Jones & Stokes Reviews

waste of money
on the plus side got rid of 90% of the homeless that hanged around that area

Very nice arena with many amenities. Team sucks though.

The Golden 1 Center is a beautifully structured sanctuary built to be the home base for our one an only, Sacramento Kings!!! Lighting in this environment is exceptional, perfect for selfies!

Getting through security is a joke. They need to learn how to create lines and keep them.

I am amazed the City of Sacramento allowed the Golden One Center to be built in downtown Sacramento. No parking. No traffic control. Very disorganized area. I may try it one more time if time allows me to take light rail. Light rail is only a couple of blocks from the area.

Lower Bowl seats are excellent, however, if you happen to be seated in the upper bowl, get ready for a less than impressive experience. The upper bowl is high and steep, with minimal space between rows. To save space, they neglected to add cup holders in the upperbowl. Food selection is excellent, but everything is served lukewarm, not hot, which definitely takes away from the experience.

So awesome to be able to so Neil Diamond in concert wow so amazing man ..

Came in on crutches and the staff was great and very accommodating.

Im in the lounge under the court. Epic feeling like nobody else is down here.

I attended Maroon 5 last night. My first concert in the new arena. PROS: I am so excited to finally get some good bands to Sacramemto. Parking was actually pretty smooth, we were able to park in a nearby garage and walk, easy in and out. (Tip if you purchase a parking pass for the Capitol Garage ahead of time it is only $10) I found the acoustics to be better than the old sleep train arena, BUT I expected much more, especially given all the money that was poured into this new arena. I was in the upper level and there is a almost a dangerously steep incline, and only about 12" in front of your seat for your legs leaving almost no room for people to get by. There are also no cup holders. We paid $5 for a glass of water, had to put it on the ground while we ate just to have it knocked over when someone was trying to get by. Overall we had a great time through, I just would have expected a few more bells and whistles. We will probably give lower level a try next time.

Sacramento Kings fans are the best. They make the atmosphere in Golden 1 Center vibrate on a very high frequency. It's amazing considering the Kings are struggling last in league with
.302 PCT in Real-time.

Very clean and open but it looked a bit old or like materials were repurposed. I have seen "newer looking" buildings that had to have been 10 years old.

Map didn't seem very high when buying tickets. It was stepper and higher than we thought. If you have fear of heights or falling don't buy tickets in 200 sections. worse than SAP Center.

Saw Tyga and YG.... how could I not love this place

Shows are great, Food is ridiculously expensive. Water $6, teriyaki chicken bowl $16, beer$14. Eat before you go inside.

Went to the monster jam with my daughter had a great time

Went for a Kings game , great fun ... Golden 1 is a top notch facility and locating it downtown is just what Sacramento needed.

Brand new arena hosting Sacramento Kings home NBA games and many other events including concerts, college basketball, monster trucks and more. Plenty of food options

Every seat in the house.... GOOD view..... Overpriced stuff tho. 14a beer

Exspensive Drinks! Foo Fighters are worth it,we paid for parking ahead of time that was great the venue is steep,almost scary ,the sound was great 1st visit.

Fantastic venue for big shows. Can't wait to go back. Drinks are a bit expensive.

Parking is horrible and expensive. Lines long and not enough shade.

We went to see the Foo Fighters in December. I was very impressed with the venue, acoustics, food and drink options, and overall cleanliness and design of the facility. Even the security was excellent. It reminds me a lot of the Sac International Airport, but it's very impressive. I will definitely be back for my next show.

Ok just have to give a shout out to the SpotHero app.... I took my son to Disney on Ice and used the app to find and reserve a parking spot across the street from Golden 1...Amazing show the res. From your phone in and out and easy peasy.

This arena is the most beautiful and advanced in the world. My family often stops to admire it. The only thing limiting five stars is the cost of food and drink inside. It is a must-see though!

It's the best arena and they got the biggest screen in the NBA

Very clean. Super nice and professional staff! Convince of location was nie too

Could have had monitors... Other than that Lindsey Sterling was the best!!!

Awesome place. Selfie sticks are not welcome. Fast security close to downtown

So impressive as a venue, and outstanding food options.

The acoustics suck. Too much echo. Small seats. Traffic and parking is terrible.

Great venue, wish they had all doors open for entry on a rainy night but enjoyed the evening! Good food selections, love their support of local businesses!

Facility was well layed out easy access to food and restrooms. Went for a concert, music and visuals were amazing.

