Lake Chalet Seafood Bar & Grill (1520 Lakeside Dr.) and ESPN are looking for Warriors fans who want to be part of the network’s coverage of the NBA Finals.
After each Warriors home game, the cable sports network is broadcasting its show First Take, followed by podcast The Jump, from the lakeside restaurant. Producers will admit 80 fans to each program who appear on a first-come, first-served basis.
First Take shoots from 7–9 am and The Jump records from noon to 1pm. Admission is free; guests will receive wristbands an hour before each broadcast begins which will be good for one of the daily programs.

Hopeful guests should plan to arrive early, as long lines are expected. According to organizers, guests will have the opportunity to win some free giveaways, like Terrible Towels and T-shirts.
Television crews are using the restaurant's Gondola Room for the shoot. They'll be back on Sunday, June 4, and if needed, on Monday June 12 and Sunday, June 18.
“I would tell folks to get here early,” said Matthew Hepworth, a Lake Chalet service manager. “Today was the first show, but last night, people lined up at 6pm just waiting for the show in the morning.”
