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

I've read there's going to be over 7000 parking spaces within walking distance of the arena, which probably includes the 1200 spaces underneath the H&R Block building and the 6-story parking garage at 1201 Walnut.

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

I think the place looks cool as hell, but does anyone know why some of the outer glass is clear and some isn't? Is that a design thing? The randomness of it seems a little odd.

I've heard rumblings that the Missouri Valley Conference might yank their b-ball tourney from St. Louis and play it there.

The new stadium in Chicago looks like a spaceship landed on Soldier Field.

This one looks like a spaceship landed in a backwater convenience store's toilet bowl after the 350lb attendant just got done disposing of three burritos.

There is parking everywhere surrounding the SC. The distance walked will most likely be about the same you walk from the parking lot in Arrowhead to your seat. I've never understood the whole parking scare. Do people just assume there is no parking downtown?
