Sacramento Kings Arena Approved By City, Slated To Open In 2015 連接 http://0rz.tw/MJnEO The Sacramento City Council voted to approve a financing plan for a new arena in the city's downtown, ensuring that the Kings will remain in town for at least 30 more years. The arena is slated to open in time for the 2015-16 season , with construction targeted to begin in the spring of 2013. 沙加緬度市議會投票通過興建新球場的財政預算計劃，確保國王在未來至少30年都會待在 這座城市。預定於2015-16賽季開幕,計劃2013年開始動土。 Just a year ago, the Maloof family, owners of the Kings, appeared ready to move the club to Anaheim, even going so far as to put together a lease agreement to play in the Honda Center. But Kevin Johnson, Sacramento's mayor and a former All-Star point guard, convinced NBA commissioner David Stern to hear his city's case. After several extensions on the Maloofs' deadline to file for relocation while the league office and relocation committee investigated Sacramento's potential and blueprint for a new facility, the team announced it would remain in Sacramento for the 2011-12 season, assuming that a lockout didn't kill it. 而在此僅一年以前國王的老闆Maloof家族還打算將球隊遷到Anaheim，甚至已經決定好將要 在搬家之後租用Honda Center作為主場。但是沙加緬度市長和前全明星控衛KJ説服Stern聆 聽這座城市的計劃。在Maloof家族幾度延長搬遷最後期限之際，聯盟和搬遷委員會也審視 了沙加緬度市場的潛力以及新設施的藍圖，最終球隊宣佈會在11-12賽季會留下來，雖然這 是一個縮水的賽季。 The city announced a deal with the Kings and the NBA last week, and presented that agreement to the City Council for approval. On Tuesday, the council voted 7-2 in favor. 沙加緬度市在上週宣佈和國王和聯盟的交涉，向市議會提交了議案。星期二，議會投票以 7-2通過。 --
