Golden 1 Address To Honor Former NBA Commissioner
The Sacramento Kings have announced that they plan on filing with the City of Sacramento to create a new address for the new Golden 1 Center.
The arena's address will be 500 David J. Stern Walk. It will honor former NBA Commissioner David Stern.
"Commissioner Stern worked diligently to create a premier sports league that entertains fans and drives positive impact in communities around the globe," said Kings Owner and Chairman Vivek Ranadivé said in a press release. "We're truly honored to show how much we appreciate his dedication to making the world a better place, and highlighting his impact on Sacramento."
During his career as Commissioner, Stern helped with the sale of the Kings and the downtown arena deal, which secured that the team's tenure in Sacramento.
"Kings fans have fought long and hard for their team and a new home," said Commissioner David Stern. "I'm thrilled to see that dream realized and extremely honored and humbled by the team and City's gesture."
