The Golden State Warriors are moving to San Francisco, and with that move comes a new arena. The Chase Center, to be exact, the ground of which was broken on Tuesday, complete with synchronized excavators set to The Blue Danube.
No, really.
Video of the groundbreaking -- which also included acrobats throwing traffic cones at each other gracefully -- showed three large excavators moving about to the classic waltz.

Ah, ok then.
At least the Warriors probably won’t be changing their name after the move.
Warriors co-owner Joe Lacob says there is a "solid chance" that the Golden State remains in the team name after moving to San Francisco.
