Golden 1 Center

We went to the Disney On Ice show at Golden 1 Arena today, and it was absolutely amazing! It was such a heartwarming and magical experience. Everyone was singing along, dancing, and truly enjoying every moment. The skating was incredibly beautiful, graceful, and mesmerizing. The performers did a fantastic job — everything was organized so well! It was emotional, joyful, and unforgettable. Bravo to the entire team for such a wonderful show!

I watched my very first NBA game here — Lakers vs Kings — and it was such an amazing experience! The exterior design is stunning, with a modern metallic finish that looks great day or night. The crowd outside was full of excitement, and everyone was wearing jerseys, taking photos, and getting ready for the game. Even though I bought one of the cheapest tickets, the view was much better than I expected — I could clearly see the players and their movements. The lighting, sound system, and energy inside the arena were absolutely incredible. The atmosphere was electric — thousands of fans cheering, the big screen showing every play in perfect clarity, and the staff were super friendly and organized. It’s definitely a must-visit spot in Sacramento if you love basketball or want to feel the real NBA energy in person! 💜💛

I went for my first pro basketball game and it was an incredible experience. I wish I could have gotten closer seats and not so high up in the 200’s section but over all the experience and staff was great. I would definitely go again, but just wait until they play my team. The security check in was about the only part that took the longest, however there are plenty of lines that I unfortunately didn’t see until it was too late. Plan to arrive early to get some food if it’s something you would like, there is plenty of food around the area. Gates open 1 hour prior to the game and I would suggest parking at the US bank parking structure, it was a simple in and out and only had to walk about 2 blocks.

Catching the Kings here was a blast. Golden 1 Center is beautiful with a lot to do inside and out. Food options are good. Just walking around and seeing everything was fun. Everyone should come check it out. Go Kings!

We had a great experience at Golden 1 Center for Monster Jam! Getting in and out was super easy, there were lots of food options, and the bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout the event. Overall, everything felt well organized and stress-free. We’d definitely come back for another event.

Easy in, clean facilities. Short lines for food, drinks, and such. The biggest hit was the popcorn 🍿 😋 lol. We had good seats. We met great people at the game. Even though they didn't win the arena was nice to be in. The seats were even comfortable!! Thats a plus for me!

We watched Maroon 5 here! AMAZING SHOW! Section 210 Row B. Our seats were awesome! It was worth the 3 hour drive on a Friday to get here from bay area. I def prefer this place over Chase in SF. The seatin is not a steep. There's lots of restaurants within walking distance. Parking garage is next door, less than a 10 minute walk. Inside there lots of beer & alcohol vendors and different food. We had dinner at YardHouse and cookies from Insomnia cookies, so we just snacked on popcorn and bottled water during the concert. Oh they remove all caps from the sodas and waters...FYI. We'll be back!

Seats 13 in section 107, row P. Love how easy it was to get to our seats, and the whole layout of the arena felt simple. Despite a packed house, it was surprisingly easy to get around and there were bathrooms and concessions without lines the whole time. Parking across the street was simple, we went to a garage and it was 25 for the day which was so much better than being on the actual street. Also, I really felt safe and secure with just myself and my 8yo walking through the outdoor shops/mall area to the parking garage. The only star missing is because the seats were soooo small and close to one another...like I am only 5'4" and my knees were basically touching the seat in front of me.

This review is actually for the Sierra Nevada Bar in the Golden 1 Center, open during the Sacramento Kings games. It's a fun place to have drinks and look down to the court during the Kings games. There's two bar areas, and a great atmosphere. The bartenders are nice, engaging, and easy to carry a conversation with them, especially Kyle. So many people don't know that it's up on the Bridge Level. That's the level to get to your seats if your seats are in the upper level (200s). A great place to cheer for your team, in an open space, where you can walk around, visit, and enjoy the game.

