Best seats
Lower bowl is tech-money expensive; the 200-level is the value with great sightlines in this new arena. Thrive City plaza outside is lively pre-game with bay views.
Parking
Very limited on-site and pricey — the arena actively pushes transit; Mission Bay garages fill fast. ($50–75 (scarce) USD)
Getting there
Muni T-Third light rail to UCSF/Chase Center, or walk ~15 min from Caltrain (4th & King). Transit strongly recommended.
Bar scene
Thrive City plaza and Mission Bay have modern bars/restaurants; a short ride to SoMa or the Mission for more. Sleeker than a classic barn.
Pre-game bars
- Thrive City plaza bars — Right outside the arena.
- SoMa / Mission Bay spots — Short walk or ride.
Concession prices (USD, approx)
- Standard beer (16 oz), 2024-25$17.00

- Garlic fries$12
Prices vary by stand and size and may change.
Insider tips
