Chase Center is going to set a new standard for sports arenas in the U.S.
The Golden State Warriors' new, $1.4 billion arena in San Francisco is slated to open in 2019, and the team will move from Oracle Arena in Oakland to the new building next season.
The arena is self-financed by the team and widely expected to be the nicest arena in the U.S. - at least for a while.
The complex features two entrances, a giant outdoor video board, outdoor plaza with restaurants and shops, two offices rented by Uber, a public park, and luxurious suites. There is already a 44,000-person waiting list for season tickets.
Business Insider sat down with Warriors president Rick Welts, who has had a major hand in the planning and development of Chase Center, to go over renderings and learn more about the newest feature in the Bay Area.
