"The Warriors are inspiring a new generation of fans throughout the Bay Area.

"I can't wait to welcome them home to San Francisco."

Hard to consider a city home when you spent just nine of your 60 years of existence in it. Even Philadelphia -- the city the Warriors called home from 1946-62 -- can make a bigger claim.

Fortunately for the Oakland faithful, there's a slither of hope. The Mission Bay Alliance will be issuing a lawsuit to block the arena.
