'ARCO Arena' No More: Sacramento's Gym to Be Renamed in February

PrintMaloof Sports and Entertainment just announced that ARCO will be replaced as the team's arena naming rights partner when the gas company's contract ends in February. The release doesn't suggest that the Kings have a new sponsor for the gym. Stadium naming rights are vital source of income.
ARCO has graced the Kings' two Sacramento arenas for 24 years. No other NBA team has had the same name for more than 22 years (Detroit's Palace of Auburn Hills debuted in 1988).
There are few major corporations based in Sacramento. The only other corporate-sponsored sporting destination of note in Sacramento is Raley Field, sponsored by locally based supermarket chain Raley's and home to the Triple-A Sacramento Rivercats.
It's unclear why ARCO isn't renewing its deal.
The current ARCO Arena, of course, is a potential future site for the new state fairgrounds, should a plan backed by the NBA be adopted. A new Kings arena would be located near downtown. The 2013-14 season is a target for its opening, should all go according to plan, which is never does.

Wow
I can’t believe ARCO didn’t renew their lease. As for Raley’s, I doubt they would buy the naming rights. I’ve heard their having financial troubles of their own at the moment.

I've only known it as Arco
Its going to be weird calling it something else.
"For five decades (and counting), these fans have been blessed with West, Baylor, Wilt, Kareem, Magic, Shaq and Kobe. Seven of the 15 best players ever. At some point, the gravy train will end. The Lakers will bottom out like the Knicks did last decade, submarined by bad moves, poor signings and unlucky drafts. Their fans will flee in droves. Jack will pass away. The buzz will be gone. That's how the NBA works -- in a 30-team league, you can't always get lucky, not even if you're a big-market team with deep pockets. I don't know if that day is three years off or 30, but it's coming." Bill Simmons

Sactownroyalty.com Arena!
Peaches-Is-A-Tool Arena?
Aykis Arena?
NaArco Arena?
I’m totally going by no measurable means but maybe Nugget Market could sponsor something like this? Or Apple? Maybe not…Apple Arena seems too Peaches-on-Kevin-Martin soft.

Finally...
We can get other local businesses in on the plan:
Big Spoon Arena
Faces Arena (or even better, Headhunter’s Arena)
Kings on L Arena (self-promote much?)
Taste of Thai Arena
Squeeze Inn Arena
Steve’s Pizza Arena
…and my first choice — The Ailene Voison Memorial Arena. (Not that I wish death on anyone…just to her career).

As a former Raley's employee
and with family in the business, I can tell you right now that they won’t get the naming rights, nor will they likely even try to attempt to. They just don’t have the money.

This shouldn't be sarchasm.
because it is the most likely scenario. Yes, it is $ passing from one hand to the other and yes they would prefer to pull in $ from somebody else. All that being said, this is a way to support both businesses and it makes sense. They already do it obviously today with the 500 Palms commercials on every telecast, signage inside the arena, ads in the programs, etc..
If it is as difficult as they say to land a company then it may make more sense to name it the Palms until they get a better sponsor. Sign yourself to a yearly deal and just keep rolling it over until you land the big fish. I doubt they want to get stuck in another long-term deal with low rates when you still have the possibility of a new arena out there.

[REDACTED] Suck Arena
I’m going to miss Arco, it had a nice flow. Maybe the State wants to be a sponsor since they’re the largest employer? ARNHOLD AHRENA
Seems kind of convenient
That ARCO won’t pursue naming rights again for a few reasons.
1. A possible new arena, unless the naming rights would extend to a new venue
2. Arco’s affiliation with British Petroleum (BP)
3. Maybe the Maloofs/Kings won’t allow to them pursue naming rights for above reasons (but then again, money talks)

Round Table Pizza Arena
You guys out west have NO IDEA how good you have it. Round Table ROCKS! It’s a shame it’s not further east than it is by now.
I worked there for a year and a half - three or four days a week.
Every day I worked I had pizza without fail. Never did I come close to getting sick of it. It’s my favorite restaurant not named Mikuni’s or Celestin’s on J-Street.

it only costs them a little over $1.20 to make a pizza. And they’re getting practically $20 from us.

