Fans enamored with all aspects of Golden 1 Center during its inaugural season in downtown Sacramento.

Mona Almanza is proudly wearing purple – lots of it in fact.
The purple Sacramento Kings shirt is just one facet of the accessorizing Almanza has done for a March game at Golden 1 Center. She proudly points out her purple-painted fingernails and explains how she made the purple Kings crown that snugly fits on her head. A cowbell is also part of her game-day apparel.
Waiting for other family members to show up, Almanza is basking in the sun on a gorgeous evening, surrounded by many Kings fans who are in no hurry to enter the beautiful new arena nearly two hours before game time.
