"The Sacramento Kings are hoping their notoriously loud fans will give them the boost they need for their first win of the season at their home opener.The Kings take on the Golden State Warriors in the newly named Sleep Train Arena on Monday.The Kings are now 0-3 to start the season after a 106-98 double-overtime loss to the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night.Workers were busy Monday morning, preparing the arena for the home-opener following a Disney On Ice performance just hours earlier.Crews said they would have the floor \"game ready\" by 10 a.m. to allow the Warriors to take the court for practice.Meanwhile, Kings fans have high hopes for the team that just months earlier, appeared to be leaving Sacramento.\"It\u2019s bittersweet. You are told one thing, and they do another.\u00A0 It\u2019s like, do you want to invest in that time or just go with another team? I\u2019m a Kings fan -- I will stay with them as long as they stay here,\" Patrick Danna said.Even long-time Kings fans were finding it hard to remain faithful to the team after negotiations for a new arena were scuttled by team owners.\"You can\u2019t sit here and tell people you might leave or you might not.\u00A0 If you\u2019re going to leave, then hit the road,\" Carlos Bacera said.While a new arena is not on the table anytime soon, fans are hoping the focus can get back to the fun rather than business of basketball.\"I think the city and the Maloofs are driving hard bargains with each other, and so, you know, that takes the fun out of it really,\" Danna said.Nothing is more fun than a win at the home opener.\u00A0 Tip-off is at 7 p.m."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