No it does not.
But trust me. At any given time they have about 3 or 4 kids making minimum wage and a “manager” making $11/hr. It’s a good set-up.
Another factoid: They only give a 20% discount to employees and any pizzas that are unclaimed or made wrong are thrown in the trash.

Agreed
I worked there while I put myself through college, and as I collected my minimum + a few cents/hour wage, the manager would routinely tell us the insane cash the owner was making off the place.
Childress then flew to Greece and asked the team if they would pay him in gold bars, hookiers, weed, and marijuana. The rest is history.

not quite sure specifically how grocery stores work to be honest
my comments were more general to be honest. I worked on a farm once where a lot of the farm hands assumed the owner was totally screwing them over and making himself rich and that was definitely not the case. They just assumed because he was the boss and they hated their jobs.

Sorry I didn’t mean to sound like someone making social commentary. I meant literally, they hated their jobs because their jobs really did suck actually (trust me, being a farm picker really sucks, particularly when you get paid for much you pick and especially if you are are honest and don’t pick rotted disgusting fruit inorder to make the machines calculate more weight).
I literally meant they assumed because they hated their jobs but not saying they were entitled or had no reason to hate their jobs is all.

They had nice cars and a gigantic mansion style house. The manager of that place had a coke habit so he may have been a bit of a liar, though he did actually show me the profit sheet one year ($400,000 for that one restaurant, they owned like 5) the same year they recinded the free mini pizza on breaks because “They weren’t doing well enough”.

I am in no way saying you didn't get screwed but these are just random thoughts that popped in my head from reading this thread
I am curious how much they pay for their franchise fee. I have zero clue how much those things cost.
I also have a hard time believing it only cost $1.20 per pizza given the meat, produce, and cost of heating a massive oven.
by wallywagon11 on Sep 21, 2010 10:53 AM PDT up reply actions
Yeah
I don’t know what the food actually cost. I have a hard time buying the $1.20 statement, considering how people freaked out when the wrong pizza was made and they tossed it.
I guess I did learn a lesson in American capitolism that year – If you have the capitol and a successful business (and the associated control) you can do whatever you like to increase your bottom line, and that makes treating your employees with dignity or a livable wage versus that 4th BMW an ethical question.

Sutter Health Stadium. Call it either “The Gurney” or “The Fort” or “The Morgue”
or go political – the State of California has to be the largest employer. Put it in the new budget – they can pass it in time for February. Call it the State of California Coliseum known as “the Lobby”.. Or CalPERS Complex aka “the Library” or better yet “Dentention Hall”.
The only other businesses I can think of are HP (there is already an HP Pavilion in San Jose) and Intel. The Intel Arena, also known as “The Chip”.
If the state sponsors,
does that mean no more Friday games?

"I said that because even tho Melo is a good player we shouldnt give up key pieces to get him. In order to get him we’d have to give up Ellis,Udoh and probably wright just to rent him for a year. No player in the league is worth that much for 1 year. Not even Lebron." ~ J-Riday Part II: The Explanation

I never went while I was in town.
Every time I drove by, I vowed I would go in someday just to say I did.
Maybe on my next visit! Lol.

Why do all the dumb shits call this building Kings Arena when it is a Sacramento Sports and Entertainment Complex? Just asking.
Why do you come to a Sacramento Kings blog?

Umm... I thought we were officially referring to Voison as the Chick Replacing Amick at the Paper? or CRAP, for short.
How about the "Alright Tyreke, I'll probably see you tomorrow" Arena?
Best f-cking Arena name f-cking ever.

In a recent development

On a side note
He is expected to have competition from another former Kings player, who was also granted a large sum of money, during his brief stay in Sacramento. His name for the arena is, “Lobster Tank.”
What does a gigantic herpe have to do with anything?
Unless we’re gonna call it Valtrex Arena?

I wasn't aware that K-9 actually ever played for the Kings. I thought he was simply employed by the them.
