NOW OPEN

Downtown Kansas City is now home to one of the finest arenas in the country. Opened on Oct. 10, the $276 million Sprint Center is a state-of-the-art, 18,500-seat arena on the eastern edge of the Power & Light District. Elton John opened the arena with a special performance on Oct. 13.

Kansas City's new home for major concerts, sporting events and family shows, Sprint Center is the cornerstone in the revitalization of downtown Kansas City that in addition to the arena will feature condominiums, restaurants, themed bars, movie and live entertainment theaters and mixed retail.

The facility also houses the College Basketball Experience - a 41,500-square-foot building that features the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame as well as an interactive fan area. The hands-on, high-energy exhibits place visitors in electrifying game-like situations.

The arena complex comprises eight-and-a-half acres, bound by 13th Street to the north, Truman Road to the south, Oak Street to the east and Grand Boulevard to the west.

Sprint Center is a public/private partnership between the City of Kansas City and AEG, a world industry leader in entertainment and sporting ventures. AEG operates some of the world's finest arenas, from Los Angeles' STAPLES Center to London's new world-class arena, The O2.

Sprint Center will host more than 90 public events throughout the year and features smaller rooms for private meetings, seminars, receptions, charity functions, graduations and other special events.

Nearly one million guests are expected to visit Sprint Center in its inaugural year.
