How Much Is Parking at Chase Center?
Parking at Chase Center ranges from roughly $20 to $50+ per event depending on the lot, proximity to the arena, and how far in advance you book.
The two official Chase Center garages — the Mercedes-Benz Garage at 99 Warriors Way and the Warriors Way Garage at 150 Warriors Way — carry the highest demand and prices. Third-party lots operated nearby, including the garage at 1800 Owens Street, list event pricing starting around $50, while the lot at 19th Street and Illinois Street and the 690 Tennessee Street lot can start as low as $11–$12 for fans willing to walk a few extra blocks. Lot A at 74 Mission Rock Street offers another alternative when Oracle Park is not hosting events, with rates starting around $9–$10.
Platforms like SpotHero, SeatGeek, and ParkWhiz list prepaid passes for Chase Center events starting in the $17–$20 range for lots farther from the arena, with prices rising steeply as event day approaches. Booking early is the most reliable way to secure a lower rate.
Chase Center Parking Lots and Maps
Chase Center has two official on-site garages plus several nearby third-party lots that cover the full range of distances and budgets.
The Mercedes-Benz Garage (99 Warriors Way) is the closest official option and offers covered, well-maintained parking with EV charging on the second level. The Warriors Way Garage (150 Warriors Way) sits directly adjacent to the arena and is the designated location for ADA parking. Both garages require prepaid passes and generally open at 5 p.m. for weeknight events and 3 p.m. for weekend games; both close at midnight and do not allow overnight parking. Vehicles taller than 6 feet 8 inches are not permitted in the Mercedes-Benz Garage without prior authorization.
Third-party controlled lots at 1800 Owens Street and 19th Street/Illinois Street are available for purchase on-site. Lot A at 74 Mission Rock Street (near Oracle Park) is another option on non-Giants game days. Additional independently operated garages at 1000 3rd Street (from $30) and 2000 3rd Street (from $25) are within walking distance. You can reserve parking in the surrounding area via the Warriors + Chase Center Mobile App or at chasecenter.com/parking.
A full parking map for Chase Center events can be found on the official Chase Center website and via the Warriors + Chase Center Mobile App, which updates availability in real time.
Preferred/Premium Parking at Chase Center
The closest and most premium parking at Chase Center is the Mercedes-Benz Garage at 99 Warriors Way, which offers direct covered access to the arena and EV charging stations on the second level.
Both the Mercedes-Benz Garage and the Warriors Way Garage are classified as preferred parking and require prepaid passes purchased in advance through Ticketmaster or chasecenter.com/parking. These passes are event-specific and limited in number, so they often sell out well before game day. Approaching from the north, fans with Mercedes-Benz Garage passes (labeled MBG) should head to 150 Warriors Way from Terry Francois Boulevard and get into the far-left lane. Fans approaching from the south should head to 390 16th Street from Terry Francois Boulevard and get into the center lane. Warriors Way Garage pass holders (labeled WWG) should head to 150 Warriors Way and use the center lane.
For EV drivers, ChargePoint AC/Level 2 chargers are available on the second level of the 99 Warriors Way Garage on a first-come, first-served basis. A valid parking pass for that event is required to access an EV charging space. Download the ChargePoint app before arriving to start a charging session without delay.
Free Parking Near Chase Center
True free parking near Chase Center is very difficult to find on event days, but budget-conscious fans have a few options worth considering.
Street parking meters in the Mission Bay and surrounding neighborhoods are active during events at elevated event rates — up to $7 per hour — and Residential Permit Parking (RPP) enforcement runs until 10 p.m. on streets around the arena. Metered blocks near the venue include sections of 16th Street between 7th and Vermont, though new signs alert drivers to check meters for current event-day rates. Arriving well before the event start time improves your chances of finding a metered spot before they fill up.
Fans willing to walk 10–15 minutes can sometimes find free or low-cost street parking farther into the Potrero Hill or Dogpatch neighborhoods, which are east and northeast of the arena. That said, free parking near Chase Center on a Warriors game night is rare. For budget fans, the best play is skipping the car entirely: your Chase Center event ticket is valid as a free Muni ride for the entire day of the event, making public transit the top money-saving alternative.
Can You Tailgate at Chase Center?
Tailgating is not permitted in any Chase Center parking lots.
The arena’s official policy prohibits tailgating in all controlled lots, including the Mercedes-Benz Garage and the Warriors Way Garage. Fans looking to gather before tip-off are directed to Thrive City, the outdoor plaza surrounding the arena, where multiple food and beverage retailers operate before every event. Restaurants and bars throughout the Mission Bay neighborhood also provide pre-game options within walking distance of the arena.
