New Sacramento arena laden with stuff

Always interesting to read what's inside (and outside) new stadiums; the new Sacramento arena seems to have lots of cool stuff: www.geekwire.com/2016/21st-century-sports-cathedral-sneak-peek-inside-nbas-newest-high-tech-arena/

- Six-story tall, 150-feet wide hangar doors that fulfill the Kings' intention to create the first indoor-outdoor arena. With the so called "Grand Entrance Doors" opened, an event could accommodate 15,000 seated in the bowl, with another 5,000 in the plaza with the doors open, watching on large screens and hearing the same music that the people inside are hearing, similar to an amphitheater experience.

- main scoreboard is 4K ultra-HD LED monster thought to be the world's biggest indoor scoreboard

- All Kings games are set to be broadcast via Virtual Reality 180-degree view, allowing anyone with a mobile VR headset to watch the game - replays and all – from any seat in the house.

- The Data Center also includes infrastructure capable of handling some 200 Gbps (gigabits per second) that can process 250,000 Instagram and 1 million Snapchat messages per second. “The average U.S. home has a connection of 11.7 Mbps, which means that the 200 Gbps number is the equivalent of over 17,000 homes, or a small city,” Montoya said. The Data Center manages 802.11ac Wave 2, 4×4 MU MIMO wireless technology with approximately 1 million feet of WiFi and cellular coverage.

- Inside the Command Center, monitored arena activities are shared among teams including guest services, social media, building operations, food and beverage, police, weather, traffic — 12 groups in all.

Construction cost of new Sacramento arena = $534.6mil

Construction cost of Perth Arena = $548.7mil (back when USD to AUD was 1:1:)

Not surprised though as visiting out of date old NBA arenas and then coming back to a brand new Perth Arena felt like some sort of joke. You get no value for money in this country this being a prime example.

While the new Sacramento arena is laden with stuff, Perth Arena ladened the pockets of greedy contractors milking an incompetent state government.

The Wildcats getting the scope of the project changed was a big factor in the construction cost.
