A new light rail station for the T-Third Street train was constructed directly in front of the stadium. This long station replaced the shorter (and to be removed) 16th Street station a block further down the street. For those unfamiliar with San Francisco, Third Street crosses all the other higher numbered streets.

The front plaza of the Chase Center could just be seen when viewed from the point of view of the light-rail station. The curved stadium was barely visible between two other street facing buildings.

The sign that identified the Chase Center was posted high on the front of the stadium facing third street. It read, " Chase [logo] Center."

The building to the left was built at the same time and by the same people that built Chase Center's stadium. It is an office building with a (coming soon) restaurant at the plaza level.

Stairs led up the the plaza (a ramp was off to the left of this shot). Wooden pieces were stacked to form lovely bench seating. Lights lit the steps to avoid any chance of a misstep.

VIP entry was available at the very front of the stadium. To the left of the VIP entry were the entries for all the other people. Those other entries had metal detectors to screen entrants.

Ordinary Folk had to pass through security checks to gain entry.

A wide staircase, composed of steps and seating, wound its way up the side of a mushroom shaped building between the stadium and the street.

The box office was closed that Sunday morning, but had room for four people to sell tickets.
