Chase Center is a state-of-the-art, 18,000-seat sports and entertainment arena located in San Francisco’s Mission Bay neighborhood. It serves as the home of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors and the WNBA’s Golden State Valkyries, and hosts nearly 200 events annually, including concerts, boxing, professional wrestling, esports competitions, and cultural events[1][3][4][9]. The arena features the largest scoreboard in the NBA, multiple premium seating options such as club suites, courtside lounges, and theater boxes, and offers a diverse culinary experience with Bay Area-inspired food and health-conscious options[1][4].
The Chase Center project was privately financed by the Golden State Warriors organization, costing approximately $1.3 billion. The design was led by Manica Architecture with Kendall Heaton Associates as architect of record and interiors by Gensler. The Mortenson/Clark joint venture managed construction, completing the arena in September 2019[5][7]. The venue sits on an 11-acre site that includes two office buildings, 100,000 square feet of retail space, a 35,000-square-foot public plaza, and a five-and-a-half-acre waterfront park, all part of a mixed-use development called Thrive City[2][3][7].
Since opening, Chase Center has become a major cultural and economic asset for San Francisco. It has hosted high-profile events such as the 2022 League of Legends World Championship and will host the 2025 NBA All-Star Game and the Laver Cup tennis event[1][2]. The arena is well-integrated into public transit with nearby light rail, bus lines, ferry access, and the UCSF/Chase Center station on the Central Subway line, enhancing accessibility for visitors[3].
Chase Center’s commitment to sustainability earned it a LEED Gold rating, and the project emphasized local community engagement, awarding substantial contracts to small and minority businesses during construction[5]. Markin
