The New Landmark of Mission Bay

Chase Center is an award-winning 18,064-seat sports and entertainment arena in San Francisco’s Mission Bay neighborhood that is home to the seven-time NBA champion Golden State Warriors, the WNBA's Golden State Valkyries, and hosts a variety of concerts, family shows and special performances. 

Opened in September 2019, Chase Center boasts six clubs, 136 suites, and over 200 pieces of museum-quality art as part of the Chase Center Art Collection. Easily accessible by foot, bicycle or mass transit, Chase Center anchors Thrive City, a privately financed, multipurpose complex consisting of 11 acres of publicly accessible plazas and unique restaurant and retail locations, in addition to year-round wellness and community programming.

Transportation to Chase Center

Navigating to Mission Bay is easiest when you leverage the city's transit infrastructure.

  • Ticket-as-Transit-Pass: Your Chase Center event ticket serves as a Muni pass for the entire day. This is the most efficient way to avoid traffic and parking fees.
  • Muni Metro: The T Third line drops passengers directly at the Third Street stop, literally steps from the arena entrance.
  • Late-Night Service: For late-ending concerts or games, utilize the Muni buses and shuttles which provide dedicated late-night service to ensure safe travel across the city.
  • BART: If traveling from the East Bay or Peninsula, take BART to a central station and transfer to Muni for the final leg.
  • Ferry Service: A scenic arrival is possible via Pier 48, connecting the arena to the broader Bay Area ferry network.
  • Parking: While on-site parking is available, it is limited. Public transit remains the gold standard for reaching the venue.
