Sactown Royalty Nights At ARCO Arena - ElectReke BoogieLoo

Members of Sactown Royalty pose for last year's inaugural StR Night At ARCO Arena.
With the new schedule out, it’s time to start planning this year’s StR Nights at ARCO Arena. For those of you new members, last year Sactown Royalty held two nights at ARCO Arena, landing discount tickets for members. Between the two nights, I believe that we purchased nearly 200 tickets, and that was without a lot of pre-planning. This year we want to get ahead of the pack, so we need to start looking at prospective nights right now.
The first night that sticks out at me is Tuesday, December 21 vs. Golden State. This game will enable the maximum number of out of town members to perhaps get to Sacramento over the holidays and attend the game. In put on this game is welcome in the thread, especially from out of town members.
For the second game, I have found three potential opportunities:
- Saturday, February 12 vs. OKC
- Friday, March 18 vs. Philly
- Friday, April 1 vs. Denver
The Philly game probably fits on the calendar when you look in relation to the season and the 12/21 game, plus it marks the return (not COD, thankfully) of Noc and Hawes. OKC provides a Saturday night game, which might be easiest for the overall group, plus you get the Durantula. The Denver game brings ‘Melo.
I have a call into our ticket agent, but nothing has been set in stone yet. Once we speak, I will provide more information. But as a starting point, if the Golden State game winds up being game #1, which of the following do you prefer as game #2? Oh, and if you have other game suggestions, dump ‘em in the thread. Don’t get too caught up on perks or prices yet, at least until I find out what might be available.

I think the Dubs game is a great idea
We could do the “Taking back Arco” angle we talked about plus it should be an entertaining game. Hope all the out-of-towners coming for the holidays can make it.
For the other game, I went with OKC. I just like that it’s Saturday and that we get a legit superstar (we saw Melo last year).

Definitely the Golden State game for the 1st night
As for the 2nd I’m perfectly fine with all 3 of those, but I voted for the Philly one, just so we’d be able to give Spencer a round of applause when he enters the game. It’d also be a look at Jrue Holiday and Evan Turner, and probably the most likely of the three games listed to be a win.
I’d ranked Oklahoma City 2nd for the Durant show, and the fact that other than the home opener last year, we actually played OKC pretty well last year, even winning a very nice game at home.
Denver is a team we had a lot of luck with last year matchup wise, but we already had a Denver StR night so I’d probably rank that 3rd. But I’m good with all 3.

I would like to applaud Spencer.
Would also be a the most winnable game, which would be nice.

Ranked OKC for the Durant show...
and for the fact that the Kings seem to be following in their foot steps.

A good game would have been Nov 27 vs. Chicago.
But seeing as we are voting for a game after the Warriors one, I suppose Chicago is eliminated.

Yeah -
I also liked Memphis on Saturday, 11/6, but I thought that any of the games prior to the GS game were a little too close in proximity, plus it would leave us with no games in 2011.

That may be a bit too much
I’d rather have 2 with really good attendance. That first StR night was pretty awesome and we had a really good turnout. Hope we get that many people again for the Warriors game

True
One requirement for StR Nights this year though…

I agree

I'd love to attend
but I think I will be missing the STR night out again for 2010-11. I do foresee us attending one in 2011-12 though.

The BTB against Denver is going to be fun to watch
One game in Denver
One game in Sacramento. Can’t wait! :D

Feb 12th is too close to Feb 14th and that weekend will surely test the boundaries of love (and please let's not revisit the V-D debate)
April 1st is too perfect a day, some peeps may not actually believe it is StR night
That leaves March 18th, two days before the vernal equinox, it follows the Feb trade deadline and gets my vote for a second half of the season’s worth of brotherly love. A bromance for the mandate.
BTE makes a great point about Valentine's day
I don’t want to screw the whole poll up but if I had the chance I’d switch my vote to the Philly game now.
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
Crap I hadn't noticed that as well.
And I’d probably go do something with my girlfriend sometime that weekend too since the 14ths a Monday.

Yep
I’m guessing lots of people overlooked the date as well which proves one thing: we’re all terrible husbands/boyfriends…. except for Mr. BTE of course
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
To add
and I’m not sure, section, if you’re considering a re-vote because of the Valentine’s day situation, but I think it’s important for those voting to also post their vote in the thread. That way, we’re not having an Alridch situation here.
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
I doubt we're having an Aldridge situation here
if only because the Thunder are a very intriguing matchup.

Agree
It’s just funny how we forgot about the date and just concentrated on the matchup. I guess we kinda like basketball a little bit too much

Wait. What is this?
Is this the only date you guys are sure to get laid and you don’t want to mess it up?

I have no doubt that is the case, with the love of the game that you both share.

Maybe it's just me, but people are being cheap.
I get it, because I’m unemployed and all, but I’m still down for 4-5 StR Nights this season.
Why are so many peeps talking about one game for the first half and one for the second?

I think there's many reasons, Phuture
and I don’t think people are being ‘cheap.’ In my case for example, I already have a quarter season pass. I have two seats (wifey and I) so I already paid over $800 to go watch the Kings. Adding an extra $150-200 for 4 StR nights just doesn’t work for me. I already paid good money for my season tix, I have limited funds for other games.
Some people, truly, have better things to spend their money on. It doesn’t mean they are less of a fan than me or you, it’s just some people out there are really tight and Kings tix are luxury items. I understand how some people can’t afford $40 tickets 4-5 times in a season. Me, being a young guy, can’t imagine how it is to live in a recession with kids to feed, send to school, pay mortgage (I know now), and all the other stuff you have to worry about on a daily basis.
There’s also, like I mentioned above to Aykis, the fact that we want a lot of people to come out to StR nights. If you only make it two nights for the season, then there’s higher demand and more of a interest to go to Arco and hang out. If you have more nights then people can just pick 2 or 3 games and you end having a low turnout. I’d rather have 1 or 2 big StR nights, where most peeps are able to attend than 4-5 when we’re barely going to get enough people to afford the group rate.
One thing though, there’s always the option of organizing going to other games. It just won’t be under the ‘StR Night’ idea. I went to some games with people from around here last season and I know of others that did as well so if you’re interested in that, just try to get that going. I’d be down to get some cheap $10 tix for some games that are not part of my plan. We’ll see what happens with that once the season starts

Will be in town for holidays and definetaly will make it, I also voted for Philly, just because its spring break and I may be able to make that too.

I'm down for the Dubs
I also voted for the Thunder because I want to see how we match up with them. Lots of intriguing matchups: Durantula Vs Greene, Westbrooke Vs Tyreke, and I definately want to see Cousins dominate Aldridge and his weird, way over the shoulder shot.
Voted Zombie Sonics
Being single, I don’t give a damn if it’s Valentine’s day weekend, but I see the issues others would have. Still, would love to see Durantula live.
Also, totally down for the GSW game. I’m not sure how much we want to water it down, but a joint thing with Golden State of Mind could be nice. They could put us in contiguous sections and we could have dueling chants like it was a soccer game or something.
