Rating based on value, service, food and amenities.

The single star is for the stadium itself as it is fairly easy to navigate and the restrooms are adequately clean for a sports venue.

0 stars for everything else. The security to get in gives off the impression that Sacramento is extremely dangerous and the security has been ordered to confiscate anything metal with a sharp edge. I saw them repeatedly take small keychain nail files from women as well as keychain mini tools from men. I personally lost a Leatherman squirt because of the 1 & 1/4" knife on it and while I appreciate the fact they want to keep people safe, a little common sense would go a long way.

The value is simply NOT there as food and drink are priced far higher than other venues in major cities with teams far better than the Kings. Domestic Beer $15 Hot Dogs $10 for what they call a "Jumbo" which is literally 1/2 the size of a Costco $1.50 hot dog (that comes with a drink btw). Even today's Superbowl commented that a hot dog and soda combo were going for $5.00 (just to give some perspective).

Speaking of food and hygeine, I got mild food poisoning from either the hot dog itself (definitely tasted funny), or possibly the community shared condiments (onions, relish, etc.) and was ill Sat night and Sunday as well.

I think the saddest part is the overall message the price of seats and overpriced food and drink sends the fans, which I am most definitely not, but there were many at the game who I am sure are spending their hard earned money to see their home team play. If you are going to charge $120 for adequate seats (high row, lower level behind the net) then at least offer reasonable food and drink for people and don't make them sick.

For me it was my second time going and I will not spend another penny at Golden 1 Center again and at this point I wouldn't even go back if it was free. Simply awful.
