 Power
Balance Pavilion
Sacramento, CA
Known as one of
the loudest venues in the NBA, Power Balance Pavilion has been the home to the
Sacramento Kings for more than 15 years. The Kings have one of the
longest history’s in the NBA dating back to the 1940s when they played
in Rochester, NY and were known as the Royals. Over
the next 50 years the team relocated to Cincinnati,
Kansas City and finally Sacramento in 1985. When the Kings moved from
Kansas City to Sacramento they played their first three seasons at the
old Power Balance Pavilion. Also known as the Sacramento Sports Arena, it was
constructed temporarily for the Kings in 1985. With a seating capacity
of 13,000 it was not large enough to remain the permanent home of a NBA
franchise.

  A
new basketball arena was constructed in the northern part of the city for
the Kings. The team moved into the new Power Balance Pavilion for the 1988-89 season.
Power Balance Pavilion has a seating capacity of just over 17,000 with 412 club seats
and 30 luxury seats. The home of the Kings features the Skyline Restaurant,
an upscale eatery for fans. Since the beginning of this decade, the
Kings have been one of the best teams in the NBA, making it to the playoffs
nearly every year.
However, due to the fact the arena lacks many modern amenities and the team
has struggled to maintain its season ticket holders the franchise has sought
to have a new arena built. Due to the struggling economy in California the
Kings have been unable to secure funding for a new arena in Sacramento. It
appears the Kings may move to Anaheim for the 2012-13 season. In March 2011,
Arco Arena was renamed Power Balance Pavilion after Power Balance LLC
purchased the naming rights for five years, |
