Stephen Curry is still struggling to come to grips with the change of venue, as the Golden State Warriors made their long-awaited move to the Chase Center after many years playing in the confines of Oracle Arena. Curry spent his first 10 seasons under “Roaracle,” an arena known for feeling the pulse of the fan base and reverberating it with earth-shaking thunder.
The two-time MVP is still getting his bearings after relocating to San Francisco and making the Chase Center his new home after a decade in Oakland.
“It’s a day-by-day process,” said Curry, according to Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated. “I’m getting a new routine. I feel like a rookie again in that respect. But, it will come. This place is nice. It has a lot of potential in terms of an atmosphere we can really build in here. It’s a lot of good things to it. We just have to figure it out here.”
Yet Curry didn't take long to note that the choice of moving to San Francisco was business-driven, as ownership looked to cash in on the recent fame and success of this franchise.
“It was a total business decision,” said Curry. “It makes sense the way they want to usher in a new era of global basketball. It was going to happen regardless of what I said.”
The Warriors are expected to make $250-300 million more in terms of revenue than other benchmark franchises like the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks, a wildly staggering number, but the truth of how the new venue will rake in the dollar bills for this ownership group.
