Sacramento Kings fans will experience the latest in the stadium-technology arms race when their new arena opens next season: Even in a capacity crowd of 17,500, everyone will still be able to make 13 Instagram posts per second.
The team signed a multiyear agreement with Comcast Corp. to provide the Internet infrastructure for the new $507 million Golden 1 Center, which was integral to keeping the Kings from moving to Seattle in 2013. Comcast, which is the Kings’ local TV partner, also provides the infrastructure for Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers and host of the upcoming Super Bowl.
