The NBA All-Star Weekend last came to the Bay Area in 2000 in Oakland where the Warriors played host. Fast forward 25 years, the All-Star event could make its debut in San Francisco.

After playing in Oakland from 1971-2019, the Warriors moved their franchise across the Bay Bridge to San Francisco in September 2019. The 2025 All-Star weekend would mark the first league-wide event at Chase Center.

Chase Center hosted the NBA Finals in 2022 and NCAA Tournament games for March Madness in 2022.

Warriors to welcome limited fans back at Chase Center starting on April 23

With nine home games remaining on the slate, the Golden State Warriors will welcome up to 35% of fans at San Francisco’s Chase Center.

The last time the Golden State Warriors played in front of the Dub Nation fanbase was March 7, 2020. Soon, Steph Curry, Draymond Green, James Wiseman and the rest of the Warriors will be able to hear the live cheers of their home fanbase.

After playing most of their home games in an empty arena due to coronavirus social distancing guidelines, the Warriors will soon welcome back fans at San Francisco’s Chase Center.

On Thursday, the Warriors announced that Chase Center has been approved to host fans for the regular season’s remaining nine home games, beginning on April 23. According to guidelines set by the California State Department of Public Health, Chase Center will be able to hold up to 35% of the arena’s capacity.

Via @warriors on Twitter:

To watch the Warriors live at Chase Center, all fans will have to provide proof of a complete vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test within 48 hours of the game’s start.

Warriors use Chase Center’s massive video scoreboard to play NBA 2K inside The Dubble

While the Warriors are inside The Dubble, Damion Lee and Juan Toscano-Anderson got to use Chase Center’s video scoreboard to play NBA 2K.

Over the last two weeks, members of the Golden State Warriors have returned to the Bay Area for a voluntary offseason minicamp.

Golden State’s players and coaches are residing in a campus-like atmosphere in San Francisco. When they’re not scrimmaging or going through drills on the court at practice, the Warriors need to fill their time inside the Bay Area edition of the Orlando Bubble.

On Saturday, a pair of Warriors transformed Chase Center into their own personal gaming room. Damion Lee and Juan Toscano-Anderson used the arena’s center court scoreboard monitor to play a game of NBA 2K. Lee and Toscano-Anderson matched up between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Indiana Pacers.

Via @warriors on Twitter:

Chase Center’s video monitor is currently the largest center court display in the NBA, standing at 9,699 square feet.

If the players or coaches don’t decide to play NBA 2K, the Warriors have converted a room at Chase Center into a player’s lounge for the duration of camp. The lounge features games like cornhole, ping pong and pool.

The Warriors will close out camp inside “The Dubble” on Tuesday, Oct. 6.

Warriors transform upstairs room at Chase Center into lounge for players and coaches during offseason minicamp

While the Golden State Warriors stay in a campus setting during their offseason minicamp, a room at the Chase Center has been transformed into a players’ lounge.

After missing out on an invitation to the NBA’s restart at Disney World, the Golden State Warriors have created a bubble of their own. For the first time since the season was put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, members of the Warriors returned to the grounds of San Francisco’s Chase Center for team practices.

When they’re not working out at the practice facility, members of the Warriors will reside in Golden State’s campus-like atmosphere. The Warriors will live in the Bay Area bubble for the next two weeks.

While it’s not the NBA’s campus at Disney World, Golden State’s players and coaches will have some options for entertainment during their stay in “The Dubble.”

In a post-practice call with members of the media, Steve Kerr said the Warriors had transformed an upstairs room at the Chase Center into a lounge for players and coaches. The players’ lounge will feature games like cornhole, ping pong and pool.

Steve Kerr via Warriors Sound Cloud:

We’ve got a lot of entertainment. We’ve got a really good setup for the players and coaches to have a lot of fun, and a lot of bonding and camaraderie. We’ve got an upstairs room in Chase that we’ve kind of set up as a player lounge. It’s got a deck so we can get outside and get some fresh air and sunshine. And it’s sort of a big arcade. You’ve got a bunch of games — ping pong tables, cornhole and pool tables, so you know the players and coaches are going to spend a lot of time here at Chase.

Outside of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, a majority of Golden State’s championship core have moved on to new teams outside of the Bay Area. The Warriors offseason minicamp could serve as an opportunity for Golden State’s new arrivals to get familiar with Thompson and others before a crucial offseason begins.

Warriors open ‘The Dubble’ offseason voluntary minicamp at Chase Center

With similarities to the Orlando Bubble, the Golden State Warriors are nicknaming their voluntary minicamp at Chase Center “The Dubble.”

Without an invite to Disney World, the Golden State Warriors are opening their own edition of the Orlando Bubble. On Monday, the Warriors kicked off a voluntary offseason minicamp at Chase Center in San Francisco.

Before they hit the court, players and coaching staff will go through coronavirus testing and a 48-hour quarantine period. During the camp, members of the Warriors will stay in a campus-like atmosphere. With similarities to the Orlando Bubble, the Warriors are nicknaming their minicamp “The Dubble.”

Via @warriors on Twitter:

Following the tests and quarantine period, players will take the court at Chase Center for practices that are slated to include group workouts and team scrimmages. The voluntary minicamp will serve as Golden State’s first form of organized basketball activities since the league was put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic in March.

