The ARCO Arena is an indoor arena located in Sacramento, California. Completed in 1988, at a cost of $40 million - entirely privately financed - it is home to the Sacramento Kings of the NBA and the WNBA's Sacramento Monarchs. The arena seats 17,317 for basketball, and has 30 luxury suites and 412 club seats. The arena has been noted for its loud character - the continual capacity crowds, combined with wood floors, make it a tough environment for visiting teams. The arena has also hosted the Western Regionals of the NCAA Tournament twice.
"Arco Arena" is also a song by the alternative rock group Cake from the album Comfort Eagle.
