2Chase CenterExpensive parking, expensive beer, undeniably great basketball. I budget for this trip like it's a small vacation.Chase Center1 Warriors WaySan Francisco
3Levi's StadiumYes it's technically Santa Clara, no I will not stop calling it my hometown stadium. Niners win and I lose my dry humor entirely!Levi's Stadium4900 Marie P DeBartolo Way, Santa ClaraSanta Clara
4Mechanics' Institute Chess ClubOldest chess club in the country and also where I lose rent money in increments of five dollars every Thursday night.Mechanics' Institute Chess Club57 Post Street, 4th FloorSan Francisco
5San Francisco Bay Club Gateway (pickup basketball courts)Where I discovered my jump shot has a backend bug I have not yet patched. Still, decent pickup games on weekends.Crocker Amazon Playground courts799 Moscow StreetSan Francisco
6Golden Gate Park Polo FieldsGreat for a slow jog that convinces me I'm an athlete. The bison nearby seem unimpressed either way.Golden Gate Park Polo Fields1000 John F Kennedy DriveSan Francisco
