Chase Center is the home of the Golden State Warriors and sits in San Francisco's Mission Bay neighborhood

Chase Center opened in 2019 at 1011 Broadway in San Francisco, replacing the Warriors' previous home at Oracle Arena in Oakland. The building holds about 18,064 people for basketball games and sits on the waterfront near the Ferry Building and AT&T Park.

If you are planning to attend an event there, you will need to buy a ticket through the official Warriors website, StubHub, Ticketmaster, or other resellers. Parking, entry procedures, and what you can bring inside all have specific rules that change based on the event type.

Getting to Chase Center by public transit or car

BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) is the fastest public option. The Embarcadero Station is about a 10-minute walk from the arena. From there, follow signs toward the waterfront or ask staff for directions to Chase Center. Muni buses also serve the area; routes 30, 45, and others stop near Mission Bay, though exact routes and stops change, so check the Muni website before your trip.

If you drive, Chase Center has a parking garage with multiple levels. Parking costs vary by event and day of the week — Warriors games typically cost more than other events. You can reserve parking in advance through the Warriors website or the SpotHero app, or pay at the garage on the day of the event. Arrive early on game days, as the garage fills quickly. Street parking in the surrounding neighborhood is limited and often has time restrictions.

Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft serve the arena, though surge pricing is common during and after events. The Ferry Building terminal is also nearby if you are coming from the East Bay or Marin County by ferry.

What to bring and what is prohibited at the arena

Chase Center allows small bags, purses, and backpacks that fit within size limits — typically no larger than 14 inches by 14 inches by 6 inches. Clear bags are preferred and speed up entry. You can bring your own food and non-alcoholic drinks in sealed containers, though outside alcohol is not permitted. The arena sells food, drinks, and merchandise inside at standard venue prices.

Items you cannot bring include weapons of any kind, illegal drugs, professional cameras with detachable lenses, recording devices, and large flags or signs. Specific rules may change based on the event, so check the Warriors website or your event confirmation before arriving. Staff will perform bag checks at entry gates, which can add 15 to 30 minutes to your arrival time on busy nights.

Ticket prices and how to buy them

Warriors game tickets range from under $100 for upper-level seats during regular season games against less popular opponents to several thousand dollars for lower-bowl seats during playoffs or games against rival teams like the Lakers. Preseason games and some regular season matchups cost less than others. Concert and special event tickets vary widely depending on the performer or event.

You can buy tickets directly from the Warriors official website (warriors.com), which often has the best selection and sometimes official presales. Resale platforms like StubHub, Ticketmaster, and SeatGeek also list tickets from other fans and brokers. Prices on resale sites fluctuate based on demand and how close the event is. Some games sell out weeks in advance; others have tickets available the day of the event. If you are a Warriors season ticket holder, you receive priority access to certain events and may have different pricing.

Parking options and costs

The Chase Center parking garage is the most convenient option and is located directly below and adjacent to the arena. Standard parking for Warriors games costs between $20 and $40 depending on the day and time of year. Concerts and other events may have different rates. Accessible parking for people with disabilities is available; you will need a valid disabled parking placard or license plate to use these spaces.

Valet parking is also offered on some event days, though it costs more than self-parking. You can reserve parking online through the Warriors website or the SpotHero app, which sometimes offers discounts for advance booking. If you arrive very early, street parking in the surrounding Mission Bay neighborhood may be available, though many streets have time limits and permit requirements.

What to expect on arrival day

Arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes before the event starts, especially for popular Warriors games. This gives you time to park, walk to the arena, go through bag checks, and find your seat. Entry gates open about two hours before most events. Staff will scan your ticket at the gate — have it ready on your phone or printed. Bag checks are mandatory and can create lines during peak arrival times.

Once inside, you can visit concession stands, restrooms, and retail shops. The arena has multiple levels and sections, so if you are unfamiliar with the layout, ask an usher for help finding your section. Seating is assigned by ticket; your seat location is printed on your ticket or shown in your mobile ticket app. The arena is generally accessible for people with mobility challenges, with elevators, accessible restrooms, and designated seating areas.

Dining and shopping at Chase Center

The arena has numerous food and beverage options inside, including concession stands, full-service restaurants, and bars. Prices are higher than outside venues — expect to pay $15 to $25 for a sandwich, $8 to $12 for a beer, and $6 to $10 for a soft drink. The Warriors have partnered with local San Francisco restaurants and vendors, so some food options reflect the city's dining culture. Vegetarian, vegan, and allergy-friendly options are available at most stands.

Retail shops inside sell Warriors merchandise, apparel, and souvenirs. The surrounding Mission Bay neighborhood also has restaurants, cafes, and shops within walking distance, though these are outside the arena and require leaving and re-entering if you want to return to your seat.
