How to Build a New Arena in San Francisco: A Conversation with Rick Welts, President and COO of the Golden State Warriors

Business Member Event

Business Member Event

The Golden State Warriors' new $1 billion, privately-funded arena broke ground in San Francisco’s Mission Bay neighborhood in January 2017. As well as being the new home for the Warriors, Chase Center will host nearly 200 events a year and anchor an 11-acre district of restaurants, cafés, offices, public plazas and a new five-and-a-half-acre public waterfront park.

Join Rick Welts, president and COO of the Golden State Warriors, to hear how he navigated negotiations with local stakeholders in the face of strong opposition. Rick will also give an update on construction and talk about his experience as one of the most respected leaders within the NBA.

Rick's presentation will be followed by an opportunity for Q&A.
