The Sprint Center Opening Event

For quite some time now there has been a bit of speculation about the opening event at The Sprint Center.

Forget what you've heard . . . TKC has the scoop.

The opening date is coming up and so far there are only rumors of a hockey team . . . The opening of the $300 million+ arena won't coincide with the opening of the P&L District (Electric Avenue) now that that project has hit delays and has few if any local business involved.

SO . . . In order to capture the non-event perfectly, the Sprint Center has given TKC permission to announce that this city's latest gaudy, glass building will host a theater in the round performance of Samuel Beckett's classic Waiting for Gadot as the kickoff for this catastrophe that will take a decade to play out.

Sure, the show is a little bleak and depressing but it's apropos considering that the wok-looking monstrosity is expected to bring about a new age in the urban core . . . An age when all the minorities disappear, people come back to downtown to shop and that phony number of 16,000 downtown residents gets closer to reality.

Also, I think "Waiting for Godot" is a good choice for the Sprint Center's opening event because . . . Let's be honest . . . It's not gonna draw a big crowd and any other attraction might definitively prove that there's no parking for the place.
