In an effort to help regional hospitals from becoming overcrowded as the threat of the coronavirus grows in the Sacramento County, the Army Corps of Engineers is planning on turning the Sleep Train Arena — the former home of the Sacramento Kings — into a 360-bed field hospital, the Corps’ Chief Army Lt. Gen. Todd T. Semonite said in a press conference on Friday.
The Kings played in the Sleep Train Arena — formerly known as the Arco Arena — from 1988 to 2016. In 2016, they moved into their new home, the Golden 1 Center.
