Chase Center Guide

Chase Center is a brand new, $1.4 million sports arena in the Mission Bay area of downtown San Francisco. Since 2019, it has been the home of the Golden State Warriors, the 2022 NBA Champions.

One of Chase Center’s most prominent features called Thrive City is located outside the complex. The 3.2-acre exterior plaza features a huge jumbotron offering great views of the Warriors home and away games. This outdoor gathering space also hosts community-like activities and entertainment shows during the offseason.

It won’t be a site for legal California sports betting for now, though, as voters rejected both Prop 26 and Prop 27 in the November 2022 election. That means sportsbooks won’t launch in California until 2025 at the earliest.

That said, CA venues and stadiums like Chase Center may be able to open retail sportsbooks when that time comes.

Regardless, we’d like to provide an overview of the Chase Center for all Dubs fans out there. Where is Chase Center San Francisco? What’s the arena’s seating capacity? How many parking lots are available nearby? We’ve got you covered with answers to those questions and much more. 

About Chase Center Golden State Warriors Arena

Since the arena isn’t exactly in the most touristy part of the city, you may want to study up on its location if it’s your first time in San Francisco. This begs the question: Where is Chase Center? If you want to look it up on a map, here is the full address: 

• 1 Warriors Way, San Francisco, CA 94158, USA

Chase Center sits on 11 acres of private land in the developing Mission Bay District, bordered by 3rd, 16th, and South Streets and Terry Francois Blvd. It’s less than a mile south of Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants. 

Brief History of Chase Center San Francisco

The construction of the Chase Center was announced in 2014. Two years later, the New York-based bank JP Morgan acquired the naming rights for a 20-year term. The deal was worth a reported $300 million.

With the city of San Francisco refusing to finance the project, the Warriors had to fund it out of their own pockets for an estimated $1.4 billion. Construction of the privately-financed arena began in Jan. 2017 with Mortenson/Clark as the contractor.

Construction of the complex was completed on schedule and was opened to the public on Sept. 6, 2019. Metallica performed at the grand opening show alongside the San Francisco Symphony.

Golden State Warriors Arena Specifications 

Chase Center’s capacity for basketball games is up to 18,064 spectators, which is in the ballpark of the other two NBA arenas in California: Crypto.com and Golden 1 Center. 

The complex is the new home for the six-time NBA champion Golden State Warriors. Previously, the team played in Oracle Arena in Oakland for nearly 50 years before moving to Chase Center. 

At 9,699 square feet, Chase Center is home to the largest scoreboard in the NBA, six times larger than Oracle Arena. Additional space on the LED scoreboard displays detailed statistics like offensive rebound and TO percentages. 

The arena also includes a 25,349 square-feet state-of-the-art practice facility called Oracle Performance Center, as part of the partnership extension with cloud software company Oracle. 

The Chase Center seating chart is available on the arena’s official website.
