About this Event:
Watch the game against Sacramento Kings seated together in the Modelo Cantina which has a large dining and networking space. There is a lot of space to move around, making this a very social and fun seating section. Guests often are moving around to chat with one another, the space flows very nicely. The seating is higher up, like a row 9 on the 200 level but the view is still good.

Brandon Schneider | Warriors President & Chief Operating Officer

The 2024-25 NBA season will mark Brandon Schneider’s 23rd season with the Warriors organization, and his fourth as the team’s president and chief operating officer. In this role, Schneider reports to Co-Executive Chairman & CEO Joe Lacob and Co-Executive Chairman Peter Guber, and oversees all business-related operations for the Warriors, including Chase Center and Thrive City, a privately financed sports and entertainment district in San Francisco’s Mission Bay neighborhood that opened in September 2019. Schneider was promoted to his current role in April of 2021, following three years as the chief revenue officer.

In his tenure as president and chief operating officer, Golden State has elevated both the organizationand the sports business industry to new heights. Valued at over $9 billion – the second most valuable professional sports team in the world – the Warriors have continued to lead the NBA in all major revenue metrics, including ticket sales, partnerships, viewership ratings and merchandise. The Valkyries, in their inaugural season, are ranked as the most valuable WNBA team at $500 million and have continued to set revenue records across the league in ticket sales, partnerships and merchandise. In Santa Cruz, the organization’s NBA G League affiliate has been recognized as Franchise of the Year, the league’s most prestigious award, four times (2017-18, 2020-21, 2021-22, 2023-24). In 2022, Golden State launched an original content arm, Golden State Entertainment, a first-of-its-kind for a professional sports franchise. Since opening in 2019, Chase Center has welcomed over five million fans at more than 450 events across sports, music, comedy, theater, family entertainment, and more, generating an estimated $4.2 billion for the San Francisco economy. Thrive City, the 11-acre district surrounding Chase Center, features over a dozen unique restaurant, bar and retail options as well as free programming year-round for the community.

In his three years as chief revenue officer, Schneider was responsible for strategic planning and execution related to all the organization’s sales and activation efforts at Chase Center including tickets, suites, and corporate partnerships. He oversaw the team’s digital and marketing teams as well as philanthropic efforts led by the community relations group and the Warriors Community Foundation of which he sits on the board. He managed the team’s retail business both online and at Chase Center and worked to create the best overall fan experience at Chase Center. Schneider also oversaw the Warriors’ NBA G League team, the Santa Cruz Warriors. Prior to assuming chief revenue officer, Schneider served four seasons as senior vice president, business development; two seasons as group vice president, ticket sales and services; and three seasons as vice president, ticket sales and services. Schneider originally joined the Warriors in the summer of 2002 as a season ticket account executive before being promoted to ticket sales manager in June of 2004 and assistant director of ticket sales the following April.

During his tenure, the organization has been recognized with several prestigious awards, including the Warriors being named “Franchise of the Decade” among all professional sports teams by Sports Business Journal in 2019. Additionally, the Warriors became the first professional team to win Sports Business Journal’s “Sports Team of the Year” award on multiple occasions (2014 and 2016). Schneider was named to Sports Business Journal’s Power Players list in 2018 after being named to the publication’s Forty Under 40 list in 2017. These honors followed Schneider’s inclusion on Forty Under 40 lists by Diablo Magazine in 2015 and the San Francisco Business Times in 2016. Schneider was heavily involved with the completion of Chase Center in September 2019, which was named Sports
Facility of the Year by Sports Business Journal in 2020 and has received numerous distinctions and industry awards since.

A Bay Area native, Schneider graduated from UCLA in 2001 with a degree in business economics and an accounting minor. He currently serves as vice president of the board for the Golden State Community Foundation and is on the board of the Bay Area Host Committee. Additionally, Schneider is part of the executive committee of the Bay Area Council and is a founding member of the Partnership for San Francisco.
