Rumors are that, following the success of the first Sacramento Kings Filipino Heritage Night, Maloof Sports and Entertainment has scheduled a Filipino Heritage Night for the Sacramento Monarchs as well as the Sacramento Kings.
The Monarchs will host their Filipino Heritage Night on June 16, 2009, and the Kings will announce their date soon. A source within the Maloof organization indicated that of all the heritage nights held this Sacramento Kings season, the Filipino Heritage Night was the most successful, with two or three times as many tickets sold as the second most successful heritage night event.
Another source indicated hosting Philippine Basketball Association tryouts at Arco Arena within the next calendar year.
It looks as though the Maloofs are getting a taste of how powerful the Filipino American community in Sacramento is.
