Chase Center is the new home of the Golden State Warriors NBA team in San Francisco, LA. In addition to basketball games, Chase Center also hosts many non-sports events year round.
Here are the Chase Center Parking tips for your next event.
Official Parking around Chase Center
The two official parking garages that are next to the venue are the Mercedes-Benz Garage and Warriors Way Garage. The Mercedes-Benz Garage is on 390 16th Street and 99 Warriors Way while the Warriors Way Garage is on 150 Warriors Way. You can purchase parking at either of these garages using this link from TicketMaster. As a note, parking rates will vary depending on the event you are going to.
Finally, be sure to visit the official parking page of Chase Center for the most up to date information.
My Recommendation on Parking + Experience with SpotHero
I’ve had much success using SpotHero over the years to save money when I travel. The parking rates outside of Chase Center are some of the most expensive in the NBA, so it is in your best interest to see what SpotHero offers. From my experience, I’ve saved around 30% on average on parking against what the official garages go for when using this service. The walk takes about 10 minutes, which is the only downside of using an official lot. However, I like to take the savings on parking and use that to pick up food and drinks at the stadium I visit. The further you are willing to park from the arena, the less you will pay.
Also, I’ve had friends who have gone to Chase Center and parked at the official parking garages at the stadium. They had to pay $120 for parking, while SpotHero had listings for about half that, if not more. This is something to consider when you are traveling to the arena for a game.
Chase Center Handicap Parking Spots
There are ADA parking spots for fans to use at the parking lots around the stadium, but plan to arrive early to claim these spots. Fans should use SpotHero above to reserve ADA parking spaces as parking fills up very quickly for a Warriors game. In addition to reserving parking, fans should also remember to show a valid State ID and parking pass to leave their cars in these ADA spaces.
Can you Tailgate in the Parking Lots?
There is no tailgating at the arena, but there are plenty of bars near the venue to visit. Some fan-favorite bars include Yield Wine Bar, Cockscomb, Hogwash, and Topsy’s Fun House. Warriors fans also enjoy going to the Third Rail, Zita Wine Bar, and the Fly Trap before and after a game.
Here is the Chase Center Food guide to see what you can get at the stadium. Also, be sure to visit the Chase Center Bag Policy guide to see what you can and can’t bring into the venue.
Should I Take Public Transportation?
There are plenty of ways to use public transportation to get to Chase Center. Fans can take the Muni Bus, Caltrain, and the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) to get to and from the venue. Muni officials are expanding the T-Third platform at the UCSF/Chase Center stop to anticipate large crowds on game days. Muni also provides two express bus shuttles from the downtown to the arena for games and events too.
While a bit of a walk, fans can consider taking the BART or ferry to the game. The nearest BART station stop is one and a half miles away from the arena at Powell Street. Taking the BART is the best option if you are coming from Silicon Valley, up the Peninsula, or East Bay. A ferry service will be available for fans to use to get to the arena for events as well. Currently, fans can take a $14 ferry across the bay to get to San Francisco Giants baseball games, so this will be an option for Warriors games too.
Finally, another way to get to and from the venue is to use a rideshare program.
