( mark ) ( mark ) some redemption for california after a social media wager between senator kamala harris and ohio senator sherrod brown. senator brown challenged senator harris on twitter... betting a case of beer... the same bet that senator barbara boxer lost last year. senator harris promptly took that bet.. asking if senator brown would be wearing his warriors yellow and blue when he drops off the beers. last year -- senator boxer posted this picture...calling it the walk of shame as she delivered beer to senator brown in a cavs jersey. we'll be waiting to see the photo of senator brown in warriors gear.

the parade ends by lake merritt where the rally will take place. look live at this picture of a balloon arch at the start of the parade and they put this up within the last half hour. there will be 12 of these along the route, and fun to look at, but, of course, it's the players that will steal the show and hopefully steph curry will notice the little 3-year-old on the corner playing the drum for him. amy hollyfield, abc7 news. >> thank you, amy. >>> record numbers are expected to turn out for the celebration and security measures are well under way. >> abc7 news reporter, matt keller, at kaiser plaza where the rally will take place. >> reporter: check it out. fans are already here and we have a few tents here, and people camping out overnight to make sure they have a spot for the rally, and an alameda courthouse lit up as well, and then i want to show you the stage in front of the kaiser convention center. you have the nba champions, the four years before and the big one in the middle that says champions, and 2017, limited space though for the ral

lake merritt and 980 through downtown oakland. you'll find a few street closures, a big note is they're closing off broadway, jackson and oak street off ramps starting at 7:00 a.m. you can't get there off of the freeway so avoid overloading the streets. 9:00 is when everything seals up except for 14th and 20th. those are the last roadways to close. sbart a great option for you but take the 12th or the 19th street station as we talk about because lake merritt is at the smallest station and last time they had to close the station down because folks couldn't get out. that's where the parade ends and where the festival is. remember, take mass transit if you can, bart is advising that and ac transit will be rerouted through that area. one note, if you're riding on the pittsburgh line, you'll have fewer trains because they've diverted a few to take care of the oakland traffic. that may be an issue. let's look at waze. traffic is light but you want to use waze if you're driving from the pittsburgh or concord area over into downtown oakla

avoid the lake merritt station. talk about that more coming up but ac transit will have reroutes. if you're out of pittsburgh taking bart, you will find fewer trains because they're diverting some towards that oakland crowd. if you want to drive from pittsburgh to the area you can, it's light traffic and there's your obvious choices. make your choices wherever you're driving. go to your phone and check waze. waze will help you share information, get traffic reports and if you're a member of the team, nbc bay area wazers, join the team and do that so we can share information back and forth. back to you. >>> coming up, a chaotic crash caught on camera. the man lucky enough to be alive after this terrifying wreck. that truck that you see is going the wrong way. it appears out of nowhere and then clips the side of the other . >>> look that the scary crash, a truck just comes out of nowhere, clips that side of the car sending both vehicles spinning. amazingly, nobody hurt. the driver of the truck took off running, drug p

the stage at lake merritt, though, is still being dismantled. clean up crews very busy into the early morning hours. everything from streamers to confetti had to be removed. warriors co-owners joe and peter announced yesterday that they would pickup the tab for the parade as a gift to the city. today we found out that final bill for them is $4 million. >> wow. good for them. well, you can really beat the heat at one place we visited, but you're going to get a little wet and that is exactly what they came for. in concord today abc7 news was at water world in california. the place was just packed. everyone but kevin costener was at water world today. remember that old movie he made years ago? the big kahuna was a hit. kids were in a heat wave driven bliss. >> the rides are great. yep. >> how about getting cool? >> yeah, it's perfect. >> the lazy river may be the ticket for those who are not daring enough for the big kahuna. the water park is in its 22nd year and is now open daily for the summer. >> announcer: now your accuweather forecast with san

avoid the lake merritt station. i know that's close to the rally and folks want to use that but it's the smallest station. it had to close for the majority of the parade and rally last time in 2015 broadway, jackson and oak street will close at 7:00 a.m. that's less than an hour. if you're not lucky you have no drive to oakland for that parade, don't, consider taking bart through the area, that will take you past the parade without any delays. avoid lake merritt and ac transit will have reroutes. it has closures already. avoid broadway. at 9:00 they're closing off every cross street except for 14th and 20th. those are the only two you can use to get across. >> don't forget to show us your team spirit. at nbcbayarea.com we have a swlad show. tag us on facebook or twitter, we'll have continuing coverage from beginning to end. our nbc bay area team of anchors and reporters are posted along the parade route to capture your favorite basketball stars. and nbc bay area sun ranger will be ahead as well. you can watch that s

and the 12th street station and 19th, use those and avoid lake merritt. and you will need to be out by 4:00, and that's good news. and also ac transit, 21 bus lines are being detoured. a lot of ambassadors that will be deployed throughout downtown that will help navigate. and then one more note i want to pass along here, if you want to be driving on 880, we have got three ramps that will be closed starting at 7:00 this morning, and oak street and jackson street and broadway, and that will likely last well into the afternoon, so we're definitely going to be looking for congestion on 880 when we get later into the morning, and i will stay on top of it of course for you all day. >>> the stars of the show are celebrating with dub nation in today's parade. steph curry said his teammates had an unbelievable time two years ago, and they expect that will happen again. >> i expect that same kind of vibe with a little bit of experience behind it of how to do it right and how to celebrate right and enjoy, you know, being champions again, so i'm going to get a good n

going through downtown to the big rally at lake merritt. die-hard fans are going to extreme lengths to get the best spot to watch the parade. one was once a towel boy for the "we believe" warriors in 2007. he said he had to be first in line so he and his friends brought their lawn chairs, tents and extra layers. >> going to be a lot of people out here so we wanted to get us a good spot. >> i might get a few mosquito bites or, you know, maybe other few rodents. but, um, i'm a little scared but i got these guys here to, you know, to help me and encourage me to be here for the nba champions. >> aww, it's all worth it. the city of oakland is expected up to 1.5 million people for the parade, 500,000 more than than in 2015. >>> the warriors are addressing reports that they have decided to decline a visit to the white house -- if they're an invited. steve kerr is a critic of president trump and several players voiced their opposition. they say they have not discussed as a team what they will do. steph curry says it's unlikely he would go. >> i per

and 2 million people to attend the parade so expect a large crowd.the second tip: do not use the lake merritton, it's too small.official recommend using larger stations, like the one at 19th in oakland or 12th. also, buy a clipper card or bart ticket in advance.(sot) another tip is have someone drop you off at the station, or take an uber or lyft, parking your car will be tough. also, even if you're not going to the parade tomorrow but are still riding bart plan ahead. bart is adjusting service to push as many long trains to oakland as police so that could give other riders fewer options.reporting live in walnut creek lydia pantazes kron4 news.
