The Golden State Warriors broke ground in San Francisco on Monday afternoon at the future site of the Chase Center. The ceremony included speeches from San Francisco Mayor Edwin M. Lee, Owners Joe Lacob and Peter Gruber, Steve Kerr and Kevin Durant and The Aerial Studio's very own Kevin Holland and Aaron Nelson (Aerialists) and Josh Rasile and Ed Bossert (Stuntmen and Parkour). Kevin Holland and Aaron Nelson are graduates of The Aerial Studio's teen troupe program and were able to have had this amazing experience on a professional rig. Great Job Team! USA TODAY - Those faux construction workers did backflips down the aisles, all part of the circus that was the Chase Center celebration party. More than 700 dignitaries, Warriors officials and media members packed a bayside tent, only to be awed by a grand finale that was equal parts pomp and circumstance. The curtain that featured an image of the arena was raised, the sun poured in, and construction equipment came to life as if this was a scene straight from Disney’s “Fantasia.” Add in the cheery choir performance at the start, Kevin Durant saying, "That he’ll stick around long enough to play in the building a few seasons from now," and the fact that the Warriors had routed their rival Cleveland Cavaliers just hours before, and the mood among those in attendance couldn’t have been much brighter.
