My daughter told me last second that I was taking her to a Forrest Frank concert. I think she was actually going to pay, until her car broke down... Then she said your treat dad, lol. The things we do for our kids. We got the very last row of discounted seats and they were actually not bad. I like the fact no one was behind me. See pictures. Concerts especially with a pit = Approximately 19k people. Basketball games = 17,608 people Ambiance - A crazy busy venue. Well, it was sold out. Concerts especially with a pit = Approximately 19k people which still does NOT feel fire safe. Basketball games = 17,608 people. Almost 780k sq ft. Sacramento Kings home court. Parking = $20-100 for events. Plenty of street metered parking for $25, only 2 blocks away. If you preorder your parking, you can get it for $22. Decent amounts of food and drink options. Service - Security was smooth. Long lines but quick. Ushers were friendly. The men's room had an attendant, so clean. But mostly everything is self service. Glad someone opened the emergency exits, because thousands of people waiting to go down an escalator would have taken us over an hour! Price - Depending on your seats. My daughter waited until the last second and got discounted seats + parking, dinner, gas, toll, etc. totalled $200 for our father daughter date. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 2016. Even after 10 years of success, your arena still looks new.

Went 2x recently, for the Sacramento Kings Draft Party, and day 1 of the Summer League…read more Located downtown Sacramento, there are plenty of options for parking, most are parking garages within short walking distance, or there is some metered parking that may require a little longer and more adventurous walk to stadium. There is a strict bag policy so be sure to read up on it if you are taking in an event so as not to delay your entry. Going through security is easy enough, voth security. And the ticket scanner/door workers are always pleasant and efficient in processing you into the arena. Both the draft party, and summer league were informal, so most tickets were general admission and your were free to sit almost anywhere(barring the first 3 or 4 rows). (The draft party initially only had 5-7 sections open , but as the crowd grew closer to draft, more sections were opened . There were a few basic concessions open, for water, beer, hot dogs, chicken fingers, pizza, and a few of the other stands. Not all concessions that are normally open for concerts or regular season games were open, but was able to get chicken strips that were pretty good in quantity, and quality with fries and a beer. All in all, was a fun time, and a nice arena.

Parking can get a little pricey, so I suggest carpooling or getting dropped off by a loved one. The food can get pretty expensive too, especially if you're with a large group. If you're willing to spend the extra couple dollars to dine in the park, there is a variety of yummy foods and drinks. My go-to order are the chicken tenders and Modelo Michelada. If you're feeling like something sweet, you can never go wrong with Dippin' Dots!

Extra-OK. Could've been better is a more accurate description…read more Exciting that the home team won but the venue will be happy when everyone has relocated. It feels like a Band-Aid...probably because it is and has been for over a decade. The brand new venue, whenever it shows up https://www.republicstadium.com will hopefully be a good one. Sure, if you can't survive a couple hours without alcohol, you can splurge and sink some earnings in to a beverage and even scarf down some food for a premium. Passed on all that this time. This felt permanently temporary and with good reason- it is. It was exciting to stomp on the metal bleachers when that happened. It also felt like a high school rally where the kiddos would stomp and pout and make as much noise as they could. Found myself applauding because that seemed appropriate at the time but could not understand what seemed like trying to play an instrument with your feet on the metal bleacher. Parking seemed convenient enough. $15 for the evening with a back exit to split when the time came. It will cost more at the new place because this is left over space from a pretty much fallen California Exposition Center. They'll have to pave new lots. Yay. Bathrooms were porta-potties. Most of them were anyways. Yet another permanently temporary band-aid. Let's hope they don't take them out to the new stadium. Food venues looked like leftovers from the fair. Not about that. The "premium" spots gated and guarded by folks who want more money to sit down will hopefully get some real upgrades as opposed to the fancy net protecting them at this place. Had some dudes sing the National Anthem (ooh, anthem time baby!) and a brief half time display. Thanks Rachel, for the scarf. It seemed warm and the stadium was half in the sun upon arrival so shorts and a t-shirt were too much. Sun went down and it got a little chilly so the scarf-ish thing was welcome. "Bonney Field is not meant to be a permanent structure." This is the same place but with new name tags. The quote is from over 11 years ago. Out with the old, in with the new. Not entirely disappointed in going to this old setup (will most likely be the first and last time going here) and not bothered in the least that it's going away.

