Johnson Favors Railyards As New Kings Arena Site - cbs13.com:

"Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson is speaking out about plans for a new arena.

Mayor Johnson says he prefers the downtown railyards as a site. Johnson says he recently spoke to NBA commissioner David Stern who had this warning:

'Sacramento's a great market and we want to be here and we're committed to keeping the Kings in Sacramento, but know that there has to be an entertainment complex that is consistent with competition around the country.'

Mayor Johnson says building an arena is a top priority and says he's trying find a way to pay for it."
