Jones & Stokes Reviews

Parking and driving around here is a nightmare. I will never sit in the upper level seats again... I'm not afraid of heights, but I got massive vertigo being up there and had a mild panic attack. The only good thing about this place is that they support local eateries and there's lots of food and drink to choose from if you don't mind spending a small fortune. Also, I'm not a smoker anymore, but just a heads-up that there's no smoking section like they had at Arco.

I do my banking there everyone is always nice and helpful.

Good place to see a show. Second tier view box seats a challenge for the long legged amongst us. Need to watch out for the over sensitive metal detectors, they make the operators a little testy.

It was awesome. Only thing I was not happy with is that they did not utilize the screens for the lindsey stirling concert. And with all the choreography and performance she was doing, that was a huge downfall.

Great for the city. Great for NBA. Good for concerts.

I love the center! I did have one bad experience with an employee that works there, maybe he was having a bad day, I don't know. I was not pleased with him at all! Nosebleed seats are a little narrow and scary but I love the Golden 1 Center! Good selection of food if you get hungry, charging stations in case your phone needs it, lots of walking room.

Easy to get on and put of downtown. Great views even from the top.

Great facility, and enough entrances that it's not a huge line anywhere. The sound at the Stevie Nicks show was great.

The food is truly wonderful.
Acoustically, this is not an ideal venue for anything other than sports. Hate the fact of standing in line with no sun protection (shade) for a long time prior to entering for any given event.
But the food options are incredible.
It is a symbol, representative of how a 'city of trees' got rid of their trees, and replaced that slogan with 'farm to fork capital'.
If you cannot enter through VIP designated entrances, bring sunscreen.

They need a better system for allowing people into concerts. We missed the first 3 songs of Fleetwood Mac because we couldn't enter the building in time. If you are coming here for a concert and possibly any other event, come early and expect to be waiting a very long time to enter.

Great place to see a show, plenty to eat near by and very convenient to the Amtrak.. can see a show in Sacramento and be home in San Francisco by midnight(ish)

Attended a concert tonight, I am recovering from cancer and the chemo effects my tastes so regular water is unbearable to drink. As we were coming in they confiscated my flavored water, it was just crystal light and Gatorade. I begged him not to because I cannot handle the taste of regular water, but he said I had to purchase a bottle of water if I wanted a drink. I think the intolerance you have in your policy is ridiculous. I showed him my wrist band stating I am a chemo patient, he just shrugged. I will no longer support this place for any reason, concert or banking. It's just sad how people get treated now a days.

Nice size, design and location. Needs to be more clear of where box office is (kind of confusing). I dont know if they habe air conditioning in there but it is extremely hot in there.

Nice facility, seating can be a problem (tight seats and steep steps)parking not too bad, lots of parking lots.

We we're up at the top. The screens are a bit transparent from that angle so we were seeing the double. Like an out of focus camera. Also, it seemed like the acoustics we're a bit off. But- the venue is clean, staff very helpful and friendly. Outside there was a lot of security; I felt safe.

Not enough mid level seats. The high level seats are so high and steep, you need to be an acrobat to manuver them.

Went to see Trans Siberian Orchestras Christmas show. The music was awesome as well as the show and music. A truly magnificent event I will be sure to see next year.

Nice place first time there seats are to close together no leg room cant even cross your legs. Food way over priced and not that good. Show was good though TSO was great.

Way over priced. The seats are to cramped. I only give it 2 stars because the whole property is smoke free

best place to groundscore 21$ while seeing 21 pilots

The employees all did their jobs very attentively. It was a lot better than other venues I have seen. Thank you for the best Concert of my life.

Cramped seating, expensive food and drinks, no parking... never go there again

Bouncers here will kick people out for no real reasons. All you have to do is point to the people you want out and they ll go and kick people out.

