Chase Center

I'm a longtime Warriors season ticket holder from Oracle Arena and attended my first Warriors game at Chase Center on October 18, 2019 vs. the Lakers. My conflicted heart at moving from the East Bay aside, I've accepted the move to San Francisco and was excited to attend the game.

We parked at a wonderful parking garage not too far away. We walked 15 minutes past Oracle Park and followed the crowd to Chase Center. Once we walked onto Chase Center Warriors ground, you can't help but notice the big LED screen streaming content from the Chase Center Warriors Way entrance! The artificial grass reminded me of the Atlanta Braves Suntrust Park and the areas to sit is a nice touch.

The regular line was looong but we luckily had access to enter through one of the VIP lines. We were in the arena within 3 minutes!

This is where the confusion began only because we had never been here! Portals? Which portal are we? How do we get there? There are various walkways and stairs that lead to different locations in the arena, so it took us a couple minutes to find our way. We found the escalators to Portal 24 and went on our merry way to our level and walked around to take in the eateries and the arena.

My biggest surprise --- the concourse is claustrophobic! Don't get me wrong, the concourse is less claustrophobic than Oracle Arena, but Chase Center doesn't breathe as much as I envisioned and is definitely not as open as...can I say...oh man...here goes...as...Golden 1 in Sacramento! I found myself disappointed at the Chase Center's walkway zigzags as wasted space and needed a minute to realize that it's possible Golden 1 is a better laid out venue.

As we walked around, we saw the United Club that is open to sideline club ticket holders. Once we walked in, the low lighting made it feel like a club with a main bar surrounded by eateries and comfortable tables and chairs. The view of the court behind Sections 101-105 was convenient. Eateries not available on the main concourse includes Filipino Sarap Shop which we ordered from (see photos). The home broadcasting booth is located inside The United Club and we saw GM Bob Myers and broadcaster Kelenna Azibuike going in and out of the booth.

We watched the first half of the game from The United Club and the 2nd half from our seats in the stadium. Once we sat in our lower level seats, this is when we felt the Chase Center difference. The seats are wider and we didn't feel scrunched like at Oracle. My female companion commented how spacious it felt to sit in the main arena as she whispered sweet nothings in my ear. The Chase Center lighting made her skin glow, her hair whipping in the nonexistent wind. I held my breath...realizing this is not the time and place since this is a Yelp review! Sorry Yelpers for getting
carried away there. Back to the review...

There are tons of cameras. Everywhere. Even if you don't notice them, they are there. I was amazed at how many cameras there were strategically placed throughout the concourse and arena in general.

But for now, I'm giving Chase Center 3 stars due to the disappointment at the claustrophic feeling of the concourse outside my Portal. I may change this rating sometime in the future as I get more used to it, but a part of me feels misled that the concourse isn't as open as advertised. And I hate to say this, but Golden 1 in Sacramento beats Chase Center in this regard. Additionally, knowing if you have access to the Pepsi Club. The United Club. The Chase Lounge or Chase Center? How do we get there? Yes a bit confusing.

Overall though this is an upgrade from Oracle Arena. We had a fun time taking Muni back to our parking garage and experiencing San Francisco as a Warriors fan and patron. It's different from Oracle for sure, but not worse in any way. Now the question. How tiring will it be for this East Bay guy to go to a Warriors game consistently?

We shall see...regardless Go Dubs!!!!

Been here a couple of times now for concerts and definitely enjoy it. The staff have always been extremely helpful, as it can be a bit confusing to navigate.

Most recently went to see Olivia Rodrigo and had an amazing experience. The staff were all very friendly and gave us directions without asking. I believe it is smaller than SAP Center in San Jose, which I like because it feels like we're closer to the artist. Did GA for Bad Bunny, and again, had a good experience with the staff.

Chase Center is a beautiful arena!
A few days ago I got to attend a free Open House for prospective Warriors subscribers. I've never been inside CC for a basketball game. Not seen any concerts there either.
I got the run of the house. Checked out the various special VIP areas and saw the NBA trophies that the Warriors won.
Chase Center provided beverages and snacks for guests.
I walked down to center court.
Enjoyed the view.
What a nice place for sports and entertainment.

Saw a Blink-182 concert at the Chase Center last night, and it was a good time! It was my first time going to this venue, so I didn't really know what to expect.

I purchased parking beforehand, which wasn't super complicated: they had people out on the street by the garage and people inside telling you where to park.

Before the doors a little after 6 (maybe 6:05-6:10), my brother and I chilled in the quad area right outside the arena. If you want to grab a bite before the show, there's a Gott's outpost (which looked slammed) and dumpling restaurant called Dumpling Time. There was also a merch station hawking new Blink-182 gear in addition to stations inside. I'm not sure if they have that for every show, tho.

