ARCO Arena : Home of Sacramento Kings NBA Team

ARCO Arena is an indoor arena situated in Sacramento, California, United states. This was completed in 1988 at a cost of $40 million, financed privately.

It is home to the NBA’s Sacramento Kings and the WNBA’s Sacramento Monarchs. The arena can seat 17317 for basketball and has 30 luxury suites and 412 club seats. The arena has a oud character and continual at-capacity crowds, which combined with wooden floors, make it a tough environment for visiting teams. The Kings sold only 3 home games in the 2007-08 season and averaged 13500 per game.

The arena is located in a once isolated area on the expanding northern outskirts of the city. It is the smallest arena in the NBA by size and third smallest by seating capacity. Only Key Arena in Seattle and Orlando’s Amway Arena have smaller seating capacities. The Kings played their home games for three seasons (1985 to 1988) after moving from Kansas City by the same name, ARCO Arena. It had a capacity of 10333 seats.

The namesake sponsor of the arena, energy company ARCO, has had corporate sponsorship since the arena’s inception as well as the original ARCO Arena.

Some of the notable events that have been hosted at the ARCO Arena include the following:

NCAA Tournamnet – 1994, 1998, 2002 and 2007.
NHL exhibition and neutral site games, 1993, 1994.
Ultimate Fighting Championship's UFC 65 on November 18, 2006.
World Wrestling Entertainment events, including two pay-per-views (Royal Rumble 1993 and Judgment Day 2001).
1995 Billy Graham crusade which brought the fourth largest crowds in arena history.
2007 NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball final four. The event drew over 26,000 fans and the championship match drew 13,631 fans, the second highest attendance since 1981. See: NCAA Women's Volleyball Championship
Game 4 of the 2005 WNBA Finals, in which the Sacramento Monarchs defeated the Connecticut Sun 62-59 to capture their first WNBA Championship.