Kind of pricey and you want to make sure you'll like your seats depending on the venue

In terms of sports venues, this is absolutely one of the best ones in the country. Being brand new, everything feels well laid out and modern. The center screen is absolutely massive and high definition which is great. Seats are relatively comfortable for a stadium. Food options are top notch with lots of local venues to pick from. Prices are high of course, but that's any stadium. Parking at the stadium is essentially non-existent, but there are plenty of lots in the downtown area and they are well prepared for the influx of people attending events.

Overall it the show was great the stadium clean beautiful but one of the people or maybe ushers that was patrolling our sections was very rude and mean and after we got everything situated sure just stared at us the whole time

1st deck in nice, it has cup holder where 2nd deck does not have cup holders. The 2nd deck seems really steep to me.

Awesome experience!!!!! Every seat is a Great view

Worst place ever I went there for a concert spend 200 on one ticket to go I got drunk at the bars they had and got kicked out because someone bumped into me and spilled my drink. The lady told me to go leave total bs.

I like the building design. Everything is new and modern.

Beautiful arena, and entirely powered by solar energy from SMUD's Rancho Seco facility. All seats seem to have a great view of the court, and the emcee and DJ do a great job of keeping the energy going even when the Kings aren't doing so hot. The arena is in the middle of downtown Sac and close to plenty of restaurants and bars. Food and beer in the arena are as expensive as you'd expect, a few local brews and restaurants available beyond the typical Bud Light and hot dogs.

Wow! What a place! When they put this in I thought they were crazy... downtown?... are they nutz?... it's orchestrated very well, as a matter a fact I think it's easier in and out of there then arco

Always have a good time here. As everyone says, the seats are a little tight. Staff are always friendly and the environment is always fun for a Kings game.

Came to see my first Kings game and I really like the place they outdid themselves. There are plenty of food places inside and the food looks great, also the visuals and sound where great!!!!

Loving the new arena. It's quite the experience. Fantastic food and beer options. I can't wait to see how downtown evolves around the place. Tip on parking: Park at one of the farther lots -- We park at the one across from the Sheraton. That way, you spend a few more minutes walking, but less time in the car battling the post event traffic.

Love the setup of this arena. Feels like a food court all the way around. Lots of good choices.

Great food options. Brand new beautiful arena. Clean bathrooms and friendly service from everyone. Parking is limited and very expensive.

Absolutely one of the best concerts!! Sam Smith you are a beautiful soul!!

Parking was a nightmare and traffic was a huge problem

Good place for indoor or outdoor events as long as you dont have to deal with parking

Clean, good food, lots of bathrooms, so-so sound. It is a basketball arena.

Saw Bob Seger and he put on an AWESOME show. Golden1 Center is a great venue.

Nice outdoor space to hang out and enjoy good food and company.

amazing start of the art arena for the people! not a bad view in the house!

Every single restroom there was poorly designed. You can barely fit in the stalls because the toilet paper dispenser sits down way too low. They need to be lifted. Even a very small person has a hard time sitting directly on the toilet because there is a huge toilet paper dispenser that sticks out over the toilet. Someone who is plus size has an even harder time. Usually I have to sit sideways or use the handicap stall.

Great venue for a concert! Wonderful staff both inside and outside the arena, super helpful!

Fisrt time going here. This placw is big. I loved it. Just wish prices were better

Enjoyed watching Sacramento Kings Basketball games and going to concerts.

An amazing performance by Pink and eveyone at Golden one was friendly and helpful... However know one has any business selling tickets behind the stage at this venue and especially for 185 dollars a ticket ...you look at a video screen that is backwards and when there are words written on it this is a problem... Still think Pink is an amazing performer and she is an inspiration but a little disappointed that my friend spent so much money for these tickets

Great show (Avenged Sevenfold), okay venue. What were the architects thinking when they designed the upper levels?! There's this thing some people have called acrophobia.

Wonderful new arena. Seating is a bit cramped with the slope of the upper level.

The food is delicious ...not your typical arena foods. Drinks are expensive but hey...you are having a grand time. The venue is great. The seats in the upper section are tight and very steep, though. Getting in and out of the arena does not seem to be an issue and there is plenty of parking you can reserve online.

Went to see a concert. Sat in section 104 it was great seating.
