    03.29.23 Kings Clinched Playoffs!
    May A.

    Kings reminisce... then and now I have been enjoying home games since we moved to Roseville in 2001. I was never a basketball fan in the Bay Area but when we moved to Placer County I became one. It all started when my first job in Roseville provided free tickets to a game... I can't remember who we played back then but we sat just a few rows behind court side at the ARCO Arena. It was exciting to watch the set of Kings players back then -- C-Webb, Divac, Bibby, Peja, Doug Christie, and B-Jax. I think they had just traded J-Will for Mike Bibby then so I never got to watch "White Chocolate"play for the Kings. I remember it was raining hard that evening, I was on my 2nd trimester of pregnancy with my youngest and I went to my very first Kings game. The second time I attended a Kings game was when we were invited to box seats. By this time I've already had my youngest child, bundled her up in purple, took her to the game at 5-months old and we enjoyed the Suite life for an evening. The rivalry back then were with Lakers. BEAT L.A.! LoL While the former owners, the Maloofs, were ready to let go of the Kings to Seattle, Sacramento is thankful that new owner, Vivek Ranadivé, saved the Kings from leaving. Whew! Finally, it was over. Ranadive and his group of investors successfully purchased the Kings from the Maloofs on May 29, 2013. I'm not a season ticket holder, no, I can't afford it LoL!but we do attend games when we find a good deal w/ friends or when we get invited once a year to our friend's box suite. Thank you, Penney & Associates. The last time the Kings were in the playoffs was in May 2006... geez, rookie Keegan (M-U-R-R-A-Y!!!) was only 5 years old and Apple hadn't even released the iPhone yet so my photos back then were not digital and taken from a Canon Sure Shot camera (LoL! remember those?). On 3/29/23 the Kings clinched the playoffs. If the playoffs were held today Kings will end up playing the Warriors... and all four California teams in the Pacific Division are currently in the top 8. It's about time to get excited again! Go KINGS! Light the Beam!! Review #0473 updated

    My third time is Sacramento, but first time at a Kings game. I honestly had a blast here! We paid for nosebleed seats, but most of the time we just walked around and hung out at the bars/viewing areas in the arena. Even though we were up in the rafters, the view was still pretty good. We ended up spending a majority of our time in the beer garden area, with a great view of the basketball action. I don't recall what this place was named, but I believe it's named after a local Sac brewery. Even if you're not a fan of basketball just get the cheap seats and just hang with friends! Plus the surrounding downtown area is pretty sweet, shout out to the Chambers Room! Btw, the Kings won!

    Went to Game 2 Kings beat the Warriors again. Kings are back. This place was magic. The crowd was magic. The sound and special effects magic. Scoreboard magic. The Kings were magic. Green stomps Sabonis so he is suspended for Game 3. Kings in 5!!! Light the Beam!!!

    I'm a Sacramento native and I've always my home team. From Valde and Weber to the newer guys... this is a team you have to love. It's a great game for kids and the team does so much for the community!

    My husband and I went to a game here on 4/2/23. We sat in section 1 row 2 seats 1&2. My husband is a huge kings fan and when given these court-side tickets we got a baby sitter and went on a date! The perks of these seats is an onsite parking garage with direct access to the arena. It's fully enclosed, safe and monitored by security. A lot of high end cars cause the players park there! We had access to the Lexus lounge. Food, alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks included. There was also a candy bar. The bathrooms in the Lexus lounge had fully enclosed stalls for ultimate comfort. Haha! Dessert was offered at half time. There's an area in the Lexus lounge that opens up to the hallway where the players make their way to the basketball court. It's an opportunity to get autographs and photos. I'm not a huge fan of basketball but given the opportunity to sit in the second row made it really exciting and memorable to be that close to the action. We also were able to order drinks from our seat and have them delivered. The kings lost but it was a fun game and experience. My husband always enjoys watching kings games and he's grateful we were able to go to a game during their season of success. Just for fun we looked up tickets for Fridays game against the warriors-- the seats behind us are 20k a piece. Omggg that's insane. My jaw is still on the floor Anyways, great experience would love the opportunity again

