“We are excited to welcome Kings fans back to Stockton Arena to tip-off another memorable season,” said Stockton Kings Vice President of Business Operations Aaron Morales. “Opening Night will launch exciting new activations for the season, renew fan favorites and celebrate the 209 community.”

Before tip-off, two-time WNBA champion and 2022 Finals MVP Las Vegas Aces guard Chelsea Gray, a Hayward native and former local standout at St. Mary’s High School of Stockton, will be on hand to meet with fans and take photographs with her MVP trophy. Also, during pre-game, Gray will be included in a presentation where the team will recognize local community heroes. 

During the game, fans will have the opportunity to take advantage of exciting deals including the fan-favorite Family Feast with $3 beer, soda, hot dogs and popcorn available every Thursday this season and snag apparel at the newly revamped Team Store. The arena will feature a Kids Zone, presented by First 5 of San Joaquin, Thrive Zone, presented by Kaiser Permanente and a Content Creation Station on the concourse for fans to capture memories for social media. In-game entertainment will include a halftime performance by chin balancing act Kevin Shiflett. And the first 1,000 fans to the Stockton Arena will receive an Opening Night long sleeve commemorative shirt, courtesy of Kaiser Permanente.
