UCSF Chancellor Supports Warriors' Arena, But Voices Concern Over Increased Traffic

Univ. of California-S.F. Chancellor Sam Hawgood said that the school is “very supportive" of the Warriors planned area, "as long as the increased traffic can be managed," according to Matier & Ross of the S.F. CHRONICLE. Hawgood’s stance is "at odds with that of some of UCSF’s biggest donors" -- who comprise the Mission Bay Alliance -- which is "dead set against the arena." However, Hawgood said that UCSF is "still worried about what will happen if the Giants and Warriors are playing games in the neighborhood at the same time, potentially flooding the area with thousands of cars." Hawgood said, “It’s a complex set of equations that will need to be solved." Matier & Ross noted the Mission Bay Alliance "appears to want the land banked for a future UCSF expansion." But Hawgood said, "That is not part of our plan. All of our planning has the Warriors building on that site.” He also said that UCSF had “'no particular problem' with the twin office towers that the Warriors plan to build on either side of the arena, as long as the buildings do not interfere with helicopter ambulances landing" at the hospital (S.F. CHRONICLE, 5/24).
