Kings Blog: City taps law firm to review Kings loan

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

Saying they are seeking to protect the city financially should the Kings leave town, Sacramento officials have hired a specialist law firm to help enforce a legal requirement that the Kings pay off their $67 million city loan.

After 25 years, the Kings’ home in Natomas will get a new name on March 1: Power Balance Pavilion, named after the sports bracelets used by athletes such as Shaquille O’Neal and Drew Brees.

Kings move to Anaheim looking more likely, mayor says

Friday, March 4th, 2011

Sacramento now is no more than Plan B for the Sacramento Kings.

Anaheim’s Honda Center is newer and fancier than Power Balance Pavilion. Sacramento is a mid-sized market with an old arena, says Mayor Kevin Johnson, and the Kings owners need to do what works best for them. “Even if our team is selling out,” he says, ” … it’s hard economically to compete.”

Who will get the Arco Arena letters?

Friday, February 11th, 2011

Lucky season ticket holders, according to Kings co-owner Joe Maloof.

A worker removes letters for what has been the name of the Kings’ Sacramento homes since the NBA franchise came to town in 1985. The new name, Power Balance Pavilion, after a company that makes a sports wristband that purportedly helps an athlete’s performance, is to become official March 1. Maloof Sports and Entertainment, which owns the team and the building, hasn’t decided what to do with the Arco Arena lettering from the four sides of the building. Selling the rights to an arena’s name was almost unknown when the Kings first arrived and played in a 10,333-seat building that was replaced by the current 17,300-seat Kings arena in 1988. The old deal with Arco was for $750,000 per year. The financial details of the new name have not been disclosed.