To be clear: The stars are for the decent quality of the food and the good attitude from staff about the situation. Poor crowd management and lack of appropriate facilities and staffing. Sold out tickets for the event, knowing it's going to be a full house, and they: 1.) Had zero guidance or markers for security check points, so everyone was sprawled around, aimlessly. Spent more than an hour and a half waiting in line, only to find out what the backside of the building had check-points that were completely empty. No staff communicated with each other to redirect the crowd and spread the load. 2.) Arbitrary Bag Policies and no safe keeping alternative. Some bags were randomly allowed through despite policy size or "see through" material, making it completely random. They had 1 safe keeping tent for the entire venue and allegedly was at capacity, just after the doors opened. Arbitrary enforcement means forcing paying patrons like me, to throw my purse away, with all the belongings I couldn't fit inside my pockets. An expensive replacement for a lackluster event. No one was helpful after the event about where I might find the bags that were collected. 3.) Half the food and drink venues inside the building were closed. The ones that were open, were short staffed with only 1 or 2, leaving you with lines that were nearly as long as the security check points you had just escaped from. Golden One had access to view tickets sales and anticipate to plan accordingly for the amount of traffic they were going to receive. They didn't.

My home venue, how could I not love this place? Whether it's concerts or a Sacramento Kings game, I always leave with the best experience. The many times I have been here, any staff or security that I've come across are never overly rude or seem like they hate their job, unlike other venue spaces. Actually I find them quite friendly and welcoming-- every Kings game, there's always an employee happily feeding into the excited vibes of the crowd. Back in 2021-ish, something about their sound/audio systems during concerts used to make my ears hurt, but since I've been to concerts in the past 2 years, it seems like they either fixed the issue or did something to it to where I don't have that same sensation anymore, lol.

Went here for my son's commencement it was well organized and very party oriented. The announcers got the crowd excited and the deejays played a good selection of music. This is probably the best place to have this event in Sacramento.

We aren't often in Sacramento, and didn't know much about this venue. In June we were invited to our niece's graduation ceremony from UC Davis, which was held at the Golden 1 Center. We were able to find parking nearby at an independent parking garage. The walk to the outdoor gathering space was easy. It took a while to clear through security and get inside; in fact, we missed the first 20 minutes or so of the event waiting in the queue outside. Safety is important, but we weren't last minute arrivees, so the entrance protocol seemed to be slow. Once we did get inside we were greeted with a clean facility and friendly staff to help guide us to where open seating still existed. It happened up be up in the nosebleed seats. Despite being far from the action on the floor of the arena, the way the spectator seats are designed, plus the big screen TV's, I felt close to the event. I marveled at the overall architecture of the facility. It would be fun to watch a basketball game or other entertainment at this center. One of the reasons that I deducted a star is that as someone with long legs, the legroom wasn't that adequate for me. I became more uncomfortable as time went on for the ceremony, which took quite a long time to complete. As mentioned before, getting people in through security seemed to take a long time to accomplish. That was a second deduction from an ideal experience. I would still choose to attend events at this center, but would try to get seats closer to the performance floor level - at least half way, instead of way up high.

Last night's Playboi Carti concert at the Golden 1 Center was nothing short of electric -- from the moment I parked to the final lights-out roar of the crowd, everything about this venue and experience was perfectly smooth and high-energy in all the right ways. Let's start with parking -- honestly one of the easiest concert arrivals I've had at a major arena. Downtown Sacramento can get chaotic on event nights, but Golden 1 Center has their system dialed in. Signs were clear, attendants were friendly and professional, and I found a spot within minutes. Leaving afterward was just as seamless -- traffic flowed efficiently, and I was out of the garage and on I-5 in less than ten minutes. The moment I walked up to the arena, the vibe was unreal. The crowd energy was buzzing -- people dressed in full Opium-inspired fits, camera flashes everywhere, and the bass from the sound check already rumbling through the pavement. The staff at the entrance handled the lines quickly and courteously, scanning tickets with zero hassle. Security was on point but not overbearing -- friendly, efficient, and respectful. Inside, the venue itself looked immaculate. You can tell Golden 1 Center is kept in top shape -- everything from the polished floors to the sparkling restrooms (yes, even mid-concert) showed how much pride the staff takes in maintaining the space. Concessions were clean, lines moved fast, and the staff kept smiles on their faces all night despite the huge crowd. I was seated in Section 122 and the view was perfect -- close enough to feel the energy but still wide enough to take in the full stage design. The acoustics in this arena are next-level. You could feel every bass drop from Carti's set, but it was clean and balanced -- not the usual muffled distortion you sometimes get at big shows. The lighting setup was insane: flashing strobes, blood-red beams, smoke bursts timed perfectly with the beats -- the production team absolutely crushed it. And Playboi Carti himself? Pure chaos in the best possible way. The energy in that building was unreal -- mosh pits breaking out, fans screaming every lyric, the floor bouncing like a living heartbeat. Every track hit harder than the last, and the transitions were flawless. You could tell Carti feeds off his crowd -- the intensity, the movement, the wild sense of community that forms in those moments. One thing I really appreciated was how attentive and cool the staff were throughout. I saw employees handing out water to overheated fans, helping people find their seats, and keeping everything under control without ever killing the vibe. It felt safe, organized, and fun all at once -- a perfect balance. When the show finally ended and the lights came up, the whole place was glowing. Cleanup crews were already out making sure exits stayed clear and trash was picked up -- another detail that shows how well-run this venue is. Overall, Golden 1 Center delivered an A+ experience from start to finish. Easy parking, spotless facilities, organized entry, great staff, and world-class production made this one of the best concert nights I've had in years. If you're planning to see a show in Sacramento, there's no better spot than here. Thank you Golden 1 Center for hosting an unforgettable night -- and thank you Playboi Carti for turning the city into a full-on inferno. Definitely a 5-star experience across the board.

