need wrestling back

by ministrychick77

the way the arena's set up for wrestling is pretty decent. there's no room for the smackdown stage, though. rey doesn't have his pop-up stage. other than that, it's really nice! good views throughout the arena, unless you're sitting behind someone with a really big sign. set up for raw is better than for smackdown.

• Pros: feel the pyro, good views
• Cons: wait to get out

A state-of-the-art sports venue doubling as a prime concert hall in north Sacramento.

by Contributor

Overview
The 17,300-seat home to pro basketball teams the Kings (NBA) and the Monarchs (WNBA) doubles as a major music venue; Garth Brooks, the Rolling Stones, Metallica and KISS have graced the stage. The cavernous space is acoustically sound, and the seating offers unobstructed views. Thirty first-class luxury suites on the concourse level of the arena feature brass-and-oak furnishings, excellent video and sound systems, VCRs and wet bars.

The Experience
For sports fans, there's a team store stocked with paraphernalia, the Coors Light Party Place (a nightclub open game nights, complete with a full bar, DJ and dancing) and the Skyline Lounge (a buffet-style restaurant).

Prep for the basketball season by getting acquainted with our NBA arena, ARCO.

The Arena
Arco Arena is one of Sacramento's largest concert venues, with a capacity of 17,300. It's hosted some of the biggest names in music, including Garth Brooks, the Rolling Stones, Metallica and KISS. Despite its size, the venue is capable of reasonably good sound and there really isn't a bad seat in the house.

For the Fans
Kings fans have a lot to choose from at the Arco: the Kings' team store, stocked with paraphernalia; the Coors Light Party Place, a nightclub open only during Kings' home games, complete with a full-service wet bar and DJ dancing; and the Skyline Lounge, a buffet-style restaurant, also open only for home games.

The Style
Arco offers first-class luxury suites, including brass and oak furnishings, excellent video and sound systems, a VCR and wet bar.

This is the most exciting place to be in Sacramento (even if you're not a basketball fan). There's really not a bad seat in the house during basketball season. Make sure to get tickets early.

• Pros: fantastic team, fantastic fans, contagious hysteria
• Cons: freeway access
