What We Loved
- Great unobstructed view from our seat (Section 212, Row A, Seats 17 & 18)
- Great vibes: plenty of activities during game breaks. The dancers were almost as good as my favorite LA Clippers dancers.
- No issues entering the arena with my 2L lululemon belt bag (measures 8.3" x 2.2" x 5.7") although they prohibit bags larger 8" x 6" x 1".
- No issues with the parking: we paid $10 via ParkWhiz Pass to park in the Sacramento County Parking Garage, which was an easy 5 minute walk to the arena.
- Arena has ample of water refill stations, great for staying hydrate without spending $7 on a bottle of water.
What We Didn't Like
- Food options were limited, expensive and unoriginal (pizza, hot dogs, burger & pretzels).
- While most of the arena is accessible the team store has stairs that might not allow those with mobility limitations access.
- Our seat did not have a cup holder, we placed our drinks on the ledge in front of us.
The Verdict
We enjoyed fantastic, unobstructed views from Section 212, Row A at Golden 1 Center, loved the energetic atmosphere with impressive dancers and appreciated the plentiful water refill stations. Entry was smooth, even with our bag, and nearby ParkWhiz parking was convenient and affordable.
However, we found Golden 1 Center's food options limited, pricey, and unoriginal. While generally accessible, we noted the team store's stairs could be a barrier for some.
