The Golden 1 Center, located in downtown Sacramento, California, stands as a premier sports and entertainment venue. Construction of this state-of-the-art arena began on October 29, 2014, and was completed in September 2016, at a cost of approximately $557 million. It replaced the aging Sleep Train Arena as the home of the NBA’s Sacramento Kings. The Golden 1 Center boasts a capacity of around 17,600 for basketball games and up to 19,000 for concerts and other events.
Situated at 500 David J Stern Walk, the arena serves as a focal point for the city’s entertainment scene. Its ownership primarily lies with the Sacramento Basketball Holdings, LLC, an entity led by Vivek Ranadivé, who is the majority owner of the Sacramento Kings. Beyond basketball, the Golden 1 Center hosts a variety of concerts, shows, and cultural events, contributing significantly to the vibrancy of Sacramento’s downtown area.
