On one hand a lot of the railyard and downtown stuff with Fargo was skipped (plus some of the stuff with the city and the Maloofs where Thomas walked out of the city council meeting)
on the other hand, insanely complicated and probably not necessary
back between probably about 96 and until about 02 I would usually go to about 10 to 15 games a year
the last game in that period was the one game I went to in 01/02 which was Kings-Lakers. Anywho, I didn’t go to a game again until 07/08 and it was such a weird experience because I never had been to a game before that wasn’t a sell out. So for me, Here We Stay kind of felt like a time machine.
I never went to any of the the Kings games in that era. I didn’t really catch on to what was happening until when I watched the team in that playoff year. I had moved here from the Bay Area and just involved in other areas of my life at the time. It must have really been something for all you guys to be on that amazing ride. I hope this team will turn around and the team will do a repeat of that amazing era, but capture the ring.
considering it was the last game and Fisher was in charge of the Player’s Association right before a lockout everyone knew was coming, might not be what we thought it was.
I don't think the Maloofs or the NBA are ignorant of the Burkle-AEG connection
Plus, Darius Anderson as a living, breathing bridge from Burkle to the arena campaign. KJ nor anyone else is going to wave those things in people’s faces, but they’re there all the same.
Something new that I think is a huge game changer in regards to the March 1 “deadline” is the revenue sharing deal. Even without knowing the details, we know that the Maloofs are now in a better position to “stick it out” in Sacramento if there aren’t any immediately better alternatives, and/or it makes the team a lot more attractive to a prospective buyer.
Speaking of the whole "Chief Marketing" people thing
kind of funny how the ThinkBIG stuff has been here in Sac for so long and then when the season starts the NBA in it’s national campaign is all about “BIG” Things
My boys are walking around and chanting “Here We Stay!” This next month will be huge. Definitely time for another HWS night. I want to continue to take my four boys for years to come!
We have been going to the games since thay came to Sacto, we enjoyed the trip down memory lane. I hope they can be a contender again for a title. Thanks for making this film.
Valuable documentary, not only for Sacramento’s cause, but the cause for any small market that finds itself in a similar situation in the future. There is still a lot left. This story is not over.
The Grant and Jerry sign-off
I can feel the tears well-up and the show has just begun.

Slam_Dunk - January 21, 2012
God I hope the people of our region
Watch this and understand the stakes involved…
pauleyusmc - January 21, 2012
Watching Grant and Jerry cry
Is making me cry all over again.
Lotusprime - January 21, 2012 via mobile
Is it me or does the G-Man look younger in his interview?
pauleyusmc - January 21, 2012
IRS the lighting.

It was fantastic.
I even saw myself in one still photo in the background.
Scott Section 213 - January 21, 2012
cough cough anyone know of a stream to this? cough cough
CousinsEvansDUO - January 21, 2012
do you not live in the greater Sacramento area?
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
what's up with the Horry shot framed in the background?
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
I was thinking the same thing
that picture keeps buggin me. I dont even want to look at it but my eye keeps goin to it
49Kings - January 21, 2012
It was the only picture we could find in the building...
that wasn’t screwed into the wall.
jjham15 - January 21, 2012
Should've burned it.
;)
Lotusprime - January 21, 2012 via mobile
amen i cant stop thinking about that
yaboyrafa - January 21, 2012
Breton talks better than he writes
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
not knocking his writing
just find it more interesting in this format
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
He sounds about the same to me
But I like him as a writer. I may not agree with his opinions all the time but I appreciate his ability to articulate them.
Lotusprime - January 21, 2012 via mobile
Napear is dead on: it happened over night
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
Wow! Just like that the team came together.
Slam_Dunk - January 21, 2012
Thank you Mr. Ham.
As a 31 year old fan, there is a lot of stuff in here I didn’t know from when I was too young to care.
Thank u sir.
Nutterball - January 21, 2012 via mobile
Yes this is awesome
yaboyrafa - January 21, 2012
Just curious
who did the music?
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
Uprock Audio
A young guy named John Glover did an all original score for the film.
jjham15 - January 21, 2012
And Jason Ross is the narrator.
jjham15 - January 21, 2012
I knew I recognized that voice.
Lotusprime - January 21, 2012 via mobile
was just going to say
“Sounds like someone using uprock.”
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
Absolutely true about Fargo and the railyard
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
I would have never thought to have the arena in the old railyard.
Thought the idea was crazy, but I see the merits now.
Slam_Dunk - January 21, 2012
i hate that robert horry shot picture behind him

