More Than An Arena
More Than An Arena
Ten years ago, Sacramento made a bold investment in its future.
Civic leaders, business partners, community advocates, and passionate fans united around a shared commitment to keep the Sacramento Kings where they belong and create something transformative for the region.
Kings Chairman Vivek Ranadivé envisioned more than a state-of-the-art arena. He promised an iconic world-class gathering place that would reflect Sacramento’s spirit, lead in sustainability and innovation, and deliver an unparalleled experience for every guest.
This is more than the story of an arena. It is the story of a city, a community, and a vision brought to life.
