Golden State Warriors moving to S.F.; will finance and own new arena
The Golden State Warriors have abandoned their plan to build an arena on Piers 30-32 just south of the (San Francisco) Bay Bridge and instead have purchased a site in San Francisco's burgeoning Mission Bay to hold a new 18,000-seat venue.
SNIP
The Warriors will own the site outright, rather than leasing it from the Port of San Francisco, and the team says the arena will be entirely privately financed - a rare instance of a modern sports venue that would use no taxpayer funds or public land.

Meanwhile, the team seeks fan input on a name change. Should they be remain Golden State Warriors or be renamed San Francisco Warriors or something else?
One thing most definite: change this most banal logo. It's awful.

Because when you want to honor St. Francis... 
1) Northern California is a hotbed of women's sports, and it hasn't had a team since the Monarchs left Sacramento.
2) They could be called the Amazons.
