Best sections

Lower bowl (center sideline)

Center sideline seats give the most even view and put you close to the Kings' bench-side energy.

Club / lounge level

Club seating offers premium lounges and the arena's farm-to-table food options without long concourse lines.

Upper bowl (sideline)

Upper sideline rows are the best-value seats and still feel close in this compact, modern bowl.

Insider tips

  • The arena is steps from the Sacramento Valley light-rail and downtown garages, so transit is the simplest way in and out of DOCO.
  • On open-door nights early-season games can be breezy and cool after sunset — bring a light layer for upper-level seats.
