately financed arena on the city’s waterfront.

The multipurpose venue would stand on Piers 30-32, just south of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, and would open in time for the 2017-18 National Basketball Association season, team owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber said at a news conference today attended by NBA Commissioner David Stern, San Francisco Mayor Edwin Lee and Warriors players past and present.