Surrounding stadium area: Located at Heart Health Park in Cal Expo, the Sac Republic facility is a really nice spot. Outside of the field was almost a dozen food (pizza, Greek, Tacos, German, frozen treats, etc.) & drink trucks (beers, Margaritas, Agua Frescas, etc.) options. Stadium area: VIP seating to the South, Home field side to the West, Away side to the East, and the tall bleachers to the North. SRFC also has a really nice field. Overall: Good area, good assorted food & drinks options, good stadium.

The Sacramento Kings hosted another movie night for Season Ticket Members at the Golden 1 Center…read more The movie, Cars, was so cute. We were treated to popcorn, sweet treat bags, mini corn dogs and cold bottled drinks. The popcorn containers were made special for movie night, and a keeper, made of hard plastic. There was three chances to win prizes as well, and a photo op balloon display. Everything looked festive with the Cars theme, and the staff were great. Our season ticket specialists and reps made sure the event was fun for us, and a perfect movie night. Parking validations were provided in the DOCO lot nearby, and covered the entire $18 charge. Movie night is another benefit provided to Season Ticket Members.

If we continue to play good defense and use our players with changing up the lineup, and making our shots playing offensively and attacking the basket then we will make it far. We just need to stay consistent and keep on growing while staying humble then we have momentum for years to come. The Sacramento Kings franchise also has a wonderful culture in Sacramento with appreciation for their fan-base and also providing perks and fun prizes through the season. I hope coach brown, the coaching staff and players continue on a positive trajectory while having fun smiling and having effective teamwork bc we know there is no "I" in team! I'm grateful and proud to be a Sacramento Kings fan! Let's go Kings!!

So growing up in the Bay Area in the 80s and 90s, I never knew about the California State Fair in…read moreSacramento. There was no social media,barely any internet, so unless someone you knew went there was no means to ever knowing about it. Not sure how I heard about it but I remember when I was 20, someone mentioned it to me so I came up here on a Saturday and my mind was totally blown. It was so much fun-I've been coming back darn near every year ever since. The State Fair has been located at Cal Expo grounds for as long as I can remember. There are plenty of parking areas available, though on weekends it still can get kind of crazy. Admission is generally around $15 and parking is about the same. Though there are special days when the admission fee and the parking are drastically lower. Also there are many merchants that sell State Fair packs which offer discounts for admission, parking and food. Let's talk about my visits this year. This year, I was drawn to the State Fair for multiple reasons but I'd say the biggest reason was the musical acts. This year I was able to catch Ja Rule and Boys To Men on different nights at the fair. Seeing these musical acts comes with the price of admission, though they do sell seats really close to the stage for an additional cost. Now coming in at a close second as far as the reason I love the fair so much, the food. There is nothing quite like the food at the fair-it's so awesome. Though not cheap and some would call it overpriced-I like to think of it as more unique and is priced as such. My favorites year to year tend to be the cinnamon rolls and the various BBQ offerings. Something I look forward to every year at the fair are the county exhibits and the various vendors selling their wares at the State Fair. I'm always coming home with something I didn't plan on buying. This year the State Fair really expanded their cannabis exhibit as it's taken over major parts of the old water park area. It's a wild scene over in Cannabis-Land. Overall these are some of the reasons I fell in love with the California State Fair when I was 20 years old and why I continue to love it just as much today 30 years later.

I love a good summer fair! I enjoy the California State Fair. It's huge! It has a lot to offer. I'm…read morenot from Sacramento, so my boyfriend and I like to go right when it opens to make our moneys worth and to beat the heat as much as we can. We went to the fair during the last weekend and met up with a couple friends. I did some research beforehand, to see what the best foods were just because I didn't want to waste money and be disappointed on food items. I'm glad I did that because most of the food items I got from the recommendations I saw online, I enjoyed. We got hot dog on a stick (classic), pickle lemonade, chicken kebab, cinnamon roll, lobster fries... now I'm going to say hot dog on a stick was the best. Maybe I'm biased, lol. But, I do have to say, I didn't eat anything that made me say I would love to get it again next year. I knocked down one star because it is expensive. Be prepared to spend lots of money! Admission price is I believe $15 per person? I can't remember. Parking was $15. Each food/drink item ranges from maybe $10-$30. If you want to ride any rides and play any games, that is additional money as well. There are also vendors inside selling stuff. So, just make sure you come prepared to spend a lot but I feel like that is expected when you go to the fair. However, my friends and I made the most of it! So, we had a great time. There are lots of indoor exhibits as well that has AC, so you can take a break from the extreme heat. If you haven't checked out the state fair, I would recommend to check it out at least once. If it isn't for you, then at least you tried!
