The game starts at 7 pm but spectators are allowed to get in as early as 3 pm. We went in at 6 pm.

Chase Center
From 1971 to 2019 the Golden State Warrior’s home base was Oakland Coliseum. The plan to move to a new area was announced in 2012. There were severwl oposi5ions coming from the community which delayed the construction atnthe proposed Pier. Warriors purchased a 12 acre land in this location and the arena was constructed thru private funding.

JPMorgan Chase bought the naming rights  to this arena on January 28, 2016.

Here we are feeling sad that Mr. Yee is not here.  Sayang ticket nya and sayang wala sya, we’re not complete.

Wow,  fancy.
Modern interior with blue lighting and escalators.
Sayang kumain pa kami sa SOMA StrEat Food Park.  The kind of ticket we have pala gives us the privilege to enter the Chase Club where there’s unlimited food and beverage.  Alcoholic drinks have a limit to avoid people to get drunk and become rowdy at the game.
People socializing at a bar with chandeliers and blue-lit shelves.
We cannot eat anymore, we are too full but I will grab a small slice of pizza (just to taste  if it’s good), popcorn, and water.

Actually,  coming here is risky.  There are thousands of people and this can be a super spreader event.   Notice my double mask.  I am not sure if I can last wearing this thick cover over my nose for two straight hours.   Baka hindi na ako makahinga.   Ayokong mahimatay dito, malagay pa ako sa tv buhat-buhat naka stretcher.

After this vacation,  I will see my son maybe in after 10 months, I hope sooner because I miss him already.  We haven’t left and I am beginning to feel sad already(#mommydrama). Edmund and I will be busy when we get back in Manila. We hope to be able to visit Nyke within a year.

Where are you guys? It’s now 6:23.

My son feels both sad and guilty that his dad isn’t here with us.    In retrospect, He shouldn’t not bave forwarded Edmund the eTicket, but who knows the program would malfunction or something would go wrong along the way?
