The Chase Center is a proposed multi-use indoor arena in San Francisco, California. It would mainly be used for basketball, becoming the new home of the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors, who have called the Bay Area home since the 1960s, have played their home games in Oakland since 1971.
Location and Design
The name of the Chase Center was announced on January 28, 2016 as part of an agreement with JPMorgan Chase.[1][2][3] The planned location for the Chase Center, the proposed next Golden State Warriors arena, is in San Francisco, California.[4] It will be implemented on Third St & 16th St in San Francisco.[5] The location is near the water close to the piers and will have an overlook of the water.[3] The area will have multiple layers and floors and will be able to hold 18,000 people within the structure. It will also include a multi-purpose area that includes a theater configuration with an entrance overlooking a newly built park. It will contain 580,000 gross square feet of office and lab space and have 100,000 gross square feet of retail space. The construction will include a parking space of about 950 spaces and will be accessible to the public transportation around the area.[4] A new subway line is also now under construction that will link the arena and UCSF to downtown hotels, convention centers and to subway and commuter rail lines that serve the entire Bay Area. With their 1 billion dollar investment, the Chase Center will anchor a district of 11 acres of restaurants, cafes, offices, public plazas and a new five-and-a half-acre public waterfront park.[3]
Planned opening
The plan for building a new arena was announced on May 22, 2012 at a Golden State Warriors press conference at the proposed site, attended by San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, NBA Commissioner David Stern, Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber, and Warriors staff and city officials.[6] A new privately financed, $500 million 17,000 to 19,000 seat arena was planned to be located on Pier 30-32 along the San Francisco Bay waterfront, situated between the San Francisco Ferry Building and AT&T Park.[7] A month after the proposal, the South Beach-Rincon-Mission Bay Neighborhood Association criticized the site and said that a second major league sport venue in the area would make it no longer "family friendly".[8] Former San Francisco mayor Art Agnos began speaking to dozens of community gatherings in opposition to the proposed arena, stating that the project was pushed by two out-of-town billionaires and would severely impact traffic and city views.[9] On December 30, 2013, a ballot proposition was submitted to the city titled the Waterfront Height Limit Right to Vote Act.[10] The initiative made it onto the June 2014 ballot as Proposition B, and its passage would affect three major waterfront developments, including the proposed Warriors stadium.[11]
On April 19, 2014, the Warriors abandoned plans for the pier site and purchased a 12-acre site owned by Salesforce.com at the Mission Bay neighborhood for an undisclosed amount. The arena project will be financed privately.[12] The plan first had hopes of being completed in 2017 but since then has been pushed back because of disagreements with the project in hopes of it being voided.[5] The architect for the project is the company AECOM and the current plan for the Chase Center is having it built by 2019.[4] The Golden State Warriors have hopes of making their debut in the newly built Chase Center for the NBA 2019-2020 season.[citation needed] The plan for the Chase Center to open earlier was pushed back multiple times due to many complaints about the space it is being built in.[5] Operation on the Chase Center will be set to begin in 2017 with hopes of it being completed by 2019 before the NBA season starts.[4] The project had hopes of being completed in 2018 but got pushed back to a later date.[5] The construction bid is set to happen on April 4, 2016 where Architects will be discussing the following: Shoring, auger cast piles, metal deck, precast Stadia, Architectural precast, fire protection, plumbing, metal stairs, excavation and earthwork, structural steel, curtain wall and secondary support structure, metal panels, rainscreen assembly, architectural louvers, elevators, escalators, HVAC, controls, electrical, fire alarm, and underground utilities. All of these will be checked and implemented to make sure that the Chase Center is safe, secure, and able to hold over 18,000 people in the building at one time.[4]
Arguments and opposition
As of now, the Chase Center has seen complaints of the planned construction by the Mission Bay Alliance. In April 2015, the Mission Bay site got its first formal opposition from the Mission Bay Alliance, which cited traffic, lack of parking, and use of space that could go to UCSF expansion among other things as their reasons for opposition. Their complaint is that the Chase Center will be located right near UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital and AT&T Park and will create more traffic in San Francisco. They also argued that the plan intends on using public money for private development. Others say that this area can be used to expand the campus of UCSF.[5] To avoid the plan to build the Chase Center being voided, representatives of the project have been working to address these issues such as traffic and parking.[13] Any other opposition to the construction of the Chase Center doesn't slow down the plans for the intended construction of the Chase Center which as of now is still set to happen in 2017.[4]
