much better than the first rendering. although this is not the final design, it will probably be tweeked a little, but not much...

Interesting that a city without NHL or NBA is getting such a fancy arena.

Good to know that it was designed by Toronto's own Frank Gehry though  ;)

is kc in the bidding for an expansion team? kinda like jax if not, we have a brand new arena but no NHL or NBA, imo because of all of the other cities in fl with teams.

You didn't read my first post very well, HOK, Ellerbe Beckett, 360 Architecture BEAT Frank Gehry for the design...

Also, we are going to get either NHL or NBA with this arena... Most likely NBA... We have 3 possible NBA teams, Orlando Magic, Sacramento Kings, and New Orleans Hornets... And one possible NHL team, the Mighty Ducks... (however with the current NHL situation, we will probably get NBA)

sonfire, how is this crap? Or were you referring to something else?

FLA, BOTH the Orlando Magic and Sacramento Kings are looking at KC to relocate, both franchises are wanting a new arena, and neither city is delivering...

You have no right to tell us that we won't get anything... You don't live here, and so you don't know jack about Kansas City or our development... So I suggest you keep quiet...

FLA is entitled to his opinion, whether he lives in the city or not.  I don't live in Detroit.  Does that mean that I know nothing about Detroit or its development?  Heck, when I first started repping Detroit on this forum, I had not been inside the city limits in more than ten years!

We have never seen FLA on the KC forum nor heard from him about KC until now... Plus, he shows no interest or knowledge on Kansas City...

But like KCGh said, he is entitled to his opinion, although it was very ignorant and stupid...

last i checked though, orlando does have an nba team.  and i highly doubt theyre seriously thinking about relocating to Kansas City?  and to get pissed off over comments like that is ridiculous.  people have the same rights to the kc thread as you.  so id stop your childish slanders. :whistling:
