can only imagine how much more in the city the opportunity to actually visit the building and see that are more than a sports we were arena and thanks or things like this today the warriors is an organization and commitment for community giving and support in giving back and being able to learn that process for me it is much bigger than the idea of the team but it is really about the organization itself and what they are doing so for community and allowing young people to see that happening in the city for a team it is right now being celebrated for the companionship. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm bruce i'm the
