We're still 784 days away from the opening of the new downtown Sacramento arena, but the demolition of Downtown Plaza is already a little over a week in and walls are being dug into.

On Friday, an excavator was prepping for the demolition of the old Macy's building at 6^th and L Streets. According to a Kings spokesperson, this was done to make room for equipment that will be moved into the building. We caught some of this on video.

And here it is after the work had been done.

Complete tear down of this particular building is expected to begin in the coming days/weeks.

Here is the barricade to the right of the food court area.

This photo from Sactown Royalty user regirl shows tractors digging into the mall's roof.

Here are some photos from Richard Vanderzanden. The last one shows a construction vehicle being lifted onto the roof.

Lastly, here is an apparent webcam of the arena process from CBS 13 sent to us by Taylor Bird.

You can send us pictures to be featured on the site at asksactownroyalty@gmail.com. If you are taking pictures, please make sure to be courteous of the workers and do not access restricted parts of the site or interrupt work that is underway.
