When does Kansas City get the Kings back?

No shit!

Whether it's the NBA or NHL, there is absolutely NO excuse to not have a professional sports team in the Sprint Center. NONE.

It makes a TON of money without an anchor tenant, and AEG likes to act like it doesn't matter to them if there ever is one. Which is bullshit. They aren't taking everything into consideration.

This town could support either, and saying otherwise is just more bullshit. KC is a completely different town than it was when either the Kings or the Scouts were here. It's a much better sports town. We sell out every pro soccer game, for ****'s sake. The Missouri Mavericks are a hit in Independence and no one has ever heard of any of their opponents, let alone the league that they play in.

We need a premiere winter sport.

Because we'll be under Chinese socialist rule by then?

How do you feel about this Flop? You said that the sting of the Sonics leaving was something that would pierce your soul forever, and that you would never love another Seattle NBA team as long as you lived.

What's your gauge on this one?

Nice thing is the Sprint Center has been doing great even without an anchor tenant.

Yeah, apparently they're in no rush to get one either.

Kind of lame but I don't live in KC anymore so it doesn't bother me too much.

There was an article posted a while back that listed the most over-extended sports cities in terms of population/disposable income and number of sports teams... and if KC added an NHL or NBA team, they would be on top of that list. The interesting thing is, IIRC, Denver was on top of the list, even though I thought they at least did a decent job of supporting all of their teams.

I've love to see a hockey team here, but I wonder how many people would be willing to put down money for 41 home games plus playoff games... it's a pretty big investment, not even including the high dollar seats on the glass.

Oh no, the Sacramento Kings are leaving? But I...well..that is...yeah. I still don't give a shit about the NBA.

I am not big into NBA or NHL I would love for a team to come in and be successful but I am really similar to you here...just pretty skeptical it would work.
