There has been no study of the traffic impact of a downtown arena. Imagine the afternoon rush hour: workers are leaving downtown as people are arriving for an arena event. Can the I and J Street freeway on and off ramps handle the load, or will major modifications be needed? “If so, who will pay for it? Without any cost-sharing arrangement in the term sheet for such improvements, it is highly likely that the cost will fall on taxpayers. Will the cost fall on state taxpayers or city taxpayers? Freeway modifications of this type are notoriously expensive (ranging in cost from $50 to $100 million) and the failure to account for such costs now leaves city taxpayers extremely vulnerable to additional, unknown cost burdens in the future.” - Eye On Sacramento Report on the Arena Proposal
