It was just like old times in Sacramento on Monday night: fans selling out Arco Arena and cowbells and screams reaching ear splitting levels.

We asked fans if this was the biggest game in the franchises 26-year history in Sacramento.

"Besides our first playoff game (1996) that we ever played? Yeah, it's one of the hugest," said Kenneth Thompson a season ticket holder since the franchise first arrived in 1985. Thompson was carrying a sign that read 'Take My Life, But Not My Kings.' "We just gotta show the Maloffs that we're still fans."

Kings owners George, Gavin and Joe Maloof sat courtside for the big game. A night fans put together as part of the "Here We Stay Campaign:' a last ditch effort to keep the team in Sacramento that came just hours before a deadline to apply for relocation was extended to mid-April.

"It absolutely sucks," Bruce Thibeadeau who's been going to games since 1989. "I'm heartbroken. I didn't sleep for the first three days after I found out about (the potential move). It was depressing."

Just a couple of miles away from the arena outside a nearby WalMart, we found a stark contrast to what fans were saying inside.

"Let em go man, they ain't doing us no good right now so let them go," said one Sacramento resident.

"They're going do good in Anaheim," said another. "They (are) gonna have a good foundation there. The only problem is that no one wants to spend the money out here."

That certainly wasn't the case on Monday night, where the lingering effects of a sellout crowd dominated the post-game press conference.

"It was really a wonderful environment and I did kind of step back and appreciate it a couple of times," said Kings' head coach Paul Westphal. "The place just went nuts. That kind of play and that kind of support it's almost poetic when you're a part of it."

"I just want the fans to know we obviously want to stay in Sacramento," said Kings' forward Jason Thompson. "And if we do then we should have games like that every night."

On Tuesday, the Maloofs postponed a meeting with Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson. They are expected to meet later this week. Johnson says right now he's pessimistic that the team will remain in Sacramento, but nothing is definitive.
