TKC EXCLUSIVE!!! KANSAS CITY INSIDERS REVEAL: KEMPER ARENA COULD SOON BECOME EPIC LATINO CONCERT HALL!!!
Quick tidbit that KICK-ASS KANSAS CITY INSIDERS wanted us to reveal soon despite conflicts with the current City Hall stance on Kemper Arena that's holding up progress because of an ownership clause and the need to protect the Sprint Center.
Here's the deal . . .
KANSAS CITY INSIDERS TOUT AN EVEN MORE INTERESTING PLAN THAT COULD TURN KEMPER ARENA INTO A CULTURAL ATTRACTION WITH MORE POTENTIAL THAN AMATEUR SPORTS!!!
Moreover . . .
BEHIND THE SCENES, TALK OF TRANSFORMING KEMPER INTO A MOSTLY SPANISH-LANGUAGE MUSIC VENUE SHOWS FAR MORE PROMISE THAN MANY OTHER SCHEME!!!
Sadly, all of the same typical stumbling blocks could hold this one up . . .
- City Hall demands that somebody take over the Kemper problem. Outright ownership is a burden that most developers don't want to take on . . .
- The concert idea is tricky because City Hall doesn't want to give the hint of competition to the Sprint Center . . . Still, the Latino music option avoids this concern because there's only one Spanish-Language concert in Downtown Kansas City every year or so.
Meanwhile, this niche music plan is actually a tag-along to the amateur hockey idea and it seems the Foutch Bros. already have their hands full BETTER STILL . . . Spanish language concerts have a built in audience from KCK, the Westside and Northeast . . . And, it's always the case in this town that recent immigrants end up improving properties so real estate speculators can quickly move in afterwards and reap all of the economic benefits . . . All of the French places on the Westside are a perfect example of this trend.
Anyhoo . . .
The lesson here is that City Hall struggles to deal with Kemper Arena as Downtown overbuilding has left the rest of this town desperate to devise any plan to offset screwed up municipal priorities.
Developing . . .
Here is the reality TKC -
ReplyDeleteOnly a sports arena or a concert venue make sense. That is what it was designed for. Anything else will require too much renovation and would not be cost effective.
And let's not overestimate tearing the place down. Let the market figure out what to with the space.
You have to stop smoking that shit so early in the morning Amigo.
ReplyDeleteKnock the fucker down and fill in the money pit.
ReplyDeleteAgree with @9:24, tear it down. Best money City Hall could ever spend.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe this is where we we put the new convention hotel.
You are masturbating to fantasies again Tony. It's not the same as the real thing. I promise you if it ever happens you will like the real thing better. But right now, you are masturbating and its important that you know the difference.
ReplyDeleteAre the tax payers going to see any revenue out of this deal or is it another true racist move under the guise of equality?
ReplyDeleteNo. Taxpayers are going to subsidize this deal.
ReplyDeleteI do not understand what makes Kemper so important. It is not being used. It is eating up public funds. Why is it not time for it to go?
ReplyDelete9:30 some more drops in the Candice jar. Making the journey from the 1 gallon club to the 2 gallon club.
ReplyDeleteNuke the fucker and be done with it. End of story.
ReplyDeleteMany people were not born when people came to this country and said... Alright,I'm an American Now
ReplyDeleteSeems most people born starting around the 80's (MTV) and 90's (YouTube) do most of the whining these days about how America isn't diverse enough, and everything is so miserable because some people don't say yes when their petty desires aren't granted.
Mr. Tony,
ReplyDeleteI am ready! Got my accordion, let's go!
Good opportunity for a new wound-care center.
ReplyDeleteJesus imagine the smell in an arena full of Mexcrement. Horrific.
ReplyDeleteAdvantage is, you could get 'em all inside, surround the place, barricade the exits, and set the place on fire. You'd kill a bunch.
ReplyDeleteSo, good idea Tony. I'd pursue it.
Sam Brownback is America’s most unpopular governor!

ReplyDeleteA decent idea but the ownership clause is needed. Let's get this one of the city's books.
ReplyDeleteWell we have the Plaze, 18th and Vine and it looks like we'll soon see the Beaner Arena. Is there somewhere in town that could be reserved for peckerwoods to go have a safe experience?
