ESPN NBA

HISTORY:

When the Kings moved from Kansas City in 1985, they played at the original Arco Arena (also known as Sacramento Sports Arena) for three seasons. The current facility, which in October 2012 was renamed Sleep Train Arena from Power Balance Pavilion, opened at a cost of $40 million, the least expensive in the league. The floors in the seating area are made of hardwood, making the arena one of the loudest in the NBA -- as evidenced by the noise meter on the scoreboard.
