What to Expect
Chase Center sits on the San Francisco waterfront in the Mission Bay neighborhood, a purpose-built sports and entertainment complex that opened in 2019. The arena replaced Oracle Arena in Oakland and brought the Warriors back to SF. The surrounding Thrive City plaza is the pregame hub, outdoor restaurants, bars, and an open-air gathering space overlooking the bay. Arrive early to enjoy the waterfront, grab food, and take in the Bay Bridge views. NBA games run about 2.5 hours.

Game Day
Both garages need a prepaid pass and open at 5 p.m. on weeknights, so there is no turning up to pay.
Your ticket is a free Muni pass for the whole day, which makes driving the expensive option here.
Ferries run to Pier 48½ for every Warriors game if you are coming across the bay.
Parking & Directions
Spark Social is a food truck park about a block north of Chase Center. Hit it up for pregame drinks and food then walk over. Way better value and vibe than eating inside the arena.
Bike Valet accepts helmets free of charge.
SF Bay Ferry offers Pier 48 service from Oakland/Alameda for every home game.
Food & Drinks
Drink a beer in the parking lot before you go in and save yourself $25. The cheesesteak fries in the United Club are the best food value by volume in the building. Everything else is typical SF pricing.
The garlic fries are a Bay Area arena tradition. Don't skip them.
Thrive City restaurants offer pregame dining that's better value than arena concessions.
Seating
Every suite product includes VIP parking: two passes with a Courtside Lounge or Club Suite, one or two with the Golden Gate Lounge, and one with an Acrisure Theater Box.
Five clubs attach to particular tickets: the JP Morgan Club to VIP AA and VIP BB, the Chase Club to Sections 2-23, the Cache Creek Club to Sections 126-129, the United Globe Club to Sections 101-106 and the Ultra Club to Sections 113-118. Club access is not one thing here; check which one yours opens.
Chase Center has two seating rings, not three. A 200-level seat here is the equivalent of a lower-middle deck at most arenas rather than the rafters.
