Bag storage at the verified venues

Oracle Park: On-site bag storage is available for rent at the Marina Gate behind center field. It is open from when the gates open until one hour after the game or event ends.

Chase Center: Oversized or prohibited bags can go to the Bike Valet on Terry A Francois Blvd or to the Chase Center Bag Check near the East Entrance, at the corner of Terry A Francois Blvd and 16th Street. Each asks for a 10 dollar donation, which is subject to change. Helmets can be checked free at the Bike Valet.

Levi's Stadium: Mobile Locker Co. runs a bag check for 20 dollars per bag, at RV Lot West and on Tasman Drive near Gate F.

SAP Center: SAP Center no longer offers a bag check or onsite storage lockers. Strollers and baby carriers can be checked free for the event, and prohibited items can be thrown away or returned to your vehicle.

Alcatraz Island: There are no luggage storage facilities at Pier 33, so make arrangements for large bags before you arrive.

California's Great America: Lockers rent in different areas of the main park and in South Bay Shores.
