Summary

This weekend fans will have an opportunity to go to Arco arena one last time. The arena opened in November 1998.

On Friday's episode I will talk about the greatest moments from my perspective from a building that shaped the history of Sacramento. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
