The Kings victory beam atop Golden 1 Center appears like it will be shining even brighter next season.
In a tweet posted Wednesday afternoon, the Kings told Sacramento residents to not be surprised if they saw the beam lit up later that night. Sure enough, the beam was lit a few hours later, just as it was 48 times during the 2022-23 NBA regular season and another three times in the playoffs.
Only this time, the beam looked a little different.
Sacramento natives noticed the beam looking brighter and taller in the capital city’s night sky. Kevin Fippin of The Kings Herald posted a comparison of Wednesday night’s beam compared to earlier this year.

Hey Brodie, the beam was definitely used for home and road wins. Thanks for covering this.
Thanks light the beam light the beam
This is excellent news, make the beam seen from space
To bad it's not original colors, sometimes watching warriors and kings it feels like trying to be like Lakers especially warriors with gold court

Dude the beam is already so bright 😂 I live in fair oaks which is at least 30 mins away and I see it easy. Sacramento loves you Brodie!
It’s good to see a happy Brodie again.
I am a Warriors fan but admit the Beam is so cool. I hope other sports teams will come up with cool ideas similar to this.
I remember In the early 2000s all the bandwagon Kings fans loved the Kings, then they jumped shipped just a few years later. So many FAKE Kings fans out here in the valley.
Kings content. Lets go
The Mariners light up the LEDs on the support beams on their retractable roof in a blue ‘W’ after their wins
I don't know that it's original idea when you look at the 9/11 tribute at WTC or the Luxor beam in Vegas. I'd agree that I've never seen a sports team use the idea, but I wouldn't call the idea itself original.
I just love the city of Sacramento. It feels so much more lively now that the Kings are good again. I'm a Solano county native but I'm definitely moving to Sac in the next couple of years.
One cool thing was we used it as a greeting/goodbye in Sac, like "aloha." If you were walking around town and saw someone wearing a Kings shirt, perfectly acceptable to say "light the beam!" Maybe we'll see the new beam debut in the California Classic, which, by the way, belongs in Sacramento. Looking forward to October! Light the beam!
Thanks for giving Sacramento love. Light The Beam!
Kings look to be getting New Jerseys this season as well Brodie!
That might be visible from space.
Brodie, can you do kings games postgame shows when youre not doing the Sharks? That would be the coolest.
At least my Kings are doing good 💜🖤💜🖤 polar opposite the f our A’s
In the year 3104, aliens are going to hover over whatever Sacramento is looking for whoever sent the distress signal.
The beam needs a song.
Back in the 80's after the Kings moved to Sac, the Kings seemed to have a "Tuesday home win streak." They just didn't lose on Tuesday. So somebody took Jefferson Starship's "We Built This City" and redid the words. This version was, "We built this city on basketball." One of the lyrics said, "It's just another Tuesday…"
Wonder if someone could make a "Light the Beam" song. Oh….use Ratt's "Round and Round." Get the idea?
We shall see by how SAC Kings will be future viable NBA team.
The Angels have been lighting the halo on the Big A in Anaheim after a win for decades, but this is still cool and different.
