with private money. kpix 5's jackie is at the event with the latest. >> reporter: michelle, i have to tell you i have never been to a fancier ground breaking ceremony. usually you go, you look at a big pile of dirt. people put some shovels in and scoop some dirt out. this is quite a production here in mission bay. we had to get here as the media probably two and a half hours before the event even started, and even then hundreds of people showed up around 11:30 to support the warriors. there's a lot of excitement around this new arena. of course there's a lot of controversy as well, but today it's all about the party and the future homesite of the golden state warriors. it's like a mini concert in there. there were gospel singers singing earlier. they have a band. they have large monitors inside. it's quite a production. we do expect a lot of the golden state warriors organization to speak today. coach is here, and it just kicked off at noon. so right now we are underway.
