'Modern basketball palace:' A longtime Warriors season ticket holder reviews Chase Center

Vivek is a longtime Warriors season ticket holder, attending hundreds of games over the last 15 years. SFGATE asked Vivek, who attended Thursday night's season opener, to compare the new Chase Center to Oracle Arena.

The moment it really hit me was leaving work. Instead of heading down to BART and settling in for the half-hour journey to the Coliseum, I hopped on my bicycle for the short ride over to the Chase Center. This, I realized, would be a whole new ballgame.

Despite my skepticism, after taking in the opener at Chase, it’s hard not to love the new digs.
