Sodboy13 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 If KC still can't draw a decent crowd with a top-tier club like the Penguins in town, that should officially kill any and all relocation talk involving the Sprint Center.

Lights Out Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 And if the Heat can't get people in the building, KC can wave goodbye to any outside shot they might have at an NBA team. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason they are playing there is because the same company owns both the Sprint Center and the LA Kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hard Times in the Paris of the PlainsOne day soon, the NBA lockout will be over, and a lot of people in [NBA] cities will celebrate. In Kansas City, they'll barely notice — except to possibly take umbrage at David Stern's refusal to honor us with a franchise that we don't really want except as validation of our needy aspirations to the big-time.(Emphasis added)If they really feel that way about the NBA in KC (this piece was written by a KC native), they must be even more apathetic about the NHL, where having a franchise doesn't even qualify as a bona fide community status symbol.

Some claim that a low AHL attendance means a city isn't ready for the NHL while others say it doesn't mean anything. Some would say that if a neutral city doesn't sell out for a preseason game, it's not an NHL market. I used to be one of those people but I finally realized that one game, between two teams from cities far from the arena, doesn't mean a thing either way. If it does sell out, it still doesn't prove anything about KC as a valid NHL market, and if it doesn't, it shouldn't disqualify them from the discussion of being one.

Ez Street Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hard Times in the Paris of the PlainsOne day soon, the NBA lockout will be over, and a lot of people in [NBA] cities will celebrate. In Kansas City, they'll barely notice ? except to possibly take umbrage at David Stern's refusal to honor us with a franchise that we don't really want except as validation of our needy aspirations to the big-time.(Emphasis added)If they really feel that way about the NBA in KC (this piece was written by a KC native), they must be even more apathetic about the NHL, where having a franchise doesn't even qualify as a bona fide community status symbol.The guy who wrote that article was a walking contradiction when he was interviewed on the local sports radio station. Dude hasn't live in Kansas City since he graduated from High School. He does not have the pulse of what the Kansas City community thinks.

pmoehrin Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 That preseason NBA Game has no chance of being played.I think a decent amount of the regular season games have no chance of being played. When you have players looking to play overseas already, that should tell you just how far apart the two sides are.I'm surprised its still even scheduled. They cancelled the summer league before the playoffs were even over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 The guy who wrote that article was a walking contradiction when he was interviewed on the local sports radio station.That's how you're supposed to write for Grantland, if Klosterman and Gladwell are any indication. You put forth a ridiculous premise (Kansas City is a city in continuous and heartbreaking disrepair that yearns for a sports team it will never ever get), walk it so far back as to put forth a second, diametrically opposed ridiculous premise (Kansas City is a place like nowhere else in the world that don't need no stinkin' sports team because we remember old PSAs), then compromise somewhere between the two (Kansas City is a place in America). It's Hegelian dialectic for stupid people. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Well, at least the NBA will come out of it with something resembling a fair system. Let's be honest, the players aren't winning this debate - they never do. You honestly think the mid-tier and low-tier players are still going to back up the stars by the end?
