Chase Center
Chase Center is an indoor arena in the Mission Bay neighborhood of San Francisco, California. It is the home of the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA), Golden State Valkyries of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), and occasionally for the University of San Francisco men's and women's basketball teams in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The Santa Cruz Warriors of the NBA G League play one home game per season at Chase Center. Chase Center opened on September 6, 2019, and seats 18,064 for basketball games.
The Warriors, who have been located in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1962, played their home games at Oakland Arena in Oakland from 1971 to 2019 (except 1996-97, when the franchise temporarily relocated to the SAP Center in San Jose while the Oakland Arena was under renovation).
During Valkyries games, Chase Center is nicknamed "Ballhalla", a reference to Valhalla of Norse mythology, where Valkyries would bring select fallen warriors. The arena also includes the Warriors’ practice facility known as the Oracle Performance Center.
The Chase Center is the second youngest arena in the NBA, after the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
The arena, which is home to the Golden State Warriors of the NBA and Golden State Valkyries of the WNBA, is located in San Francisco at Third St. and 16th St. The arena is composed of multiple layers and floors, has a seating capacity of 18,064 and a multipurpose area that includes a theater configuration with an entrance overlooking a newly built park. The venue also contains 580,000 square feet (54,000 m2) of office and lab space and has 100,000 square feet (9,300 m2) of retail space. Chase Center also includes a 35,000 square foot public plaza and recreation area designed by landscape architecture firm SWA Group. The arena includes a parking facility of approximately 950 spaces and is accessible to public transportation around the area, including one light rail and two crosstown bus lines within two blocks, and a ferryboat landing and regional commuter rail station within a ten-minute walk.
The UCSF/Chase Center station is located adjacent to the arena on the T Third Street light rail line. In 2023, San Francisco Municipal Railway (Muni) opened the Central Subway. This new light rail subway line links the arena and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to downtown hotels, convention centers, the residential neighborhood of Chinatown, and subway and commuter rail lines that serve the entire Bay Area. With a $1 billion investment,[citation needed] Chase Center anchors an 11-acre site that aside from the arena comprises cafés, offices, public plazas and a five-and-a-half-acre public waterfront park.
The plan for building a new arena was announced on May 22, 2012, at a Golden State Warriors press conference at the proposed site, attended by then-San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, then-NBA Commissioner David Stern, then-California Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber, and Warriors staff and city officials. A new privately financed, $500 million 17,000- to 19,000-seat arena was planned to be located on Pier 30-32 along the San Francisco Bay waterfront, situated between the San Francisco Ferry Building and Oracle Park. A month after the proposal, the South Beach-Rincon-Mission Bay Neighborhood Association criticized the site and said that a second major league sport venue in the area would make it no longer "family friendly". Former San Francisco mayor Art Agnos began speaking to dozens of community gatherings in opposition to the proposed arena, stating that the project was pushed by two out-of-town billionaires and would severely impact traffic and city views. On December 30, 2013, a ballot proposition was submitted to the city titled the "Waterfront Height Limit Right to Vote Act". The initiative made it onto the June 2014 ballot as Proposition B, and its passage would affect three major waterfront developments, including the proposed Warriors arena.
On April 19, 2014, the Warriors abandoned plans for the pier site and purchased a 12-acre site owned by Salesforce.com at the Mission Bay neighborhood for an undisclosed amount. The arena was financed privately. The architect for the project was MANICA Architecture and the plan for Chase Center was to have it built by 2019 before the NBA season started. The plan for Chase Center to open earlier was pushed back multiple times due to many complaints about the location. Construction on the arena began in January 2017.
