Warriors fans surprised by addition to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Warriors fans were hoping to get away from Cavaliers hysteria with a visit to the San Francisco Bay Area exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Calif. but, alas, there is a temporary addition.

CLEVELAND (KGO) -- Warriors fans in Cleveland are having to endure all the celebrating from Cavaliers fans after they won their first NBA Finals game at home Tuesday night.

Besides the Cavaliers, Cleveland is probably best known for its Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which has an exhibit dedicated to the Bay Area that has been attracting lots of Warriors fans this week who want to get away.

One day after Cleveland won Game 3, Warriors fans hope they are their team left it all on the court Tuesday night.

At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Warriors fans were going low-key with the gear but are still plenty pumped up for Thursday's Game 4.

"Take this day, decompress, figure it out. I think they kind of figured it out in the last few minutes of the game last night, it just would've been nice if they figured it out a little earlier," Warriors fan Jodi Morris said.

"Obviously we wanted to win both, but we'll take one out of two. If we win tomorrow, we'll have home court back, so it's all you can ask for," fan Ryan Morris said.

They were hoping to get away from Cavs hysteria with a visit to the San Francisco Bay Area exhibit but, alas, there is a temporary addition.

"The city pretty much revolves around LeBron and he's obviously displayed across the whole town, but wasn't a big fan of that part of the exhibit, worst part of the exhibit," Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Jason Hanley said.

"After all, the museum is based here in Cleveland so we gotta represent for the home town team,

Hanley said.

When asked if they could take LeBron down before Thursday night's game, Hanley responded, "We'll see. We might want to leave him up. You guys might want to take him down. We'll see what happens. I'm looking forward to tomorrow night though."