Once we were inside the stadium, we grabbed some food from one of the Tony G's Slice House booths. As expected, it was very expensive, seeing as each slice was $14 and a bottle of water cost $8. The pizza was greasy and there weren't many options, but it's stadium food, so you've got to set your expectations. At least the slices were a decent size.

The best part about the Chase Center was our seats. We were seated in the first row of 114, which gave us a great view of the stage and the rest of the stadium. It was cool being able to look up and see how high up all the seats go.

There are large screens positioned over the stage, which enable people who aren't close enough to get a good look at who's preforming. My brother and I both thought the concert was super fun: everything sounded great, the lighting and pyrotechnics were impressive, and Blink-182 was as good as ever.

All in all, the Chase Center is a pretty solid concert venue.

I've been to Chase several times for Warriors games. This was my first time for a concert. We didn't want to spend too much, so we sat in the uppers. At least we were by the aisle so it was easy to get in and out to grab beverages.

Note for future me, I should definitely get my drank on before the concert. At $16ish a can, the beverages added up fast. Not to mention the cost of water! Plus, they don't give you the cap for the H2O, so I couldn't shove it in my jacket pocket. I felt like I had to finish it since there was only one cup holder and I used that for my beer. Yeah, first world problems, but I didn't think Chase wouldn't discourage staying hydrated while drinking liquor. Anyways, I gotta look up their water bottle policy since paying $24 for 3 bottles of water is a little ridiculous. Especially when you have to down it since there's no where to put it,

Enough about drinking costs. The concert was fun and our seats were fine. Tho the sound wasn't very good. It was waaay too loud. So loud, I could barely hear Janet and Nelly. Regardless, I had a good time since I adore Janet.

In regards to the Warriors, I still have a soft spot for Oracle since I went to sooo many games there. Chase seems to be missing that Roaracle heart. Tho I do think their outdoor area is lovely. Watched a few games there while sitting outside at Dumpling Time.

REVIEW #3455

I've been to Chase Center a few times now for a couple Warriors games and also a Jo Koy comedy show. It's one of the nicest sporting arenas I've ever seen. It's 10x nicer than their old Oakland arena.

Thrive City is gorgeous especially at night. It's worth it to arrive earlier than your event starts. My favorite thing at Chase Center is their Tanduay Bar, they have a couple locations inside the arena. It's a Filipino Rum Bar and they have a blended cocktail that's blue and yellow! I've tried the Filipino food stand Sarap Shop and sorry to say it actually wasn't good. I got their Longanisa Dirty dog and that wasn't worth the price. I'd skip that. On my most recent visit I got a pastrami sandwich from Sadie's Delicatessen and that was a better choice.

Their merch stores could have better items in my opinion, you'll find better Warriors fan gear elsewhere.

Other than that, Chase Center is gorgeous, and the arena looks so nice! The light shows during the games are a thing to see! I can't wait to come back for more games next season!

Help dropped off my cousin and her husband here at the Chase Center for a concert event and it was packed.

Mixed feelings about this venue. We went for the Olivia Rodrigo concert. Getting in was pretty smooth, but once inside it was a little wild. I feel like there is no flow. Everything is crammed crowded and the walkways are at a standstill. The lines for concessions and bathrooms are ridiculous. So long and don't move. The concessions are also very pricy. $10 for a drink, and if you order a bottle drink, they take the lid? No lids or straws provided. I'm not from San Francisco, so maybe this is the norm, but it's super inconvenient. The sound for the concert was decent. Not great but nothing to complain about.

Sec 223, Row 18, Seat 23-24 cost $173 total. We paid $50 for parking on top at the UCSF Third Street Garage. For what it was priced, I think our seats were decent however I wished the big screens were on and allowed us a view of the artist. Instead, we were adjacent to the stage the whole time and could barely see the performance. Still, my sister and I both had an amazing time and would come back again. The audio engineer was also amazing too.

I have been here more for sports events but first time attending a concert and even though we encountered a drunk girl who threw up all over my friends from behind and we want to give a huge shout out to Caesar for his help. We are grateful for the extra clothes they gave two of us to change in and even then upgraded us to the club level section and still made our night memorable. All the gratitude to him for and the staff jhene aiko was just stunning and that memory we will cherish forever even during the circumstances we went through.

First time visiting the Chase Center for a Janet Jackson concert and it was truly a treat . The stadium is very nice , love the design interior and seating . A good view from any seat . Also appreciate the public transportation option with Muni and Bart accessible. The facility is beautiful and excellent acoustics. The concert we enjoyed was amazing
