In a new op-ed posted on Medium, Kings Chairman Vivek Ranadivé writes that the goal is to create the first coliseum for the digital age.
“Unlike the venues of yore, your experience with Golden 1 Center will begin the moment you even think about attending an event. Imagine as you peruse available ticket inventory, you are reminded which of your friends are planning to attend, and where they are sitting. Imagine being intuitively directed to open parking spaces, on a real-time basis, within the downtown corridor. Imagine being virtually prompted to the shortest routes, shortest wait times or available reservations within the venue itself. Creating an environment where Golden 1 Center checks into you. We are designing a venue ecosystem that will anticipate and respond to your needs, on a hyper-individualized basis.
Here are a few quick facts from the team’s new tech report:
- Golden 1 Center will have more than 1 million square feet of Wi-Fi and cellular coverage, double the office space of the Transamerica Pyramid.
- Internet connectivity at the arena will be more than 17,000 times faster than an average home Internet connection.
- Its network will be able to handle 500,000 Snapchat posts per second.
