Chase Center

Chase Center is a multi-purpose indoor arena in the Mission Bay neighborhood of San Francisco, California, United States. It is the home of the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA), Golden State Valkyries of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), and occasionally for the University of San Francisco men's and women's basketball teams in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The Santa Cruz Warriors of the NBA G League play one home game per season at Chase Center. Chase Center opened on September 6, 2019, and seats 18,064 for basketball games. The Warriors, who have been located in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1962, played their home games at Oakland Arena in Oakland from 1971 to 2019 (except 1996–97, when the franchise temporarily relocated to the SAP Center in San Jose while the Oakland Arena was under renovation). During Valkyries games, Chase Center is nicknamed "Ballhalla", a reference to Valhalla of Norse mythology, where Valkyries would bring select fallen warriors. The arena also includes the Warriors’ practice facility known as the Oracle Performance Center. The Chase Center is the second youngest arena in the NBA, after the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
