The Chase Center is located in SF's Mission Bay District. The new facility is right on the water and is just being built up. There are no hotels right around the facility, but here are a few that are easy to access via public transit or by car.
LUMA Hotel San Francisco: This is the closest hotel to the Chase Center. It's a 4-star gem that is just a half mile away. It's in a newer building with amazing reviews. It has private parking, a fitness center, and also close to the Central Subway Mission Rock Station so you can easily get to Union Square and downtown SF. 100 Channel Street. Find room rates and availability.
Hyatt Place SF Downtown: This hotel is in the China Basin District, which is just a couple of stops away on public transit. It's about a mile walk too, if you prefer to explore on foot on your way to a game. This 3-star hotel has a bar/restaurant on site as well as free internet and breakfast. Some of the rooms have amazing views of the city and/or waterfront area. It's at 701 3rd Street. Find room rates and availability
Hotel Via: Just a few doors down from the Hyatt Place is Hotel Via. This 4-star hotel has soundproof rooms, suites, and a rooftop terrace. It's another great find that is relatively close to the Chase Center. It's at 138 King Street. Find rates and guest reviews here
The best way to get to the game is to take public transportation. Muni has a station right across the street from the Chase Center, making it an easy walk from there.
The stop is UCSF/Chase Center and is serviced by the T line. The T runs directly from Union Square to the stadium and takes only about 15 minutes.
You can use your ticket for the game as your ticket for the train.
In addition to the Muni light rail line, there will also be shuttles taking people from downtown BART Stations. There will also be a game and concert only ferry service that runs from Larkspur, Oakland, and Alameda to Mission Bay (just north of the stadium).
Driving is an option, but is going to be a real challenge at the new stadium. There are a limited number of parking spaces and not nearly enough to meet the needs of all attendees.
There is also little parking in the neighborhood, so I highly recommend taking public transit to get here.
The Bay Area's beloved NBA team was first established in Philadelphia in 1946, then relocated and became the San Francisco Warriors in 1962. Later the name changed to Golden State, suggesting that the team represented all of California (they had been playing home games in SF, Daly City, Oakland, San Jose, and even San Diego).
From 1972 to 2019, the Oakland Arena became the team's exclusive home, where they clenched a legendary home-court NBA Finals Game 5 win in 2017.
Since the early 2010s, the Warriors have been led by the all-star team consisting of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. In 2015, they won their first NBA Championship in 40 years, marking the beginning of a dynasty.
The team went on to play in the NBA finals for five consecutive years, winning three (2015, 2017, 2018).
The popular Warriors, affectionately known as the "Dubs," moved to the Chase Center in San Francisco in 2019 and suffered some setbacks and injuries. However, the superstar team is once again on top as the 2021/2022 NBA Champs.
For five consecutive years from 2015 to 2019, the Warriors made it to the NBA Finals. Remarkably, four of those were against the same team, the Cleveland Cavaliers. They managed to win three titles in those four years, in 2015, 2017, and 2018.
During the 2019 Finals series, the Golden State Warriors suffered some injuries and ended up losing to the Toronto Raptors in six games. In 2022, they came back to clench a Game 6 win against the Boston Celtics.
In total, the franchise has reached 12 NBA Finals and won seven championships: 1947, 1956, 1975, 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2022.
The Warriors hold the NBA record for best regular season with 73-9 wins. In recent years, the team has enjoyed the on-court leadership of stars Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, among others.
Curry is one of the few NBA players in history to win back-to-back MVP honors.
Other Warriors Hall of Famers include Wilt Chamberlain, Rick Barry, and Nate Thurmond.
