So many Kansas City politicos STILL mistakenly believe that pick-up b-ball games will fund the old school venue:
Score! Kemper Arena repurposing wins historic tax credits - Kansas City Business Journal
Foutch Brothers LLC received word Monday that the nearly $9 million in historic tax credits it expected to receive from Missouri for the repurposing of Kemper Arena have been approved.
I do understand that Kemper is "functionally obsolete" now that we have Sprint Center. But I hate to see it go; lots of memories of going to Blades hockey games. And I am still more of a fan of the old types of scoreboards with the segmented digits versus the all LED-screen type like they have today.
ReplyDeleteAnd I do realize that it's not in the city's best interests to continue to pump money into it.
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy if we could have a series of events as a "farewell tour"; some hockey and basketball games for a finale, then close it down.
Another yard ape KC project designed to bend over the tax payers again.
ReplyDelete"Kemper Arena will remain a viable venue after the Sprint Center is built". Just another lie from our civic leaders.