Linkin Park! Great show. Very nice arena, excellent seats, great sound, a bit of disorganization in lobby for bars and food service. I was there for show not the food!

I was here for a large convention and the facility was very nice. The restrooms were clean and accessible. Access in and out was handled well, even with the increased security in our modern age. The sound system was well balanced, it was easy to hear the entire program. The video screen throughout the building made it possible to not miss any part of the program, not matter where you were seated.

This is a good venue, not too small but not too big. I love that it's located right in DOCO and they have so many events. I've been to a few already this year and always love that there's something like this in Sacramento! The food is pretty decent.

Son, wife, and I watched the Kings play the Suns as part of our Thanksgiving vacation. This was the first time any of us had been to this venue. The area surrounding the arena has lots of good restaurants, bars, and shops. Old Town and Downtown are short walks away. These factors were about the last positive experience we had here. Besides placing an inferior product on the court, the arena itself is terrible. It reminded me of a higher level D1 NCAA stadium, not a pro arena. The second ring seats (where we sat) are super steep and the air conditioning outputs are overhead, so we froze. I don't know when they last cleaned the ducts, but the roof panels around each output was black and dirty. I can just imagine how dirty the circulating air is. The female usher in our section, for some reason, was extremely concerned with people having their legs hanging over the seats in front of them. This was an hour before tip-off, when about ten people total were in our section. After the game ended, her job then shifted to rushing people out of the section. I bet she's glad she has this job, where she can be in charge and "show her power." I almost gave her a couple of bucks and was going to tell her to buy a personality, but I passed. In conclusion, the area surrounding the arena is worth it, the arena itself not so much so.

I've never been to a better NBA court EVER, I am in complete awe, to walk in and feel like you're on the court is unbelievable! Just like the Sacramento airport, they nailed this center. The design, the flow, the energy, the juxtaposition within the capital city! Also incredibly friendly welcoming staff and locals. So completely fulfilled and satisfied, a true slam dunk ! #gowarriors

We watched Maroon 5 here.. food and accommodations were good. Parking was a very short walk away. Getting in wasnt much of a headache.

Fun little stadium. I was staying in a local hotel so I didn't have to worry about parking which I've heard is a pain. Be aware that service isn't great around the stadium so make sure to download your tickets ahead of time.

I've been to Golden 1 Center several times to go watch the Kings, and I love it here. I love how they move the line fast through security and when checking in fans into the arena. Another highlight I have for the arena is that the food is reasonable and the service here is on point. I love how friendly the workers are here. This stadium represents this city and would highly recommend those who are in the area to drop in for a concert and or to support the Sacramento Kings! Light The Beam!!!

Recently visited this arena! This area is huge! Multiple levels and even box level seats. Easy to find, but you might need to rush yourself to your seat since it could be a far walk. Plenty of food options to choose from. Anything that is tickling your fancy that specific day. We ordered the chicken tenders and fries. The fries were the right amount of crispy. Delicious. We visited for a game, and really enjoyed our visit.

I hate the Warriors, game was sketchy for a while however we made a big comeback. I wish Christie success as head coach. He was one of my favorite players when we made our run in early 2000s. Got ripped off by refs. Also loved the purple churro with chocolate sauce from Centro Cocina. LIGHT THE BEAM!!! LIGHT THE BEAM!!! LIGHT THE BEAM!!!

