Sactown Royalty at ARCO Arena - The Next Chapter
First things first. We are not going to be able to put this together in time for the 12/16 Wizards game. This does not preclude you from independently moving forward with that game per SKingsFan's suggestion in the FanPosts (and information in the FanShots). However, after speaking with my ticket representative and reading the thread comments, we have come up with the following alternatives:
Monday, December 28, v. the Nuggets.
Wednesday, December 30, v. the Sixers.
Should this go well, we would plan an additional evening for the Milawukee Bucks game in March.
We also have our choice of locations - the 2nd deck, upper half, half court (yes, it could be the world's largest "view from section 214" that man has ever known). These seats are $25.50 each.
The is the upper deck, upper half, corner, $19.50. And there is the upper deck, lower half, corner, $40.50.
I can only attach one poll here, so the exercise goes as follows - we will go with the game that receives the most votes, regardless of the price point that you choose. We will then go with the majority price point, based on what was the most popular price point for both games combined. Confused? That makes all of us. Rules are subject to change based on my mood.
Once we determine the game and the price point, I will contact my ticket representative and we'll get it set up. At that time we will review the process for reserving seats and making payment (I believe that I will be able to reserve the block and then you will be able to contact the Kings and purchase your tickets via an StR reference). We will also discuss any potential perks (I believe that the larger the group, the more attention we might get, but we'll see). Based on the poll, we would have 132 potential attendees. 20 is the minimum. 80 would knock my socks off.
I'll also noodle with a donation idea - something like everyone can voluntarily donate to the SPCA (for example) based on their own criteria (I might donate $1 for every StR ticket that is purchased). Geoff Petrie is a big SPCA guy, so maybe he or the Kings would like to get in on it and/or match our donation. Like I said, I'm noodling with this - maybe our donation is somehow involved with one of the KIngs players groups (they each have their own community projects via the Kings), and it earns us a photo op with said player (not to mention doing something good in the community during the holiday season). It is important to note that I am on the ground floor with this idea, and it would be completely voluntary.
My thought is to let the poll run Tuesday and Wednesday, and then follow up with the next chapter on Thursday. Make your vote count (not like the hundreds of you that wasted past votes on "Ricky Rubio", "less than 17 wins", and "extend Kenny Natt."). So...

Quick idea before voting
This is what I’m doing: I want to hear what others have to say about these options and then I’ll make my vote. With some people coming out of town I want to be able to vote for what works for most. At least on my situation, I can probably do either game (it’ll just come down to the price… probably voting for the 25.50).
Just wanted to share that, maybe other want to take the same approach to voting.

If I was at the point of my life where that was doable, I totally would. We’ll see in three months though, maybe I can attend the Hornets game.

I'm good with either game
I prefer the half cour seats ($25.50). At the end of the day, the important thing is catching a game with you knuckleheads. It should be fun watching 80 of us trying to key into the game thread from our phones.

That's what I thought too
Game thread will be death that game. We also have to pick who does the “view” for that game… not me for sure.
And will Mr. Ziller honor us with his presence?

I want the half court seats with StR
And of course I want to be there on the rare occasion I’m in town for a game. I think 20 won’t be a problem, and judging by the turnout, I’ll be shocked if there is less than 50 there.

I voted for the Nuggets lower level in the corner – maybe we get some shirts canonblasted to us, ya know. Besides the players will be able to hear us yell much easier. WOOF
28th!!!!
I’m actually up there from 26-29! That would be my 5th game for the year, and in Arco! Please make this happen!!!!
It’s all about me BTW, I’ve learned that in my 6 years in SoCal.

I voted for the half court seats of the Sixers game
They’re so much better than corner, and 25.50 is pretty affordable for most people (while 40.50 might not be).
So in conclusion, I prefer the Sixers game (although I would go to either), and really prefer the 25.50 half-court seats.

Looks like all the rich people have voted so far lol.
40.50 and 25.50 is currently tied at 8. I think 25.50 eventually wins.

I’d rather pay for section 214 and the lower part of the upper bowl.

I kind of prefer the Nuggets game based strictly on the match-up
They are a much better, more interesting team, and if the Kings play them tough I think we’ll all walk away happy. If the Kings win it, we will be rockin’. The Sixers game, on the other hand, is one that they are expected to win.
Whatever. Either one works for me.

I’m guessing that 12/28 would be easier on people returning to Sac for the holidays. It really makes no difference to me, though.
The McCovey Chronicles (SBN’s SF Giants blog) typically has one or two of these gatherings each year. Usually they’ll meet up at a bar/restaurant before heading over to the park. I realize it’s a bit more difficult to arrange that in Sacramento, but it could still be fun. It would also make it easy for members to meet each other even if they can’t go to the game for some reason OR if they want to sit in a different section at the game.

Any chance at other perks?
Q&A session or anything? We get enough people together and they should do that.

I would also like to meet and greet with Jason Thompson.
If we can meet Thompson, I’m bringing a tape measure and step stool. By the time I’m done, I will have filled in all his missing information on the DraftExpress measurement board.
All right now Mr. Thompson, I’m going to need you to take off those shoes.

I'm in for whatever the masses are in for.
I would love to sit downstairs but I understand the financial commitments of others so I voted for the Denver 25.50 seats. We should try to meet before hand so we don’t end up paying 3-4 times more for parking.
Section- great idea on the SPCA- if the peeps at Arco don’t want to hold spots, maybe we can paypal to someone and attach the SPCA donation to it.

half court the 30th
I would rather see the whole court better and be half court. I think that 25.50 is not that much more than the other option so it should not be much harder for anybody than the cheaper seats.
I have my daughter on Mondays and Tuesdays, daddy duty, and voted for the 30th. Push comes to shove I don’t have her that night or something. The point being to hang out with people who understand the game and get it.
I already have tix to the Denver game

Perhaps we should get a written vote as well
Because of the possibility of trolls (we do tend to attract some) or Kings employees trying to influence the vote by voting for the highest price.

Either game works for me
I’d lean towards upper deck and half court though. Those really are choice seats, I sat there the whole time for the Nets game even though plenty of lower deck seats were available.
Either way, I’m definitely going to this. I didn’t get a chance to heckle Peaches last time. Shoule I print up the lyrics to the President of the USA song again for the group to serenade him with?

Any way we don’t wait until tomorrow for the final decision if it’s pretty clear what game it’s going to be? I’d like to ask for the day off at work and with holidays coming the faster I do it, the better chance I have of getting the day off.
Just wondering if it’s possible as it looks like we have over 100 votes already and that’s about the number of people that said wanted to go on the previous thred.

I put down a deposit to block out seats, and then you will all be provided a phone number and account reference so that you can call, reserve and pay for your seats.

OK, it's becoming a runaway
In the spirit of CNN, I am projecting a winner (and I can go in and close the poll, so don’t any of you sh*t disturbers think about getting cute with late votes).
12/28, Denver, the $25.50 half court seats. I’ll move forward with my ticket rep and have the next steps up and posted in the next day or two.

If it is the 76ers game
I bought courtside seats. I would def. like to attend a StR group game. Is it the game vs. the Wizards on the 16th?
It will be the 12/28 Denver game
More details to follow. I think a group may be trying to put something together on the 16th, but you need to hop over to SKIngsFans FanPost to see where they are on that.
