On this episode I give you my fondest memories of Arco Arena which opened in 1988. The first event I witnessed in that arena was the 1988 Ring magazine fight of the year. Tony Lopez beat Rocky Lockridge for his first world title. It was as good of an atmosphere that I've ever experienced at a sporting event. Opening night for the Kings was one of my favorite moments as well. I can't remember much about the game, but it was my second NBA telecast and I was in awe of the evening! In 1996 the Kings played their first ever playoff game at Arco Arena. The Kings had won game 2 in Seattle and the ovation the fans gave the Kings when they took the floor is my favorite Arco Arena memory. I've never seen anything like it. I also discuss April14, 2011 when I broke down on camera thinking it was the last game the Kings would play in Sacramento. Obviously, the last game ever played in that building in 2016 was very special as well. I was blessed to be a part of the history of Arco Arena and I hope you enjoy this podcast!
