City Beat: Sacramento arena study moving forward, despite Kings news

Adam Mendelsohn, a spokesman for developer David Taylor, told my Bee colleague Tony Bizjak this weekend that the study may take "a little longer" than the original 90-day timeframe because of the Kings' relocation negotiations. But Taylor and arena giant ICON Venue Group have not stopped their work and the Kings' cloudy future "doesn't dramatically affect our ability to get this done," Mendelsohn told Bizjak.

Well, it's nice to know that we can believe exactly nothing of what we read, hear, or imagine. So much misinformation out there. At this point I would not be surprised to read a new report claiming that plans for the new Power Balance Pavilion on the railyards site have been in place and funded for two years, with groundbreaking tomorrow (first shovelful dug by both Gavin and Joe Maloof) and that yes, we have always been at war with East Asia.

After weeks of nothing but bad news, we finally get some good.

Hey, it's a step in the right direction. Of course, the part about it now taking longer than 90 days isn't good, but that's better than "We've stopped trying."

I've always said that the railyards will need that arena if they want to make it a destination spot. Of course it would be so much nicer if another 45ish nights a year were filled with the NBA. But from a perspective of needing a 1st class facility to draw sports and entertainment, it should be a priority still. With the gap in sporting events about to become grand canyonesque, there will be something that will be begging to come in. It might not be the NBA or NHL, but it will want to be here. And lets not screw it up with a smaller facility like Stockton. It needs to be great enough to draw events like the NCAA tournaments here again. Downtown has a chance to be something special. It's always been the small thinkers that have kept downtown a morgue after 5 pm.

Screw this. Why even read another article about the Arena/Anaheim issue? Either people are changing their minds every day or the reporting is unethically bad. There was a pleasant time, not that long ago, when we actually used to talk about basketball on this forum. :) I miss those days. We still have a team, for however long. I'm just going to try and enjoy watching basketball again for as long as I can. Those other bridges will be crossed if or when we get to them.

I do think Sacramento and the region needs a new arena/sports/entertainment venue. However, I will be really pi**ed, if the Kings are gone and then we get a new arena.

Yeah I know its awful, they're friggin nuts dude. They're all a bunch of paranoid nutjobs. Last night I was arguing with this idiot shiner buck and I brought up a potential tourism tax and how it'd only cost people out of town like 5 cents when theyre here, and he even thought that was outrageous. I mean jeez.

If everyone in the county was willing to pony up the money it costs to buy a pack of gum, there'd be an arena. I know it's not that simple, but speaks volumes.

Glad to hear it. Every little bit helps. We also need the Bee, the TV news, everyone if we're to be successful. Please quit creaming everybody. We need to work together. Too little too late just means you quit. Don't quit.

This may sound like a MasterCard commercial but it is the truth:

a state of the art entertainment venue able to provide your city with the best basketball in the world and world class musical acts = 1 Latte/month