Golden 1 is the best NBA arena in the US for a reason. It's such a great place to catch a game and there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Upper level seats still offer a great view (my preferences there are sections 204-206 and 217-219). We've also been fortunate to have box seats and those are understandably fantastic. We've also been numerous times for concerts and the same holds true. I always love coming here for events! Pros: -Location is perfect for before and after events with tons of bars and restaurants nearby. -Aesthetically 10/10, just fun to be in! -Concessions offer combinations of local cuisine (Selland's) and game favorites (nachos/hot dogs). -There's never a huge line for the bathroom. Can't say the same for a lot of the older local arenas. Cons: -It's downtown, so parking isn't always a piece of cake (or cheap), but this is to be expected.

Nothing about this place deserves less than 4 stars. Came here for my first Kings game. The surrounding area is super cool. Walkable. Great transportation. And has lots of food and drink options. Not a bad seat in the arena. Every spot is a good view. I was up in the 200s on the Monday night I went. Because there are a bunch of ways to enter, there isn't a ton of long lines to get in. Drinks went around 15 bucks and food was about the same. And you'll pay about 7 dollars for snacks. Escalators and elevators are available and plentiful which makes it pretty good accessibility wise. The stairs are steep though. And that's really the only knock. Be careful and slow when going up and down. Some areas are railing-less.

I was here with my sisters on June 11 of this year to watch the one and only, Janet Jackson, during her Together Again tour. It was our first sister concert together and it was my first concert in 6 years. A lot of fans turned out for her show, and the lines were long, but not long enough to where it would go down a block or so. The policy on what can be allowed and what can not be allowed was confusing cause my sister couldn't bring in her camcorder, even though the site online didn't say anything about camcorders. We had to go back to the car and put the camcorder in the car. Like, get it together, Golden 1 Center. But I will not minus a star for that. Food there was decent, had some nachos as my dinner while waiting for opening act Nelly to kick off his set. Lines were long, but that was because the venue was mostly packed. My sisters and I had upper seats and we were able to get amazing shots from where we were sitting. Like other concerts, the merch line was long, but my sister managed to buy two shirts. After Nelly did his set, which I enjoyed, I had a bathroom break, but lines get long for the bathroom, so you better be quick to get in first, otherwise you snooze you lose. I was very blessed to listen to all the Janet songs that I love so much, including Feedback, All For You, Miss You Much, Rhythm Nation and so much more. The show from start to finish was amazing and we had a blast.

Golden 1 center, the spot for King's games, concerts, and other events. There's a good variety of food and drink stalls to choose from and something for everyone. Came for a King's game and I have to give a shoutout to Frederic F. who usually ushers King's games in section 222. Friendly guy who genuinely cares about guests and makes sure it's a great experience for all. He noticed the little girl sitting in front of me covering her ears and he came up to let the father/guardian know where to go if she wants ear muffs. I thought that was an amazing act of kindness, care, and attentiveness that is not seen often. Thank you Frederic for making that king's game a great experience for my friend and I!

Golden 1 Center is truly a premier venue and since it's gone up in downtown Sacramento, we've been lucky to see some amazing musical artist, comedians, wrestling, monster trucks and not to mention this is the home of the Beam Team (LTB!). G1C has a great selection of local foods and I'm yet to be disappointed in a meal here. If I had to pick a favorite, the curry bowl on the concourse level is.. next level! If that's not your flavor, the chicken strips and fries on the 2nd level are legit and come with a house ranch sauce. SENSATIONAL. G1C has always brought great customer service. I'm always greeted with smiles and great energy. Whether it's been for a concert or for a basketball game, I love the enthusiasm the staff bring. Make it a point to get out to Golden 1 Center if you haven't already. Live entertainment, great food and company will really make for a wonderful experience

This is definitely a great arena. No real bad seats, no matter where you're located. Additionally, all the staff have always been pleasant when I come. It makes the experience much more enjoyable when you have staff excited to be there. I like coming here for basketball games and special events. I did ding a star for limited food options. I wish there were more unique food offerings. But overall, a great experience everytime and I can't wait to come back! Would recommend you check it out if you haven't been yet.