A wonderful nice comfortable place that you could enjoy whomever you're there to see

Amazing brand new facility and great Kings game. Tons of local food, full beers, state of the art audio/video. I don't think all of the traffic flow is the best up near the beer locations, a lot of shoulder-to-shoulder shuffle walking in some choke points--this was irritating enough from me to reduce a star.

A really great atmosphere during the Kings games. Workers are always helpful during any event. If it's your first time here, don't regret getting an upper bowl seat, because even way up there, you still get an amazing view of the action. By the way, if you are looking for parking, I recommend 520 Capitol Mall parking garage.

Went there for the monster jam truck show.
Love the place and the event

Great indoor center to watch a game, even though we lost!!

The Golden 1 Center is really nice. Entry was smooth and effortless with no crazy lines and a very friendly staff. Me and two friends attended the Chris Brown Party Tour and sat in section 110 row J and the view was amazing. The seats weren't too cramped either. All of the food stations weren't open but the garlic fries I purchased were still a good snack. I'm looking forward to going back.

Very clean, very spacious, and the artwork and sculptures are eye popping. Having employees everywhere is a plus. Glad they had me as a guest. Will return!!!

$6 for a bottle of water $,12 for a soda $16 for beer not a water fountain to be found in the concourse rip off on everything I think they are trying to make make the entire cost of the building in the first years or something not much room in the seats if anyone needs bye everyone has to stand up and let them pass decent sound but kind of stacked on top of each other and the bathrooms packed up in seconds after intermission too many cops all around the place and no parking unless you give them your first born not very impressed by the new arena and what the hell is that sculpture out front has nothing to do with our city and the guy didn't even live here in town maybe get someone from our area that's an artist to do it and it will at least reflect upon the surrounding area hated the venue and security sucked to I'll go to Fresno instead from now on instead of feeling so ripped off and disappointed in my home town

I figured it would be better than it is.. Seating sucks.. If there was ever an incident where people had to get out fast the upper levels are SCREWED

Like the stadium, little over priced, but good venue.

The upper levels are pretty steep and it seems pretty dangerous to me. It's a nice place though.

10 dollars for a hot dog and there is no smoking section at all. Open a vaping lounge area at least

I really enjoy the Siri now when I come to the games

Fantastic setting downtown, lots to do around the G1 center.

Amazing set up. Every seat is a great one, especially for WWE events!

Perfect place for any concert!! John Mayer wad awesome!!

Attended the Lady Gaga concert here, music sounded great! Quick service at the food vendors and the servers were very polite. Bathrooms were kept clean although the stalls are small which isn't a problem but I advise if you are taking your children into the stall with you to wait for a larger one to open up.

Had a great time. The Staff was so helpful and made everything so easy!

Unfortunately, moving this arena downtown was a massive mistake. Traffic and parking for this arena are horrendous. They should have put the arena out by the previous one. Roads and infrastructure out there were already built up for it. There is no advantage for the public in having this arena in the downtown area, especially considering all of the bad things that came with putting it here.

Enjoyed the entertainment.... PINK! Nice facility with friendly staff!

The higher up seating seems very unsafe. I sat up there for a concert and everyone was crammed together and scared they would fall.

I absolutely love the new arena. The layout allows you to still feel like you are apart of the game when you get up to get food, snacks or drinks. This allows you to not have to fill confined to your seat to enjoy the game. As for concerts the layout and sound system make the experience well worth the time and money.

Lots of fun I love the saying " IF YOU DONT LIKE THAT YOU DONT LIKE KINGS BASKETBALL. Great place to go cheer on our SACRAMENTO KINGS. GO KINGS!

Do you enjoy watching sports or musical performances? Well guess what my friend. This is the place for you.

It's a great area that's right on top of a mall. In fact they demolished a mall to make way for this beast of an arena. Which is great because the mall was questionable to begin with.

We had a ton of fun here watching a concert, it was well organized and we didn't have to wait long for drinks or restrooms which is a bonus.

Parking is a bit strange, we ended up doing the emerald tower located at 300 capital mall for $10 (online price) and just walking a few blocks. Was well worth it. I'm unsure of the parking situation at the event itself, I can't imagine there's a ton.

All in all a good time and we'll worth seeing the new arena.

This is place is gorgeous. They have all kinds of food at good prices: burgers, barbecue, polish sausage, curry, thai, mexican, and even philly cheesesteaks. As a King's season ticket holder, I have been there many times and have never been disappointed. The arena is very well lit and spacious. Make sure to go early to check out all of the fun things they have going on in the atrium. Go Kings, Beat L.A.!!!
