The 2011 U.S. Figure Skating Championships passed on The Sprint Center and Kansas City . . . It is estimated the event would have brought more than 150,000 visitors and additional $30 million to the economy.
Meanwhile . . . The Sprint Center keeps getting older, more big names will likely take a pass in the future and an anchor tenant is nowhere in sight.

LIke the rest of the economy, the builders of the Sprint Center...including the radio sports guys who hyped it to the community... built before they had a decent business plan. Remember the nonstop Keitzmouth, oh we need this, we need that?
ReplyDeleteLike all the developers of that office and retail space around the country. Strip centers on every corner hosting small, underfunded businesspeople who last about a year before running out of their kids' tuition savings!
We should be allowed to use it for pickup hoops.
ReplyDeleteRumor has it that the Skating people heard about the huge number of deadbeats and crotch grabbers that will own the 1400 block of Grand, Walnut and Main by next year. No way they expose the skating cuties to the crap that will transfer down there from Wetsport.

ReplyDeleteBetting the cities future on tourism and events is a loser. Its a bigger loser now than even ten years ago. Every city in the US is spending themselves into oblivion trying to bring in tourists.