One of the ushers caught a guy who wasn't doing well in our row, which is great, but there had to talk over us and then we had to get up and wait until the guy was wheeled out by EMTs. And it wasn't just him, of course, his friends and family followed. I thought it would be the end of it once they finally cleared out but then the cleaning crew came in to clean up the puke. We had to stand while they did that. And then the usher told me not to stand in the way of people and I'm like where am I supposed to stand?! So I asked where I could talk to someone about a refund or relocating. She told me to talk to guest services. So I went to the desk, and this lady was watching something on her phone her I came up because I saw her put the video on pause when I approached. I asked for a partial refund, she told me I'd have to talk to guest services downstairs and we'd have to leave like right now. I'm like...well it wasn't my fault that I lost out on part of the show because all the cleaning and seat shifting was happening!!! So I asked to be reseated and she was like I might have something in section 212 and I'm over here thinking we would be in a worse area than where we were, so I gave up and just thanked her. We lost out on about half an hour of the show and it wasn't our fault. I'm sorry but that's just not acceptable.

Went to Monster Jam at Golden 1 Center and had an amazing time--the energy, the trucks, and the crowd were all awesome! The arena was clean, well-organized, and the staff made everything run smoothly.

lid police are after your water Bottle lids. not only do you spend a LOT on a refillable water bottle they take the lid off of it when you purchase it. so you can't reuse it and end up spilling it in the super short sided cup holders. not cool at all golden 1. do you not believe in recycling and reusing? but choose to make people pay more for your aluminum water bottles.???

We went to the golden one center this past weekend for a convention. We had delegates from around the world there. Everybody was singing having a great time. Golden one required security and metal detectors. Which they probably always do. We believe that was for our protection, so that was a great place for us. We went in and cleaned it up first before our event, and we cleaned it after the event. Golden one center was very pleased. I heard that they didn't have to clean it. I would hope other people would clean up after themselves so the golden one doesn't have to do it all. We enjoyed having our convention there August one through3. It was an amazing weekend at the golden one center. We loved meeting there for our convention.

I am so happy that there is an arena centrally located in Sacramento. Because of this, well known artist tour here regularly which is very convenient. Avid concert goers, like me, hate driving to the Oakland arena or Chase center just to see our favorite musicians. Golden One Center is clean and the sound system is loud. Like most arenas, the concession stands are expensive but it is what it is. Clear bag/ no bag policy enforced and parking prices are $20+

Hello: Last night a friend and I attended Stevie Nicks' concert and were seated on the second level. I had bought some merch before the concert but decided to buy some things after as well. When it came time to leave, a door was opened by staff for exiting purposes which had a staircase. I had believed it was ushering us to the first floor. They told us nothing. Instead we were ushered outside and then denied entry back inside by 2 staff members. I could see the merchandise table from the door but was not allowed in. This happened to numerous people who I spoke with outside the door; also unable to gain entry. Stevie lost money and so did you. Change your policies or be upfront. What happened last night should not have.

This venue is amazing, we saw Lainey Wilson and it was super nice. While we were waiting to go inside it was super hot out but the second we went inside it was air conditioned and felt great! It was super self explanatory to find your seat, there was workers everywhere to help people. If there is a game or concert you want to go to there 100/10 recommend!!

I've been to the Golden 1 Center over the years for Kings games. There's plenty of parking lots/garages nearby, and traffic isn't too bad on game nights. It's a decent arena, with mobile ordering for food/drinks going pretty smoothly in my experience. Their prohibited item list is extensive and occasionally irrational. An EMPTY, reusable water bottle can't be brought into the venue. However, someone had no problem sneaking their flask of alcohol inside. (I don't know for sure what was in their flask, but I'm making an educated guess based on the individuals' behavior.) Also, pay attention to their bag requirements! I don't even bring a purse in anymore since I don't want to deal with measuring my purses...they are very strict on the size. Upper level seating is incredibly steep, so anyone with mobility problems may want to err on the safe side and get lower level seating. Good atmosphere inside, but like most downtowns, the surrounding area outside isn't always the most ideal. Like any venue, it's difficult to move through the hoards of people at times, but all around a great entertainment spot for the people of Sac!

The Backstage Lounge is amazing! It was clean, lots of space to move around, great food (even sushi), and lots of beer on tap. The complimentary beer was a great surprise. The only down side is there is still a line to use the bathrooms. Definitely one of the best lounges I've been to.

