Sacramento Kings History
The Sacramento Kings' lineage traces to Rochester, New York, where they played under four names, including the Royals, for 12 years (1945–57). Led by Hall of Famers Bob Davies, Bobby Wanzer and Arnie Risen, the team defeated the New York Knicks to win the NBA championship in 1951, the highlight of a seven-year run in the playoffs.
The Royals moved to Cincinnati for the 1957–58 season and added local college standout Oscar Robertson in 1960. Led by the "Big O," they advanced to the division finals in the 1962–63 and 1963–64 seasons, with the second year featuring contributions from Rookie of the Year Jerry Lucas.
After a five-year run of futility in the late 1960s and early '70s, the team relocated to Kansas City, adopting the name the Kings because the city's MLB team was named the Royals. For three years, the franchise divided its home games between Kansas City and Omaha, Nebraska, and were known as the Kansas City-Omaha Kings. Led by Coach of the Year Phil Johnson, they made the playoffs in 1974–75. In the 10 seasons that followed as the Kansas City Kings, the team made the playoffs four times, most memorably in 1980–81 behind guard Otis Birdsong.
The franchise relocated to Sacramento in 1985, but failed to post a winning record until the lockout-shortened 1998–99 season, when a team led by Chris Webber, Vlade Divac, Vernon Maxwell, Scot Pollard, and Jon Barry went 27-23. It was the first of eight consecutive seasons in the playoffs, highlighted by a trip to the 2002 Conference Finals.
In 2023, under new coach Mike Brown and All-Stars Domantas Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox, the Kings advanced to the playoffs, ultimately losing in the first round to reigning NBA champions the Golden State Warriors in a close seven-game series. Brown was named the 2022–23 season’s Coach of the Year, while Fox collected the league’s first Clutch Player of the Year Award.

First time at Golden 1 Center. My wife and I had a great time. Really liked the arena inside and out. Great food and beer selections. It’s the perfect location everything you need is a few steps away. We plan to return .
I took my son and his friend to the game as a belated birthday present. Every year he watches the Bucks play the Kings. We all had a great time at the Kings game!! As a side note, I don’t remember seeing any rules listed at checkout about not being allowed to carry certain size bags into the arena. The would be helpful. Thank you for a fantastic game and experience!
Amazing! My daughter is a Lebron James fan and she was in an auto accident in 2020 leaving her paralyzed! This is the first time she was able to go guest services was extremely helpful the accommodation were excellent and ALL the staff was kind handicap accessible accommodation! Thank you
The lines to get in were way too long and no organization. It was just a mass of people. Entertainment during half time sucked. I’ve been to previous games and the experience was 100 percent better.
The game was nail biting. The atmosphere was amazing, entertainment was fabulous but the prices of food is way too much. Inclusion of little kids is amazing as we had a 5 year old and he got a certificate and badge along with a little basketball. Overall great game and amazing time.
First time at this location. Love the building and the surrounding area. We will return.
Pretty self explanatory. The beam is a wonder of the world.
Overall it was nice, the bag rule was way over the top, I had a small CLEAR bag and they made us and not only but many more people return it since it was not able to go through
Attended the Kings game and it happened to be 1st responder night. Hats were handed out and the First Responders were honored respectfully. Good job Kings and Golden One Team! Class act!!
Great game. I'm a Miami Heat fan, so I love it we win! However, I'd have given a solid 5 stars, except it was obnoxiously loud. From the bass music to the cow bells and noise makers. I may not go again to see my team
All the experience was great, thank you very much. I'm going to buy tickets for the 22nd ( king's game against the spurs) for sure
We went with three families of four and were able to find great tickets sitting together. There is not a seat in the house that doesn’t have a good view and there is plenty of entertainment throughout the game.
We started chanting Light the Beam! With about 1 minute to go the arena was so Loud I couldn’t believe how much fun I had!
The entrance was easy to get to, and best of all, easy to get through rather quickly and easily. Easy to navigate the arena and the food options were a plenty. Had great seats, they were very comfortable with an excellent view, even with people sitting in front of us. My daughter saw them Light the Beam, and then exit was quick too. What more can you ask for? The entire experience from Golden 1 entrance to exit was great! Just wish Punch Bowl Social held up their end of the bargain, we were super disappointed with them.
The amount of music blasting constantly is too much. We are there for watching the Kings play basketball. The fans nor the players need a bass thumping during the game. It felt like there was a circus going on at Studio 54 and way in the rear a basketball game was trying to happen. I needed Excedrin after the game
Took my two sons and my grandson to the Pelicans vs Kings. The seats were so high, you didn't dare at the floor. Never mind the Kings lost by 28 points...
When the bench got more points than the starters. Hearing the fans booing the team because they just gave up and showed no fight to come back into the game.
Been to a lot of games, this one was kind of bleh. Entertainment was lack luster. Excitement was not there this time. Trying to upgrade tickets are impossible.
The atmosphere was incredible and the staff as friendly as can be!
The location! The city! The fans! The food and services! The parking lot! I love just everything!
