WARRIORS CHAMPIONSHIP PARADE

The Warriors announced their 2022 championship parade will be held Monday in San Francisco. The parade will start at 11:20 a.m. and proceed from Market Street and Main Street to Market Street and 8th Street, an extension of two blocks beyond what was originally planned. The parade will be the first for a professional team in the city since the San Francisco Giants won their third World Series in five seasons in 2014.

NBC Sports Bay Area will air live coverage of the parade and pre-parade festivities from 9:30 a.m.-2 p.m. No post-parade rally is planned. The Warriors held parades in Oakland following their 2015, 2017 and 2018 titles, but the parade, like the team, has moved to San Francisco.

BART said it will have a dozen extra trains available to handle crowds. The agency noted that for many people riding trains to the parade it will be their first BART trip since the pandemic began, so it provided this list of tips for anyone planning to use BART Monday:

• Masks are required in all BART stations and on all trains.

• With no post-parade rally there isn't a need to crowd into Civic Center Station.

• Embarcadero, Montgomery Street, Powell Street, and Civic Center stations can all be used to get to the parade route.

• The parade ends between the Powell and Civic Center stations. Riders who arrive at Civic Center should exit at the east end of the station toward 7th Street.

• Red (Richmond-Millbrae) and Yellow (Antioch-SFO) Line trains coming from the East Bay going into downtown San Francisco will not stop at Montgomery Street Station before the parade. Those riders should instead get off at Embarcadero, Powell Street, or Civic Center stations.

• Riders at Embarcadero Station are discouraged from using the entrance at Market and Main streets as it opens to a private parade staging area.

• Before you leave home, put a Clipper card on your cellphone through either Apple Pay or Google Pay. Clipper is waiving the $3 new-card fee for riders who add either of the mobile options.

• Download the official BART app to plan your trip, get real-time departures, and pay for parking.

• Be patient, it could get crowded on trains and in stations. BART's busiest hours are expected to be 9a.m. until the parade start and from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. leaving the parade.

• When planning your trip to BART consider taking the bus, walking, or getting dropped off. Though BART has had plenty of available parking during the pandemic, some stations could fill on parade day.

• When boarding trains, move to the center of the car so more can fit, remove backpacks.

• Don't jam a train door — it will take the whole train out of service and everyone will boo you.
