About Golden 1 Center
In downtown Sacramento, California, United States, Golden 1 Center is a publicly owned indoor arena. Part of it stands on the former Downtown Plaza shopping center's site. It belongs to Downtown Commons (DoCo), a business and entertainment district with a 16-story mixed-use tower that cost $250 million. The arena took over from ARCO Arena as home to the Sacramento Kings, a National Basketball Association team, and also stages concerts, conventions and a range of other sports and entertainment events. For concerts the capacity can be expanded to about 19,000.
Construction began on October 29, 2014, with Turner Construction as construction manager. The Kings named the street that approaches the main entrance in honor of David Stern, a former NBA Commissioner; the official address is 500 David J. Stern Walk. Golden 1 Credit Union, based in Sacramento, acquired the naming rights on June 16, 2015 for $120 million over 20 years. Paul McCartney played the first concert there on October 4, 2016, the start of two nights on his One on One tour. The Kings played their first game there on October 10, 2016, a 135–96 preseason win over Maccabi Haifa B.C.
The design draws on regionally sourced materials, from glass to recycled aluminum to possibly precast concrete made with sand from San Benito and Sierra limestone, and uses only FSC-certified wood. A rooftop solar array generates up to 1.2 megawatts, and LEED Platinum certification followed in late September 2016. Artworks by Gale Hart, Phil America and other local artists, and by the internationally recognized artist Jeff Koons, were permanently installed.