Because the garages are structured facilities rather than open surface lots, and because Chase Center is situated in a dense urban neighborhood adjacent to a UCSF medical campus, there is no practical space for traditional tailgating. Plan to arrive at Thrive City 60–90 minutes before tip-off to enjoy the pre-game atmosphere without worrying about parking lot restrictions.
ADA and Handicap Parking at Chase Center
ADA parking at Chase Center is available at both the Mercedes-Benz Garage (99 Warriors Way) and the Warriors Way Garage (150 Warriors Way), on a first-come, first-served basis.
Fans requiring accessible parking must pre-purchase a parking pass through Ticketmaster as an add-on to their event ticket, selecting the ADA Parking option. Upon arrival, drivers should head to 150 Warriors Way from Terry Francois Boulevard, get into the rightmost lane, display their placard, and inform the parking attendant of their accessibility needs. If accessible spots in the garage are filled, Chase Center staff will make every effort to direct guests to parking near an accessible entrance.
Paratransit drop-off and pick-up is available at the corner of Terry Francois Boulevard and 16th Street, with access into Chase Center through the East Entrance. Complimentary wheelchair escorts are also available: guests can request one at the Guest Services Station on the Main Concourse above the West Entrance, at Portal 47, or by texting (833)-CC4FANS. For specific ADA parking questions, email guestexperiences@warriors.com.
Uber and Lyft Drop-Off at Chase Center
The official rideshare drop-off and pick-up location at Chase Center is along Terry A Francois Boulevard, where designated white-curb passenger loading zones are available for curbside drop-off.
When booking your Uber or Lyft, simply enter ‘Chase Center’ as your destination and the app will route your driver to the correct zone. There are multiple designated pick-up and drop-off zones located within one block of Chase Center. After the event, Chase Center advises fans to exit the arena before requesting a ride, then let the app show the best nearby pick-up point. On busy nights, rideshare wait times in the immediate area can be long.
A practical tip from Chase Center: after the game, consider walking toward the 4th and King Caltrain station before requesting your Lyft or Uber. Getting even a few blocks away from the post-game surge makes it significantly easier to get matched with a driver and can cut your wait time considerably.
Public Transit to Chase Center
Chase Center is a transit-first destination, and your event ticket serves as a free Muni ride pass for the entire day of the event — making public transit the most cost-effective way to get to the arena.
The Muni T Third line has a stop directly at Chase Center (UCSF/Chase Center station on 3rd Street). The Central Subway expanded the T Third route, connecting Chinatown-Rose Pak and Union Square/Market Street stations to Chase Center and saving riders up to 20 minutes of travel time. The most common connection point is Powell Station: riders can exit BART at Powell and connect underground to the Union Square/Market Street Station, then board the T Third or the S Shuttle Mission Bay directly to Chase Center. Muni Route 78X also provides event-day express shuttle service from 16th St Mission BART to Chase Center; the stop is on 16th Street near Illinois Street.
BART runs until midnight Monday through Sunday, with the last East Bay train at 12:26 a.m. and the last South Bay train at 1:02 a.m. Caltrain fans should ride to the 4th and King Street station, then either transfer to the Muni T Third platform across the street or walk approximately 15–20 minutes to Chase Center. Ferry service is available for Warriors game days from Oakland (Jack London Square) and Alameda via San Francisco Bay Ferry, and from Larkspur via Golden Gate Ferry, with boats docking at the Mission Bay Interim Ferry Landing at Pier 48 ½ — about a half-mile north of Chase Center on Terry Francois Boulevard. Muni bus lines 22, 48, 55, 78X, and 79X also operate during Chase Center events.
Chase Center Parking Tips
The single most important Chase Center parking tip is to prepay before event day — both official garages sell out in advance and walk-up options are extremely limited in the Mission Bay neighborhood.
Book through chasecenter.com/parking or the Warriors + Chase Center Mobile App to access the Mercedes-Benz Garage (99 Warriors Way) and Warriors Way Garage (150 Warriors Way). Have your parking pass barcode pulled up and ready to scan before you reach the attendant to speed up garage entry. Note that Warriors Way and 16th Street both run one-way westbound toward the garage entrances on event days, so plan your driving route from Terry Francois Boulevard accordingly.
For the best value, target third-party lots at 19th Street/Illinois Street or 690 Tennessee Street — both start under $15 and are a manageable walk to the arena. If the Giants also have a home game, Lot A at 74 Mission Rock Street will be unavailable, and nearby parking will tighten significantly. On nights with concurrent Oracle Park events, factor in extra travel time. For EV drivers, download the ChargePoint app ahead of time to activate Level 2 charging at the 99 Warriors Way Garage without delay. Finally, skip the car when possible: your event ticket is your free Muni pass, and the T Third drops riders off steps from the arena entrance.
