Ok here we go. New arena cost 387 million. Location downtown most likely. Railyards. Funding public/private
Specific funding streams TBD. Will be determined in the next 100 days. Will most likely come from Maloof lease, rental car, hotel tax, etc
More funding options laid out: arena ticket surcharge, arena sales tax.
Arena seating, over 19k. 44 additional luxury suites, 1368 add. prem and club. Hi res scoreboard.
4,100 new construction and permanent jobs across REGION. 556 MIL in new spending during build. 25 mil/yr after build
Exactly. Besides, using a basic design saves money on architectural costs. If you really want something that's on the cutting edge and really creatively different architecturally, you are going to pay really big bucks to hire a superstar architect. And you run the risk of people not liking it, including architectural critics. I'd love to have an iconic arena, as Sacramento has little great architecture, but if affording an arena at all means being more conventional in design, than I'm fine with it at this point.What's Fox40 trying to say, that they just copied the design?
What modern stadium isn't round-like with a mass amount of windows. It's just convention of current stadium design.

So the $370m number was correct. They added in 5% for cost overruns to get the $387m number.

That arena looks like a huge wast-0-time. why build an arena that #1 isn't special, with zero national attention because it doesn't have that one thing no other arena has, visibly(like jerry jones did with his crazy *** tvs). basically is needs to have a light rail station or be next to the amtrak or have a freaking hotel on top of it. anything other than just an arena. who is gonna care if we get a new arena if there isn't anything new drawing them to it. because the novelty of the whole thing WILL wear off if there isn't a HUGE reason to come back for more, put a freaking indian casino inside of the thing, anything, but what this picture is.
who ever drew that mock up should definitely look in the mirror and decide whether or not its worth it. bars and clubs always, thats a given, but if they want this thing to be better than arco(THE OLDEST ARENA EVER MADE! just like home!) it needs to match the times. the times say, go big or go home(or away if we are talking kings) and i want them to stay....but, if we are low balling a budget for a mediocre arena, shame on us.
I know the amount of work it took to muster up the funds and support for THIS mock. but, i would be more embarrassed with a gimmick-less arena than no arena at all. let me put it this way; if you are the last family on your block to remodel your house, would you remodel your home just like everyone else did just to say you remodeled and make improvement on what was already there. Or do you hire a interior designer, and make the house work for you. if you build this pos, half way through construction, someone might decide the insurance is more profitable than the actual product. just thinking out loud.

I guess the concept of no arena, and no team, vs a new arena, and the team staying put, is far too complicated for you to grasp.That arena looks like a huge wast-0-time. why build an arena that #1 isn't special, with zero national attention because it doesn't have that one thing no other arena has, visibly(like jerry jones did with his crazy *** tvs). basically is needs to have a light rail station or be next to the amtrak or have a freaking hotel on top of it. anything other than just an arena. who is gonna care if we get a new arena if there isn't anything new drawing them to it. because the novelty of the whole thing WILL wear off if there isn't a HUGE reason to come back for more, put a freaking indian casino inside of the thing, anything, but what this picture is.

2 things i know, its basketball, sacramento, the nba, demographics, and hype.
when barkley speaks of thing not pertaining to basketball, we might as well chalk it up as entertainment, but if any person said he doesn't have a genius basketball mind, i would just dismiss it as someone who is uneducated. That being said, i know a little about demographics. I have incited this before, and time will prove the final judge of these squabbles. And as it has been known by me to happen before, i look back on my rants or predictions or opinions however long ago they were, and the one who sounds more insane is not the the one who writes the truth. 2 things i know, its basketball, sacramento, the nba, demographics, and hype. Kd, thank you for 8+ years, im dropping this site like a mic. Not because of this, but because, i like to be entertained too.-fakeinjury
