New Owners Thank Warriors Fans With Steep Discounts Monday

Filed under: Warriors, NBA Fans

Many Warriors fans surely feel the purchase of the franchise by Joe Lacob is gift enough. Golden State made the playoffs just once in 15 seasons while the team has owned by Chris Cohan. Lacob and a set of partners agreed to buy the Warriors for $450 million this summer; the NBA made it official last week.

Monday will mark Lacob's introduction to the local fans, as the Warriors return from a road trip to take on the Pistons. On occasion of the start of a new era, the team has announced all remaining tickets can be had for 50 percent off, and all food and drink concessions will be 50 percent during the game as well.

Despite the franchise's futility, Warriors fans have been remarkably loyal, regularly filling Oracle Arena in Oakland to capacity. In that single playoff season (2006-07), Oracle boomed as the No. 8 seed Warriors upset the overwhelmingly favored Mavericks. The Warriors are off to a good start this season, and Lacob surely hopes home excitement can help Golden State get back to the postseason.