    The Sacramento Kings should have been the NBA champions in 2002, but poor officiating caused them to lose their Western Conference Finals best-of-seven series against the Lakers, 3-4. The officiating was so bad that American activist and former US Presidential candidate Ralph Nader sent a letter to then-NBA-Commissioner David Stern about it (https://www.leagueoffans.org/sternletter.html). In 2008, former NBA ref and convicted felon Tim Donaghy's attorney filed a court document that alleged Game 6 of the series was fixed by two refs. As NBA fans (I'm neither a Kings nor Lakers fan, but a Spurs and Hawks fan), my friends and I, who watched several of the Kings-Lakers games together live, were livid at the officials and how biased the calls were for the Lakers. In my mind, the true champions of the NBA in 2002 were the Kings. That team dominated in the regular season with a league-best 61-21 regular season record. From 1 through 5, the starters were Mike Bibby, Doug Christie, Peja Stojakovic, Chris Webber, and Vlade Divac with key bench contributions from Hedo Turkoglu and Bobby Jackson, and to a lesser extent, Scot Pollard. It was a fun and exciting team to watch with Bibby and C-Webb carrying the load on offense, Peja knocking down threes, Christie being known for his lock-down defense, Divac being the veteran glue at center, and Bobby Jackson providing that 6th man spark. Out of those players, my favorite was Mike Bibby because of how he ran the team and how clutch he was in the playoffs. I made an AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) screen name in his honor: mikebibbyCLUTCH. I actually got to meet Mike and played video games with him when he was in Atlanta. After Sacramento, he played for the Hawks from 2007 to 2011. The head coach of the 2002 team was Rick Adelman who was the franchise's best coach in modern times (at least since the team name was changed from Royals to Kings in 1972). In his eight seasons as coach (1998-2006), Adelman's Kings teams never missed the playoffs. They were a fixture in a stacked Western Conference. Since Adelman left in 2006, the Kings haven't been the same. The team is currently on its 10th different head coach (Luke Walton) since Adelman left. That's 10 different coaches in 14 seasons. Over the last 20 years, none of the Kings' draft picks have really panned out in the team's favor. There was Tyreke Evans (4th overall pick in 2009) and DeMarcus Cousins (5th overall pick in 2010), but that era came and went with no playoff appearance. Both went on to have decent NBA careers, but are no longer with the team. These days, it's De'Aaron Fox (5th overall pick in 2017) and Marvin Bagley III (2nd overall pick in 2018) that form part of the team's young and talented core. In 2019, Kevin Arnovitz wrote an interesting piece for ESPN that revealed how former Kings executive Jeff David stole $13.4 million in sponsorship payments from the team: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/28078881/how-nba-executive-jeff-david-stole-13-million-sacramento-kings. David was sentenced to seven years in federal prison. As a Spurs fan, I understand how tough it can be for smaller market teams to compete against bigger market teams. The Kings play in a bigger market than the Spurs, but Sacramento still ranks in the bottom third of all NBA markets while three other franchises in the same state (Lakers, Clippers, and Warriors) play in markets that rank in the top third. LA is the second-biggest market in the league and the Bay Area flirts with top 10 status. That leaves Sacramento as the odd team out, but they've proven they can contend. Hopefully, Kings fans won't have to wait much longer to return to the playoffs.

    The games are great.  The officiating isn't. 
  Small market teams don't catch a break.  From this aspect the NBA is a rigged game

    We love Kings games - NBA officiating not so much. If you're a small market team, expect more questionable calls than if you're a big market team. From this standpoint, the NBA to me seems more rigged than other major league sports. We think the brand suffers b/c of this. Check this uncalled foul near the buzzer. Really?? So bad.

    Ask the Community - Sacramento Kings

    How do I watch all the kings basketball games on TV?

    All the Kings games are on channel 698-1 CSN Bay Area on Direct TV.

    If I had tickets to game March 22, 2018 but because protestors they not letting people into the game, did I lose the cost of the ticket price? That when they protesting some police shooting, many fans cannot get in, do we lose the cost?

    There's a chance to recoup the loss from what I heard from the news because it was an unusual unforeseen event.

    How's the new arena? Better than Arco?

    YES!!!!! Much nicer!!

