G1C - Solar panels & other features

Just saw a link to the above on Facebook. Interesting...

Great to see this as well as the updated ESC rendering, quite possibly the most detailed view of the site we've had to date.

Also read in the another article that the cost of solar panels have dropped by more than half since 2008, making the energy savings a lot more cost-effective. Yay progress!

I really have no knowledge on how these things work, but is it normal for the sketches to be continuously changing until it is finished?

Yes

Neat side panels going up fast with surprise - leaf canopy design.

That looks great!

Here's another spectacular addition to the arena.

This scoreboard is as big as it could be. 6100 sq ft of screen with the highest technology. I would be willing to go to the arena to watch the game on this screen. There is far more in this arena that makes it special so I think it is worth a little team going to this link and doing a little reading.

While good basketball from our team is the goal, this wouldn't be bad.

Generally, they have smaller screens on the end zones.

When we kicked Seattle's ass, did anyone else here really envision this? I thought for sure it'd be another serviceable old Barn. Rough around the edges and loud as hell. I never thought we'd be playing in the baddest ****ing arena on the planet! Sacramento has stepped their game up in a very big way.
