NBA Basketball Arena Review
- ARCO Arena
 There is something special about ARCO Arena in that it always seems
to sell out no matter how poorly the team is playing. It goes
without saying that the Sacramento Kings have some of the most loyal
fans in the entire NBA. They also have some of the most boisterous,
which means that playing at ARCO gives the Kings a true home court
advantage every time they step on the floor. Upon walking in to the
main bowl of the arena, you will be hit by just how well ARCO Arena
is set up acoustically. It's obvious that the architects were trying
to funnel the crowd noise down to the floor, and any visitor that
has witnessed a Sacramento Kings game will tell you that the setup
works perfectly.
Whether you are coming in on Interstate 5 or
Interstate 80, ARCO Arena is very accessible through both major
highway systems. Its location just off of Commerce Way provides
plenty of space for cars to get in and out of the arena quickly.
ARCO Arena is very nicely set up in the way that it gets you quickly
back on the expressway and headed for home. The cost of parking at
Sacramento Kings game will only cost you $10, and the parking lot is
big enough to fit every visitor's vehicle, so there will be no long
walks from outside the arena's general area to worry about. If you
are looking for public transportation to and from the arena, the
Sacramento Regional Transit District is able to get you to and from
the game as long as you give them a call ahead of time to let them
know that you will need their services.
If you are looking
for a quick bite to eat before you get to your seats, there are
plenty of concession stands within the concourse of ARCO Arena. From
hot dogs to hamburgers, you will be able to find the traditional
concession food that you crave as part of your NBA viewing
experience. Searching for something a little more formal? The
Skyline is located on the fourth floor of the building and provides
buffet-style dining while overlooking the action on the court. You
not only get to savor some of the best food in the Sacramento area,
but you can see the Sacramento Kings playing basketball at the same
time.
Restaurants in the area of ARCO Arena also offer some
very good options if you are looking to grab a bite to eat either
before or after the game. You can start off your night at Chris
Webber's own restaurant, Center Court. You can usually find a
celebrity or two dining on the fine offerings that Center Court
provides. If you are just looking for a quick drink, Center Court is
the place to be as well. It has a full-service bar that has your
favorite libations waiting for you to take advantage of. BJ's
Brewhouse provides excellent pizza and beer for those who are
looking for an old-fashioned start to their night of sports and
entertainment. BJ's is a great place to visit if you seek a
laid-back atmosphere that will allow you to enjoy the rest of your
evening.
Night clubs are aplenty in Sacramento, but there are
a couple that stand out above the rest that you must visit any time
you are in the Sacramento area. The first club is called Avalon, and
it is located in Santa Clara. Depending on the night, you will find
a diverse group of people spending their entire evening on the dance
floor. Popular acts also make their way to Avalon, as Rick
Springfield, Winger, and Boyz II Men are just some of the artists
that have performed inside Avalon. Northern California also has a
brand new nightspot that you will want to check out when you are in
town to watch a Sacramento Kings game. Barcode Nightclub & Lounge
has a great general feel to it, and you will enjoy popular hits
mixed in with sounds of the underground music scene. This is the
perfect place to find yourself socializing with some of the hottest
people in all of California.
The California State Capitol &
Museum is located in Sacramento, and it should be one of the
highlights of your next visit to ARCO Arena. Modeled after the U.S.
Capitol building, the California State Capitol has a museum located
inside that houses historical items from both California's and the
United States' past. Would you enjoy a close up look at the
Sacramento waterfront? Head down to Old Sacramento, which is a
collection of restored and refurbished buildings that were once a
part of the city in the 19th Century. Tours of Old Sacramento are
available, and they have restaurants all along the walkway that
provide excellent food and a great view.
The Sacramento
Kings' roster has undergone some major changes in the past few
years, but they are still one of the most athletic teams in the NBA.
Their exciting brand of basketball will leave you standing on your
feet and high-fiving the people seated around you. ARCO Arena
provides an experience that you will never forget, and the
accommodations and features of the building only add to its allure
and charm.
