Another new arena for the KC metro area

Well, as expected, now the KC metro will have 2 new arena's. Overland Park will also have a new arena, although it will be smaller than the planned "Sprint Center" in downtown Kansas City. Not sure if we need 2 new arena's when we have Kemper already, but there are probably between 1.8 and 2 million people in the metro so who knows. OP's new arena just one state financing, something needed for the project to move forward.

As the article also mentions, the suburb of Olathe is also trying to get their own arena. I would really have to question the wisdom of building 3 new arena's in the same metro in the same decade, not sure that is too wise. Since that project is the farthest behind, they may be the odd man out this time.