We're trying to get into a concert it obvious they were not prepared for the crowd. I assume they checked ticked sales. The concert had a 7:00 start time we have been in line since 5:30 and still waiting I will never come here again it's an embarrassment to the city of Sacramento that they are so unorganized

4/5 stars because of the NO BAG POLICY what an absolute pain in the butt. So now I have to wear an outfit with large and deep pockets. How else am I going to bring in my lip gloss, money, and phone? We've only been here for Kings basketball games. Parking in the parking structure across the street is convenient enough. You can eat or get a Jamba Juice or Ice Cream before going into the arena or you can wait until you get into the arena and eat. There are alot of choices!

I've been to Golden 1 for all types of events - basketball games, concerts, Disney on Ice, etc. and I usually always enjoy my time here. The arena is very modern and up to date with lots of places to eat and check out. We love getting to the arena early and walking around before the show starts. There's not a bad seat in the house, but with that being said - I hate sitting in their nosebleeds sections. I think the stairs are too steep and there are no cup holders! Like what....? I saw Pink here recently and the opening act was very hard to enjoy because of sound - it was very loud, could not make out a lot of what they were singing. I don't think Golden 1 is great for certain types of music - sounds much better outside when the sounds aren't bouncing off the walls. Disney on Ice is okay here too as long as you don't sit in the black chairs on the floor - can't see over people because they aren't staggered. Sporting events are good here though - we recently went to see a Kings game (even though my family are Warriors fans) and had a great time. I love the surrounding DOCO area as well - lots of places to eat and shop at! I love the lawn area in front of the arena and just the other all vibes!

Wow, the worse stadium ever. You can't really see except on the projection screen . Poor organization skills

First time here Came to watch the Clippers vs the Kings I actually really like this arena The lay out is nice and not confusing at all everything is easy to get to Decor is nice Venue is clean Tons of places to get a drink or food Pretty much every seat here is a good seat in this arena Fans are nice and friendly I would definitely come back here again for any event

Nice venue located in downtown Sacramento, just steps away from the State Capitol. Was looking forward to this visit as we had Madonna Celebration Tour tickets! Venue is in a convenient location, surrounded by restaurants and retail...a great opportunity to dine before or after a show/game. The exterior building design sorta blends in to the area (it doesn't stand out)...we actually arrived and didn't know it...maybe we were too excited?!?!?! Interior is very well-kept and modern with a nostalgic feel. Seems that they had local food options that was very popular. Staff was very friendly and welcoming...not sure if it was because of the upgraded ticket package/experience we had or if they are always this was but "shout out" to them for starting our evening off right. Enthusiasm and utmost hospitality was evident here. Was ushered to a lounge area with light eats and Madonna music playing. Mingled with other fans and had some great photo ops. Once inside the actual arena floor area, it seemed very cozy and intimate considering 17,000 concert capacity. Seating area ushers were quite professional and let us know about the amenities (bar/lounge/restroom) specifically for our area. Also witnessed a minor medical emergency that the staff handled with sensitivity and professionalism. Not sure if we'll plan to ever visit this venue again but it was a very pleasant experience and Sacto is lucky to have it!

Location makes it painless to get dropped off/picked up without a headache. Call me old school but I like to pay cash for things like this and this place is cashless, this annoyed me because I had just gone to the ATM so I had cash in my pocket that I couldnt use here.

Oh damn! When I look at my review draft, it takes me back to Maroon 5, my first concert @G1C. Unfortunately, I wasn't interested in Sir Paul, the first concert to perform here. I think Maroon 5 was maybe #3?? Since then, I've watched the Kings, Depeche Mode, Posty, Duran Duran, and Janet Jackson. I just have to say that G1C is the best place to go for any event! There's multiple parking garages nearby, lots of restaurants and bars to PreGame @. In the beginning, I didn't like the nosebleed seats, but after attending a few events....it ain't that bad, especially if you get a bunch of friends here together! @first, I thought I was going to fall because of how steep the nosebleed seats are, but I haven't fallen yet, lol. I will gladly come to an event here vs all the other places in the area! There's so many parking options and so many places to hang out before/after event. Plus, there's lots of accommodations close by if you're thinking of making it a getaway.

Came here for wwe last night. Sounds a bit muffled up top but all in all great experience. Security at the door. Friendly. Smooth process Staff inside overall helpful. Biggest complaint: the staff at 219 section D. He told everyone we can't have phones out and any attempts to record will lead to being escorted out. Claimed it's a wwe policy. People were recording all throughout the night. So either he had a power trip or this rule is inconsistent. Regardless it was annoying being told this multiple times when it was not remotely true.

