The decision is in line with San Francisco's impending ban on events with more than 1,000 people present.
The decision is only in effect until March 21, so the Warriors’ face-off with the Nets is the only game affected. But Chase Center, the Warriors’ stadium in San Francisco’s Mission Bay neighborhood, is also relocating one minor league game it had scheduled and canceling or postponing three concerts it was set to host.
The move was made in order to comply with San Francisco Mayor London Breed’s Wednesday announcement that the city is issuing aon any events with more than 1,000 people present. It’s not yet clear when that policy will go into effect. Breed said in a statement Wednesday that she’d alerted the team to the city’s plans before announcing them.
“Today I spoke with the Warriors to discuss the steps were taking to cancel large events and they are in support of our efforts,” she said in a statement.
