On Tuesday, October 29, arena designer Mark Friedman of AECOM presented the latest concepts for Sacramento’s new sports center and entertainment complex to Sacramento’s City Council at a public meeting. The latest drawings of Friedman’s concepts show that it would involve both indoor and a possible second level outdoor use option. Friedman also proposed that the arena for Sacramento Kings’ and other events would be built below ground with the main concourse area to be constructed at street level. The proposed u-shaped structure would not have a “back”, which would help to open up the area around K Street, said Sacramento Kings President Chris Granger.