Although Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are considered doubtful for The Dubble due to family reasons, a familiar face will make his long-awaited return to Chase Center. After missing the entire 2019-20 season with a knee injury, Klay Thompson is expected to be on the floor.

[lawrence-related id=31339]

With Thompson medically cleared to train without restrictions, Golden State’s minicamp will serve as his first chance to join 2019 newcomers Andrew Wiggins, Eric Paschall and Marquese Chriss on the court for practice.

The Warriors are scheduled to break camp on Oct. 6.

Warriors to open facilities in the Bay Area to serve as polling sites for the November election

The Golden State Warriors will open their facilities across the Bay Area to serve as polling locations for the 2020 general election.

On Friday, the Golden State Warriors announced the opening of different Bay Area locations for the 2020 general election.

In November, the Warriors will open their facilities in Oakland, Santa Cruz and San Francisco to serve as polling sites for election day. The team’s Oakland facility and their G League affiliate’s home in Santa Cruz will serve as a polling site and ballot drop-off location on Nov. 3.

Chase Center’s outdoor location “Thrive City” in San Francisco will be accepting drop off ballots from Oct. 31-Nov. 3.

Via @warriors on Twitter:

Following the NBA strike in the Orlando Bubble after the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, players demanded league arenas be used as polling posts for the 2020 general election.

Members of the Golden State Warriors have been active leading up to November’s election. In a virtual message with their family, Stephen and Ayesha Curry endorsed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris at the Democratic National Convention. Curry’s teammate Draymond Green joined the LeBron James led “More Than a Vote” initiative.

The Warriors are currently in competition with the Atlanta Hawks with “Voters Win.” The two franchises are competing to see who can get the most members from their fanbase pledging to vote on election day.

Report: NBA and NBPA are in ‘serious talks’ for in-market bubbles for the eight non-restart teams

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the NBA and NBPA are in “serious talks” for the Golden State Warriors and the seven other non-restart teams to join in-market practice bubbles.

It’s been over five months since the Golden State Warriors suited up for a basketball game.

Although NBA action has returned to the court at Disney World, the Warriors are one of eight teams not included in the NBA’s restart plans. Despite their league-worst record eliminating Golden State from the Orlando Bubble, the Warriors could be making their way back to the court for practice in September.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the NBA and NBPA are in “serious talks” for in-market bubbles for the eight teams outside the Orlando Bubble. The in-market bubble program would include daily testing for the coronavirus, individual workouts and group practices with five-on-five scrimmages.

Via @ShamsCharania on Twitter:

With coronavirus restrictions in place, the Warriors have been limited to individual workouts at Chase Center in San Francisco. An in-market bubble would provide Golden State the chance to practice together for the first time in months.

[lawrence-related id=28903]

After injuries ravaged Golden State’s rotation in 2019-20, the Warriors could use extra court time as a unit. New arrivals Andrew Wiggins, Marquese Chriss and Eric Paschall have only spent limited time on the floor with Golden State’s Splash Brother duo. With Steph Curry and Klay Thompson healthy, Steve Kerr and Bob Myers could get a glimpse at what the Warriors could look like in the 2020-21 season.

VIDEO: Some Warriors players return to Chase Center to practice

The Golden State Warriors tweeted a video of five players in Chase Center.

The Golden State Warriors have returned to Chase Center.

The week after the city of San Francisco gave the Warriors permission to use the arena, with a set of guidelines, the team Twitter account posted a video with a handful of players practicing.

Steph Curry, Damion Lee, Kevon Looney, Chasson Randle and Juan Toscano-Anderson were in the video, with Looney riding an elliptical machine.

The NBA may not be back, but in seeing these videos, there’s sense that basketball has returned.

In late April, the NBA released guidelines for how facilities would be allowed to be opened to players. Rules included no more than four players were allowed in the facility at the same time, and no group activity was allowed.

Report: Warriors reopen practice facility to players for individual workouts

The Golden State Warriors have returned to their practice facility in San Francisco for the first time in over two months.

Prior to the NBA season going on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, the last time the Golden State Warriors laced up for a game in the Chase Center was March 10 against the Los Angeles Clippers.

While it’s not ready for live games, members of the Golden State Warriors have returned to their San Francisco home for the first time in over two months.

According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, the Bay Area basketball arena became the latest facility to reopen doors for players to return to the court. “About five players” participated in workouts on the first day Chase Center was back open for business, according to Slater.

Via @AnthonyVSlater on Twitter:

Last week, San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced the next installment of phases to reopen the city — including professional sports teams returning to practice with approval from public health officials. In Phase 2B of San Francisco’s reopening guidelines, professional sports teams are allowed to host games without spectators as soon as June 15.

Teams across the NBA are returning to facilities as the league prepares to return to game action. Although the Warriors league-worst 15-50 record has likely ended their season, it’s crucial for players to have the ability to get back on the court after a lengthy layoff.

After missing a significant chunk of the 2019-20 season, working Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson back on the court alongside newcomers Andrew Wiggins, Eric Paschall and Marquese Chriss is a significant step as the Warriors offseason is set in motion.
