(Citrus Heights, CA) - The Sacramento Capitals-Northern California's professional tennis team-kick off their 26th season with a grand opening in Sunrise Mall. The storefront ticket office will serve as a venue for ticket and retail sales and is the first of its kind for the franchise.

"The space will give us greater access to local residents and can serve as a stopping point for individuals who are new to tennis and curious about the team.