I'm with ya!!
Boot Scoot Baby - January 21, 2012
Just saying
but curious how far off the projections on the sale tax revenue would have been off given the economy collapsed 4 years later.
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
If the railheads is worth 750 mil in 06
How much is it worth now? A billion?
Lotusprime - January 21, 2012 via mobile
Yards. Railyards.
Stupid iPhone.
Lotusprime - January 21, 2012 via mobile
We hit a recession since 06
Slam_Dunk - January 21, 2012
Yeah
But that land is gonna be worth a gazillion dollars in about ten to fifteen years.
Lotusprime - January 21, 2012 via mobile
In retrospect
It may have been for the best that Q&R failed. Sactown ate it pretty hard in the recession and the sales tax may have failed to cover the loan.
Deleran - January 21, 2012
On one hand a lot of the railyard and downtown stuff with Fargo was skipped (plus some of the stuff with the city and the Maloofs where Thomas walked out of the city council meeting)
on the other hand, insanely complicated and probably not necessary
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
Very difficult to capture nuances of political situations
It would have bogged big time.
jjham15 - January 21, 2012

I was making pizza. Damn it. Oh well I’m recording this.

Clearly showed his name with StR
Slam_Dunk - January 21, 2012
pizza sounds bomb
yaboyrafa - January 21, 2012
Homemade
Whole wheat crust, pepperoni and mushroom.
Lotusprime - January 21, 2012 via mobile
wow even the dough homemade?
yaboyrafa - January 21, 2012
Homemade dough and sauce
Store bought pepperoni and mushrooms.

HereWeStay was an amazing night for those of us who were fortunate to attend.
Slam_Dunk - January 21, 2012
it really was a incredible experience
i had no voice the next day
yaboyrafa - January 21, 2012
lol - my throat was sore for several days
Slam_Dunk - January 21, 2012
it was my first game in two years
and I used to go a ton when I was a kid so for me it was really surreal bizarre
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
The noise level was unbelievable
Slam_Dunk - January 21, 2012
back between probably about 96 and until about 02 I would usually go to about 10 to 15 games a year
the last game in that period was the one game I went to in 01/02 which was Kings-Lakers. Anywho, I didn’t go to a game again until 07/08 and it was such a weird experience because I never had been to a game before that wasn’t a sell out. So for me, Here We Stay kind of felt like a time machine.
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
I got interested in the team in 2002
I never went to any of the the Kings games in that era. I didn’t really catch on to what was happening until when I watched the team in that playoff year. I had moved here from the Bay Area and just involved in other areas of my life at the time. It must have really been something for all you guys to be on that amazing ride. I hope this team will turn around and the team will do a repeat of that amazing era, but capture the ring.
Slam_Dunk - January 21, 2012
yeah I actually wasn't living here from 00 to 08
but for the first four years was still in state and would visit family and friends
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
Donte!

I can't leave this to watch the ga

im with ya man
pass a slice of pizza this way
yaboyrafa - January 21, 2012
here we go...
yaboyrafa - January 21, 2012
Technically the Kings do kinda mirror the community
especially considering we’re talking about about disposal incomes
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
Im not gonna lie
when grant and jerry were talkin rite there i damn near shed a tear myself
49Kings - January 21, 2012
after lakers won
kobe went to phil jackson and said “what a fitiing way to end the era huh?”
i hate him
yaboyrafa - January 21, 2012
such a classy guy
Noble_Bloodlines - January 21, 2012
/fisher on that other hand...
yaboyrafa - January 21, 2012
technically
considering it was the last game and Fisher was in charge of the Player’s Association right before a lockout everyone knew was coming, might not be what we thought it was.
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
never even thought of that
good point
yaboyrafa - January 21, 2012
That was so cool for those fans to be there
Noble_Bloodlines - January 21, 2012
So wait, KJ doesn't think back to when he was a Cav?
I kid I kid
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
I am really curious if there is still a purchase of the Kings goin on in the background with the arena stuff
and whether it’s linked with some of the financing ideas going on within the tent
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
it’s the only thing that I can think of that would make this politicaly possible short of winning in court.
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
eh wish I could delete the "short of winning in court"
typing error!
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012

How did we take Kenny Smith.
Before KJ. That is crazy.

wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
Ha, never thought of that.
If Stern got that from us, he better be thinking BIG for Sacramento’s chances in this year’s lottery…
AnotherStupidSN - January 21, 2012
100% agree with Breton towards the end here
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
lol at ending
wallywagon11 - January 21, 2012
That was beautiful
James, Blake, Tobin thank you so much. Go kings!
Lotusprime - January 21, 2012 via mobile

when we do get the new arena
yaboyrafa - January 21, 2012

So why were no Lakers fans harmed in the making of this film???
Noble_Bloodlines - January 21, 2012
That was wonderful!!
We have been going to the games since thay came to Sacto, we enjoyed the trip down memory lane. I hope they can be a contender again for a title. Thanks for making this film.

It was a welcome break for me...
…especially from the GF’s emotional roller coasters, who is going through that time of the month. Yeah, I love her so, like the Kings. LOL
