Staying in Sacramento

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

It’s a happy ending for one of the stories from our second season of episodes.

The Sacramento Kings will be staying in Sacramento. The city and the team reached a tentative deal yesterday to build a new arena in downtown Sacramento. You can read the full story in the Sacramento Bee.

Host Al Letson and Producer Laura Starecheski speak with Sacramento radio host Carmichael Dave

If you remember the story from our Sacramento show last fall, we told you about the diehard fans that came together to save their Kings. They rallied together and reacted powerfully when the owners put a plan in motion to move the team to Anaheim. We followed the ups and downs as the dramatic — and at the time, possibly final — season through the voices of local radio host Carmichael Dave, Mayor Kevin Johnson and others. Listen to the drama that led up to yesterday’s big decision.
