The 18,000-seat arena, set to open in time for the 2019-20 basketball season, will be called the Chase Center. Financial terms were not released, but naming rights experts said the deal probably exceeds the high-water mark for basketball arenas, the $200 million that Barclays paid to put its name on the home of New York’s Brooklyn Nets. While naming deals are not typically struck until a venue is well under construction, the fact that the Warriors are financing the arena privately gave the team incentive to strike the agreement sooner. Guaranteed revenue from the naming rights should give potential lenders confidence as the Warriors seek financing for the $1 billion arena.
