Last Thursday, the Golden State Warriors released an initial, basic design of their new San Francisco arena, although more detailed designs of the Warriors’ new arena should be made available in the Fall.

Back in April, the Warriors purchased land from SalesForce.com, just south of AT&T Park.

According to Eric Young of the San Francisco Business Times, the new arena will resemble the Piazza del Campo and approximate the size of Union Square:

Dykers said he hoped the site would be somewhat reminiscent of the Piazza del Campo in Siena, Italy.
.
“The basic idea is to avoid building out to the property line,” Dykers said. “We really want that outdoor space by the arena to be a key feature, a defining feature. The outside spaces, the spaces between the buildings are as important as the buildings themselves.”
.
The main plaza area by the arena would be comparable in size to San Francisco’s Union Square.

The Warriors’ new arena in San Francisco is expected to be completed in time for the start of the 2018-19 season.
