The newer NBA and NHL arenas have been hovering around 20. They realized that if you got any larger it made it pretty hard to fill it up for the games and ended up making the venue seem pretty cavernous.
Seating numbers does not even begin to explain how this is a lifesaver regarding Kemper. I trust you are not familiar with the KC area if you think it is still servicable.
The Big 12 already said they would not renew any Big 12 tourneys if a solution was not found.
I would have liked just over 20k, but I remember hearing somewhere there is actually an option to remove more seating should more suites be in demand = more $$$ = better chance to field a competive team.
The sweetness of the situation is that AEG runs the operation and they will definately fast track top concerts and shows to their facilities.
Now if we can just get a downtown baseball stadium and either renovations at Arrowhead on par with Green Bay's renovation, including a retractable roof to accomodate Final Fours & a Super Bowl. The NCAA and NFL have been very receptive to these ideas given Lamar's clout and KC's college basketball history.
IF KCMO can't stop ****ing off and get their act together I say KS build the chiefs a new stadium out by the racetrack, and ensure future light rail accessability.
