It seems a little disproportional that Sacramento is so rarely publicized given that it has the largest population out of the entire state of California. But thankfully that could be changing with both filmmaking and concerts.
The movie Lady Bird was recently filmed in Sacramento. Taking home two Golden Globe Awards the story of a teenager in her last days of high school. Although in the past famous movies have been filmed in Sacramento (including Memoirs of a Geisha), Sacramento still has not had the attention it deserves. This is especially strange given that it can be used for pretty much any middle-American location. With the filming of Lady Bird, $50,000 of business each day was generated for Sacramento.
With the concerts, Sacramento’s Golden 1 Center is thriving these days. Having sold over 473,000 tickets, this made it the 15th busiest concert venue throughout America (and 35th in the world) in 2017. Those numbers have put it on the map – especially throughout America – as Vivek Ranadive, owner and Chairman of the Sacramento Kings said: “The world’s biggest acts have a new stage to call home. Golden 1 Center is a must-play for artists of every genre, creating an epicenter of entertainment for the city of Sacramento and Northern California.”
