Didn’t the Kings eliminate the Suns in Phoenix? Maybe he’s referring to a watch party or something
Some reminiscing:
I was at the Peeler/KG game, The 2000 game 4 win over the Lakers and Game 3 Rattle Seattle mentioned in the article.
I also attended Tony Delk’s 53 point game
other top live moments:
-Kings eliminate the Jazz and Kings fans give Stockton/Malone a standing ovation
-LeBron James first game and the obnoxious Cavs fans who showed up in our section touting the future big 3 of LeBron, Ricky Davis and Darius Miles. To be fair, those guys put on a s how early but the Kings took over pretty quick
-a 2003 game against Dallas. We were able to get seats to closer to the court for this game. A lot of hype around it because Dallas was 31-5 and had started the season 14-0 or something….and the Kings destroyed them handily and the building was electric. I sat next to Charles Woodson and I asked Barry Bonds(who was a few rows up with Gary Sheffield) for an autograph and was told no.
2003-2004 Kings-Lakers game. Another particularly electric day game. Lakers brought Kobe, Shaq, Malone, and Payton. Kings destroyed them and Kobe only scored 8 points.
All the Mitch Richmond games when I was a kid. Back then it didn’t matter that the Kings sucked, they had Mitch Richmond.
my family had season tickets from 94 to 05 in the upper deck. We sat next to the loudest young couple who would berate fans who left early(whether the Kings were winning or not) and get on the Row J Section 224’s case if they weren’t loud enough. Nice people. Behind me was a guy who was a Kings fans but spent all game heckling Corliss Williamson during his first run with the team. He wasn’t happy if Corliss was in the game no matter what the Kings were doing “Don’t pass the ball to Corliss!” And “Corliss, you stink”. It was nice that the nose bleeds had so many regulars.
Going to miss the old barn. It’s not just nostalgia. It always had charm. It got so loud in there. Not just Kings game.
I went to a Korn concert there and thought I was deaf when I came out. Literally couldn’t hear a thing for a couple hours and almost panicked. I’ve seen Korn 5 other times in other venues and didn’t lose my hearing. ARCO Thunder definitely played a hand.
RIP ARCO
