New Sacramento Kings Arena To Get Largest 4K Video Screens

The Sacramento area gets closer and closer to getting the new Golden 1 Arena in October, and according to the Kings' website, there will be another new feature, a giant 4K ultra-HD TV directly above the court. Earlier today the Kings posted a video talking about how they've partnered up with Panasonic to give the fans a state of the art experience when they go to the game.

This comes after word that the team will be giving fans Wi-Fi that is 17,000 times faster than the average home internet connection. To state that another way, this Wi-Fi has the power to send 500,000 Snapchat posts per second. That's a ridiculous amount and won't get anywhere close to that.

Vivek Ranadive, owner of the Kings, says, "Our partnership with Panasonic will revolutionize how fans consume the game – giving them an unmatched viewing experience from the moment they walk into Golden 1 Center," Ranadive said, via the Kings' website on Thursday. "We are proud to deliver the world's latest technology and provide a transformative experience to the best fans in the NBA."

With months still to go before the building is actually finished expect more reports like this to come out.
