Golden 1 Center
Sacramento, CA
United States
Golden 1 Center is a once in a generation project designed to profoundly impact Sacramento and the region. ICON's expertise and insight was essential in helping deliver the most advanced and greenest arena in the world to our fans and the city ahead of schedule. The team at ICON has been an incredible resource to rely upon.
Transforming Sacramento
Fit for a King
One of the NBA's newest gems and home to the Sacramento Kings served as a major catalyst for development for downtown Sacramento and the surrounding area. The impressive arena features aircraft hangar doors and the NBA’s first 4k videoboard. Golden 1 Center was the first indoor sports venue to earn LEED Platinum designation, the highest level of global recognition for environmentally conscious buildings and organizations. Outside the main entrance, an $8 million sculpture named “Coloring Book” by artist Jeff Koons greets visitors as they enter the building. All the concession stands at the facility are branded around local eateries and 90 percent of food and beverage concessions are sourced from a network of hundreds of farms within 150 miles.