    A River Cats game is always a fun time, win or lose because of the food, promos and vibes…read more I've been to games since they first became a team and love Sutter Health Ballpark's classic look and pretty views over the outfield. They've had a lot of great promos this season, and I love that they have new, creative food options every season like the burger combo that's served in a Tower Bridge box (I still need to try this!). It's fun to see up-and-coming ballplayers grow their talent and occasionally a Giant will rehab with the team (the River Cats are the Triple-A team of the San Francisco Giants), which is always fun to see. Parking is only $15 and it's easy to get a spot in the lot close to the ballpark if you arrive early. Pro tip: look up their bag policy before you go to make your trip as smooth as possible! I think small purses and clear bags are okay off the top of my head. I always bring my tiny black purse with no issues. There are different promo days depending on the day of the week that offer discounts on ice cream, hot dogs, and drinks. My friend and I caught happy hour last month and appreciated the $3 discount on our beers and waters before first pitch. I'm looking forward to my next game. Thanks!

    Another great night at the Sacramento River Cats Legacy club for tonight's game…read more Not much of a crowd in the stands tonight for a great night of baseball, but there was quite a bit in the legacy club enjoying tonight's menu. Besides the salad bar, the menu included barbecue chicken, smoked tri-tip, scallop potatoes, baked beans, broccolini,and rolls. Those shorthanded, Garry and Kevin did an outstanding job with the buffet. I love that they always keep it refilled and the counters and tables clean. It doesn't matter how busy it gets. They are always on their jobs and are so appreciated. The Rivercats had a special treat for us in the legacy. We were able to go down for Merlino's, and it was so good. Tonight we also picked up our Member gifts, which was a pennant, a pin, and a baseball. Another great thing is that the Rivercats won the game!

    Well, there's a first time for everything! And as it turned out , this was a pretty fun experience…read morefor us. We got some pretty sweet tickets for the event at Sleep train Arena on Feb 5th. When we arrived at Sleep Train, I had to deftly maneuver around the huge Ford F350 and Ram 3500 trucks in the parking lot. I found a space up in front and parked my hybrid right between two F150 trucks that were lifted. Got into the arena, and was surprised to see that the arena was completely packed with cowboys, and I mean real cowboys. Not the fake variety you see waking around midtown, but the real deal. We got settled, and the start time was delayed, as the security area was backed up. So they pushed back the start about 15 min. Then the light went down, and then announcer started the countdown to the main event. The brought out all of the participants and then we got ready for the action. One by one, they released the riders on the bulls. Some got thrown off immediately, some made it the whole 8 seconds, and a few got injured by the bull and had to be helped off. For the one's that made it the full 8 seconds, they got scored and the highest score was declared the winner of the event. I have absolutely no idea how they scored them. Maybe it was style points. We were in the suite, so not really close to the action, but the food and drink made up for that inconvenience. I'm sure seats right behind the fence would have been great. There also was an auction to the highest bidder who could go in the arena area in a small pen in the center and watch the action. All in all, a new , fun experience, and we had a great time.

    Too much talk. Not enough rides. Not tuned in to listen to hear what comes from anoucers.read more

The game had just started when we arrived. It was a playoff game, so it was packed. We got tickets at the gate for $15 each for left field, the only option available. There isn't a great way to get around the stadium. We walked in front of everyone in the stands and happened to run into Rawhide, their mascot! After a quick selfie, we found ourselves in the grass/dirt to get to our seats. I regretted my flat sandals. We sat in the bleachers out in left field. We could see and hear everything. The game was low scoring but entertaining. The announcer had events between innings for the kids etc and plenty of fun songs and sound effects. Players were hitting foul balls into the stands and parking lot. No one got hurt but I bet some cars were dented. They had chosen the designated beer hitter - a player on the opposite team. When he was up to bat, if he struck out, beers were half off for the rest of the inning! It happened at least twice. Food looked pretty good. They had a local restaurant set up under an easy up, cooking. It was called Jacob's and they have a restaurant one mile south of the stadium (Jacob's Restaurant). We left after the kids raced the players through the field which was about the 7/8th inning. I think the stompers lost as they were trailing for awhile. Bathrooms were in an elevated trailer, clean, air conditioned, separate men/women. I can see why the locals enjoy the games. It was fun. I just wish they had a better sidewalk around the field. And Rawhide's costume needs a good cleaning. Poor guy smells like several summers. Overall great value and a good time.

    Free parking + $3 bleacher seats = cheap family outing. Hot…read moredog, bag of chips and bottled soda = $10 per person, changed the "cheap family outing" scenario. No outside food or drinks are allowed so you're kinda stuck. I don't even know how to rate this place so let's keep the 4 stars going simply because I love baseball. It was a unique experience, a bit hokey for me, and not something we'll likely repeat.
