A Privately Funded Gem in Mission Bay
Chase Center anchors the Mission Bay district, a rapidly redeveloped neighborhood along San Francisco’s waterfront. Groundbreaking took place on January 17, 2017, and the arena was completed in time for the Warriors’ 2019–20 season. Notably, the venue was built entirely with private investment — no public subsidies — a distinction that set it apart from the vast majority of major American sports facilities built in the same era.
The arena features six clubs, 136 luxury suites, and over 200 pieces of museum-quality artwork curated as part of the Chase Center Art Collection, weaving cultural programming into the sporting experience.
Beyond Basketball: A Premier Entertainment Destination
Chase Center rapidly became one of the highest-grossing arenas in the United States, drawing sold-out concerts, combat sports cards, and esports championships. The 2022 League of Legends World Championship final attracted a massive global audience, while the 2022 NCAA Tournament West Regional and the 2025 NBA All-Star Game underscored its capacity for large-scale sporting spectacles.
JPMorgan Chase secured naming rights as far back as January 2016 — years before the building broke ground — signaling the enormous commercial appetite for a marquee venue in one of the country’s most affluent metropolitan markets.
