Wow! Just took a look at the Sprint Center web site.
 

I moved away from my beloved KC about two and a half years ago just
as they were starting construction.

Now,I am watching a replay of the Brigade game,and wondered if this
game was at Kemper or the Sprint Center.

The site says that it will be finished in 101 days.Is there anyone who works in that area of town who can confirm this?

It looks like an awesome arena.I am betting that the NCCA will be begging KC to showcase some basketball there.

Anyway,I was just curious to know if the actual arena looks anything
like the concept drawings on Sprint's website.

Suck it St.Loser!

Eh, it don't look like that. Well, kinda. But it doesn't look as majestic. Looks pretty crappy.

I don't really agree with this at all. It looks pretty damn nice.

Not like in the picture. Plus I'm just not a big fan of the futuristic look.

It will never look as good as the conceptual rendering.

Is it the same design though?

Bob Dole has a friend who owns a store near the Sprint Center, and he says it's really starting to pick up in the area.

yeah.

It's about time that some of that OP money started flowing back
into an area that deserves it.

Bob Dole can't remember the name of the artsy area they were located in previously, but they seem to be very happy with the new location they've chosen.

Apparently they've been building up some word-of-mouth clientele. When Bob Dole talked to Clint last Tuesday, Keyaron Fox was the latest Chiefs repeat customer. (He likes to buy shoes.)

Thanks.

Where the hell do they expect people to park at?

Took a small downtown trip the other day and came away with this. Sprint center on the left, Kansas City Star building on the right.

That's the joy of a downtown arena that I think most people don't think about... you'll be parking a mile or so away

Thye are selling tickets to some Disney show, High school musical.

That game was still at Kemper, but they'll be playing at the Sprint Center next season.