Golden 1 Center is a huge and nice venue. I've watched a lot of concerts here, and the experience has always been great. The sound quality is good, and the setup makes it easy to enjoy the show from almost any seat. A great spot for live events in Sacramento!

They keep things organized and listen to concerns upon entering the arena. The concession stands are convenient and well organized for the lines too

LIGHT THE BEAM!! The old Arco Arena was falling apart, and the Kings needed a new home BADLY. I remember the hype when this place opened in 2016 and seven years later it still awes the 17,608 who come to watch basketball, concerts, graduations, events, and more. I've been to countless sports arenas throughout California and I must say Golden 1 Center holds a special place in my heart. I'm not just saying that as a diehard Kings fan, mind you. Everything about Golden 1 Center screams "first class." A lot of the newer arenas and stadiums feel very "plasticky" (such as Chase Center and Levi's), but I can proudly say Golden 1 Center feels like "home." This arena truly is a monument to Sacramento as a growing city and power in the region. Located extremely conveniently in Downtown Sacramento, Golden 1 Center was incredibly well-designed and thought out. It's fun being able to walk to Kings games from my apartment! Although in the winter when it's freezing at night I do need to bring another jacket or two! What really stands out about Golden 1 Center is its unique design. To this day I've never seen any other building, let alone arena that is shaped like it. Golden 1 Center is also extremely sustainable. I'm pretty sure it's the only arena in the country that's 100% solar powered? (Somebody fact check me on that lol). In terms of fan experience Golden 1 Center is top notch. I love how they filled the arena will locally owned restaurants. And there truly isn't a "bad seat" in the house. The upper levels are definitely steep, but that's to create a better viewing atmosphere for fans. It really is remarkable what they turned the old Downtown Plaza into! I can proudly say I was at the first Kings preseason game, first Kings regular season game, and first Kings playoff game (last year Game 1) in Golden 1 Center history. First NBA Finals game is next! I highly recommend Golden 1 Center!

Contacting by email is a joke. Been trying for several months and no response. I am disabled and unable to purchase accessible tickets online. I don't know if they have personnel monitoring emails

I visited Sacramento from SoCal 4/11/25 to see my best friend. We went to see WWE Monday Night Raw at Golden 1 Center and we had an amazing time. Our seats were in section 216 Row N and they were perfect for us. We had an absolute blast.

Very easy to get there. I went to Pink concert and we really enjoyed our time there. We found our seating location very easy as well. The bathrooms were very clean and there were plenty of stalls. They even a conditioned the mans bathroom for ladies. Because there were more ladies than man in there. It was an awesome night. Pink was great!!

Totally unexpected during my CIM weekend. Cousins asked me if wanted to see Sacramento Kings bs Pelicans playing at home. It perfect way to celebrate my finish and get to see my second NBA game. Also my first time in Holden 1 Center. My cousins got pretty good seats in the lower section. It definitely one of those modern updates arenas. I like and stood out was feel open air arena. It spread out far all around. Maybe comparing it to TMobile in Vegas or Pepsi Center. It cool set up. I enjoy is the food in arena has few local spots inside. Asian stir fry or ramen spot. The line was way too long so ended up getting slice of pizza. Good. The sound system is amazing. I could see any concert here would be good time. Golden 1 Center spot would go back to for any event!

Great venue! Seats don't offer a bunch of leg room, but the arena makes up for it with the great sound and lights. Nice food and drink options, all fairly pricey but that's standard for sports events these days. Section 110 for PBR was a blast. Long lines for security and drinks but they move quickly. Bathrooms always available with little to no line. For local reviews or travel content you can find us on most socials @sunsetourist

Booking parking for events is easy. We always opt for the 555 parking garage right across the street. It is normally $25. We have tried other garages and had some really shady experiences. We have had no issues getting into the Golden One Center. We have a little one so I carry a clear bag with her necessities. The bag just gets tagged. The staff is really nice. There was one man one time who was pretty rude to people finding their seats for Disney On Ice. If you ever have a chance to see things "behind the scenes" go for it. It is like a maze down there. We are lucky to have the Golden One Center. The seats up top are way too narrow - so do not even buy tickets if that is all you can afford. We did once and I swear we almost fell rows below us. Never again! Stick with the lower level!!!!
