Whitlock: NHL makes more sense than NBA

40+ home games downtown could be tough in KC, where no one really lives nearby and the parking is kind of shitty.

Combine that with fans being interested in college basketball & football, NFL, MLS, and MLB, and there's a lot of competition for ticket purchases.

Who knows, though. I'd love another team to root for and watch on TV.

You're right. Hockey is going in the right direction right now in the KC area, but even with the progress the fan base for it probably isn't quite there yet. Soccer is the easiest and cheapest sporst for a kid to get into IMO, while hockey is one of the hardest and by far one of the most expensive. I wish it'd work out for an NHL team or NBA team, give this city literally any positive reason to cheer for a team and they'll come full force as we saw with the Royals and the turnaround for Sporting KC.
