  • Welcome to the Neighborhood: America-$ Sports Stadiums Are Moving Downtown
    Welcome to the Neighborhood: America's Sports Stadiums Are Moving... https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/19/business/sports-arena-development. .. r£btNtw§orkr£imts https://nyti.ms/2FSHOT8 "Welcome to the Neighborhood: America-$ Sports Stadiums Are Moving Downtown By Keith Schneider Jan. 19, 2018 SACRAMENTO - Hours before the Sacramento Kings played their N.B.A. home opener in October, Vivek Ranadive stood on the balcony of the team's new fourth­ floor office at the $1 billion Downtown Commons. He watched hoops fans stream into the year-old Golden 1 Center. He smiled at guests swimming in the rooftop pool of the brand new, 250-room Kimpton Sawyer Hotel. Below him, the open-air plaza at street level bustled with life. "Four years ago, this place was dead," said Mr. Ranadive, referring to downtown Sacramento, the capital city of the most-populous state in the union. Like many cities, Sacramento's urban core needed some serious rethinking. "You could have thrown a bowling ball," he said, "and it wouldn't have hit a soul." No longer. Three years after Mr. Ranadive, the owner of the Kings, partnered with the city to scrape away a nearly empty downtown mall, and a year after he opened the arena and the I-million-square-foot commons, Sacramento is a city reborn. The number of downtown jobs has increased 38 percent, according to the Downtown Sacramento Partnership, a city economic development group. In the last year, 27 new stores have opened and 23 others are scheduled to open this year. So much construction is happening that the city has decided to hire two dozen new employees to process applications and building permits.
