Interview with Warriors president. This is interesting, they might be dropping Snohetta which would completely change what this looks like. They are also dropping housing and the hotel. The height is more workable than what they were at at the piers. I really liked the Snohetta design I hope they stick with them.




Q: Will architecture firm Snohetta continue work on the Mission Bay arena?
A: We love the team (at Snohetta), but their commitment was for Piers 30-32.

Q: What is the Mission Bay land zoned for?
A: The land is zoned for 160 feet (height). We expect the arena to be almost the same height as on Piers 30-32, so it will conform with the height. We have the opportunity to go below grade here and we have not determined if we will do that.

Q: The Piers 30-32 project envisioned not only an arena but housing, office, retail and a hotel. Do you plan to build all that on Mission Bay as well?
A: We will still have some retail, mostly restaurants, and some office. We don’t envision housing or a hotel.
I disagree. I'm not a big fan of the Snohetta and never really liked their design for the arena. So I for one am hoping they dump them.
