As the Sacramento State Athletics program strives for new heights, they have released a rendering of what its future basketball home will look like next season.

One day removed from the headline-grabbing move to hire former Sacramento Kings guard Mike Bibby as the school’s new men’s basketball head coach, Sacramento State revealed a rendering of The Well, where the Hornets will play its home games for the 2025-26 season.

The Hornets’ current home stadium, The Nest, was built in 1955, only seats around 1,000 spectators, and is considered one of the oldest NCAA Division I facilities.

Sacramento State, which is also in the process of developing a new 25,000-seat football stadium that was announced in September 2024, now plans on opening the upgraded version of The Well for Bibby’s inaugural season as Hornets head coach.

Recently hired Sacramento State men’s basketball head coach and Sacramento Kings legend Mike Bibby joined The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross this week to share his thoughts on his new role.

Bibby, who was hired by Sacramento State earlier this week, joined the guys to discuss what led him to accept the position, share his goals for what he wants to accomplish with the Hornets, and much more.

Be sure to check out the entire interview with Sacramento State head coach Mike Bibby on the Sactown Sports 1140 YouTube page.

Bibby, 46, is currently a broadcaster for NBC Sports California, where he provides analysis for pregame and postgame Kings coverage.

Mike Bibby, a 14-year NBA veteran, has been searching for his next coaching opportunity following six years as a head coach at Shadow Mountain High School in Phoenix, Arizona.

Bibby led Shadow Mountain to four straight state championships, winning a total of five over his six-year run during the 2013 through 2019 seasons.

Sacramento State is fresh off a 7-25 season that saw them finish last in the Big Sky Conference.

As the Hornets continue to strive towards becoming an FBS school, adding a big name like Bibby could help the school’s chances to joining the Mountain West Conference in the coming years.
