History
The ARCO Arena is an indoor arena located in Sacramento, California. 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 - the continual capacity crowds, combined with wood floors, make it a tough environment for visiting teams. The arena has also hosted the Western Regionals of the NCAA Tournament twice. In 1993 and 1994, the arena also hosted several NHL neutral site games.
Many Sacramento Kings fans have expressed discontent and become unhappy with the stadium, which is severely outdated in the modern era of NBA arenas in terms of number of luxury suites, amenities, concession stands, and entertainment options.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.
"Arco Arena" is also an instrumental song by the Sacramento-spawned alternative rock group Cake from the album Comfort Eagle.
