The Golden State Warriors’ Oracle Arena was rated atop professional sports in a recent project by ESPN.

ESPN’s Outside The Lines conducted a project to determine who had the best and worst food violations amongst the 111 stadiums across the country. They were a fan of what they saw of the Golden State Warriors home arena, Oracle Arena.

Oracle Arena comes in at number one with the least amount of violations. They come in at 1.12 percent at high level.

Here are the three violations.

"UNCLEAN UTENSILSOn March 4, 2016, equipment and utensils used to prepare food were not clean.FAULTY PLUMBING On March 2, 2017, inspectors found faulty plumbing fixtures.HANDWASHING ISSUESOn Aug. 10, 2016, inspectors found inadequate handwashing facilities at one stand."

89 outlets were inspected. Out of those 89, they only found one with high level violations.

For the Warriors, this is a very great sign. This arena was built in 1966. One of the oldest, if not thee oldest arena in the NBA. It shows that they care about bringing the best food and beverage products in the country.

These issues that are being reported should be easy fixes and it would not surprise me to see they have already fixed these issues. Obviously, it’s not easy to be 100% spotless at the games, so having this little amounts of concerns is ideal for Golden State.

It also shows they not only care to have the best product on the court, but they have the best product inside the arena to make the fans experience the best in the country.

With the new arena being built and opening next season, the Warriors will have to keep this same high standard. However, they will be moving away from the Bay area, a sad situation for many of the Warriors’ long-time fans.

While the team might be finding a new home, the same spirit should sitll be present. They’ll still be led by Stephen Curry, and the money that he along with the other Big 4 bring in should help pay to keep the stadium and concessions clean.
