The average ticket price for today's game is four times that of last season, yet even so, the twenty-thousand-seat Oracle Arena is still fully packed.
This is the benefit of the team moving to San Francisco and winning the championship; people expect the Warriors' basketball revenue this season to rival the Knicks and Lakers.
Bay Area fans are fortunate. Two years ago, Roger retired Tom Meschery's number 14 at Oakland Arena. At the bustling ceremony, Roger promised to bring a championship to the Bay Area.
Now, two years later, Roger has fulfilled his promise, allowing the massive championship banner to rise under the spotlight. Bay Area fans finally experience the joy of standing atop the world after 1975.
