Sacramento Bee: The effort to build a new sports arena in Sacramento has gone national.
In recent days competing teams have emerged that include some of the country's most prolific developers of arenas and stadiums.
One group began talking last week at the request of Mayor Kevin Johnson. It includes ICON Venue Group, developer of two dozen arenas and stadiums around the world; Turner Construction, the national firm building the new jet concourse at Sacramento International Airport; and local developer David Taylor.
And re-emerging in the game Tuesday was developer Gerry Kamilos, who spearheaded the now-dead proposal to build an arena in the downtown railyard through a land swap involving the State Fair.
