Arco Arena

Encyclopedia : A : AR : ARC : Arco Arena

The ARCO Arena is an indoor arena located in Sacramento, California at [38°38′56.6″N, 121°31′4.62″W]. Completed in 1988, at a cost of $40 million — entirely privately financed — it is home to the Sacramento Kings of the NBA and the WNBA's Sacramento Monarchs. The arena seats 17,317 for basketball, and has 30 luxury suites and 412 club seats. The arena has been noted for its loud character and continual at-capacity crowds, which, combined with wood floors, make it a tough environment for visiting teams. The arena has also hosted the NCAA Tournament three times as a first and second rounds venue in 1994, 1998, and 2002. In 1993 and 1994, the arena also hosted several NHL neutral site games. It was the site of WWF Royal Rumble 1993 and WWF Judgment Day 2001 as well.

Many Sacramento Kings fans have expressed discontent and become unhappy with the arena, which is severely outdated in the modern era of NBA arenas in terms of number of luxury suites, amenities, concession stands, and entertainment options. The architecure is also notably plain and uninspired. It is located in a once isolated area on the expanding northern outskirts of the city.
