was once upon a time ago a Lakers fan. then Kobe and Shaq arrived. I've been a fan since Divac arrived.... i was once trolled off of this board maybe 9 years ago... rejoined and somehow managed to hang on by a thread this time this time around.
You guys are my Kings family... You are my only means to truly express my love for this team and to vent... and man there have been some dark moments of fury or sadness as a fan of this team.
true story

for the clippers vs kings games i used to sit behind the Kings bench at the staples center... I could hear them talking i was so close 5-7 feet away... anyway during the game my all time fav player Spencer Hawes was being tossed around all over... he had just missed getting a board followed by a clipper timeout... as he was walking toward me i stood up and yelled "HEY HAWES!!" (then he looked right at me) and i yelled "HIT THE WEIGHTS!!!!" i yelled it so dang loud!!! haha, then he immediately looked at the ground sheepishly...one of my top Kings moments
flew to sacramento once to watch a game... it ended up being webbers last as a King... hope to visit the new ARENA in 2016!!!!!
and i look forward to the future shares next season...

Kings fan since 1998
Have something Kings related constantly around me, decal on my car's back windshield, wallpaper on my cell phone....I've taken my fandom of the Kings from El Dorado, Kansas to Las Cruces, New Mexico and now currently to near Cincinnati, Ohio.....I plan on never stopping.
GO KINGS!!!!!

Sacramento born and raised... not a big sports guy so didn't start really following the Kings until the 2007-08 season. Signed up here years back to see what people thought about a Kevin Martin/Rudy Gay swap and as you can see from my post count have been pretty quiet other than that. That being said, this is one of the few sites I check on a daily basis, and in the last month have been checking the Off the Court section probably more than any one person should. I currently live downtown about a five minute walk from the proposed arena site so you can imagine the idea of having a downtown arena is pretty exciting to me.
The possibility of our team leaving is something we've had to live with for a few seasons now. It's been a pretty rough ride. But I'm confident (trying not to cross that line into overconfident) that the BOG will do the right thing and vote in our favor. So we can put all this behind us and get back to what's important here, the game of basketball and our Sacramento Kings!
Oh, and God help us all if Smart is back next season.

Moved to Sacto area in 1974 from So Cal where I used to watch Elgan Baylor and Jerry West play in the old Sports Arena. Became a Kings fan when they moved here from K.C. and have attended at least one game a year since then (never had season tickets) and watched every Kings game I could on TV. I love our Kings, even in the down years. However, with new ownership, front office and coaches, with a good draft, trades and free agents and remaining here in Sacramento, I look forward to some really good times ahead with the kings.

I've been a member for 8 years and in that time I've made a whopping 68 posts. However, I do read this forum every day, particularly the last couple of years with all of the drama.
I've lived in the Sacramento area since 1989 and followed the Kings since the big first round playoff exit in 1996. The thought that the Kings may have played their last game in Sac makes my heart hurt.

Originally from Kansas City, so i have been a Kings fan since the KC-Omaha days
I really am praying hard that you do not lose the kings this way, i wonder what would have happened if KC had put up a fight when we lost the team in the 80's
I feel for seattle, but they should not get a team by stealing another, two wrongs don't make it right
Hoping for the best results for the Kings Nation!!!!1

I am in Elk Grove, I have been a Kings fan since the team moved here. Got to a handful of games every year and watch every game on tv. The last month has been tough to watch the games as the thought of losing the team and just the bad team play has gotten to me. I will be brokenhearted if the team is taken from us and not sure if I will still be an NBA fan or not. Most likely I will see if I can get interested in the Warriors. Go Kings, Go Sacramento and F the Maloofs. I am on this site multiple times per day

Kings fan since day one in Sac. Was 9 when they moved here. Lucky kid, grandpa had season tickets, screamed my head off at games. Hot seat luncheon veteran. Now live in Idaho, pre med student. Left Sac at 18.
Knowing the history of the city and the Kings, my perspective is that this arena deal will be the one catalyst that jumpstarts Sacramento's economy, modernizes the city, ignites a vibrant downtown, and makes it a place young people want to live, not leave.
