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, as the city's MLB team was already 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.

by Naychergirl on 2/29/24Golden 1 Center - SacramentoGreat 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

by Alicia A on 2/12/24Golden 1 Center - SacramentoWe 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.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Loved the atmosphere at G1!
by Tim on 1/26/24Golden 1 Center - SacramentoWe 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!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Wonderful Experience!!
by JayG on 1/26/24Golden 1 Center - SacramentoThe 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.
Rating: 3 out of 5 Too loud
by Fan of the game on 1/25/24Golden 1 Center - SacramentoThe 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

Rating: 1 out of 5 Worst performance from the players
by Jb on 1/10/24Golden 1 Center - SacramentoWhen 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.

by mbhatia on 1/9/24Golden 1 Center - SacramentoBeen 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.
