Whether you're in search of a high-pressure final quarter or the thrill of listening to your favorite musician in person, the ARCO Arena in Sacramento, California, is the place you want to be. Officially opened in the late 1980s, the ARCO Arena is an indoor arena with more than 440,000 of square feet to its name. At the time, the venue cost approximately $40 million to build and was designed to handle anything from ice skating shows to basketball games. In fact, ARCO Arena is currently home to both the NBA Sacramento Kings and the WNBA Sacramento Monarchs.

Other than nail-biting basketball showdowns between home teams and visitors, the ARCO Arena has also played host to a number of musical guests, including the Rolling Stones, Garth Brooks, and Elton John. With almost 200 events taking place at the ARCO Arena each year, travelers can also anticipate seeing more contemporary acts such as Michael Bublé, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Rascal Flatts, Kanye West, Alicia Keys, Celine Dion, and the American Idols.
