    historical site then what..
    american royal brings in more money than any event for kcmo

    if they want to invest money let them
    the historical group will just look at it and do nothing
    they dont have the money to fix it up or do anything with it.

    tear it down move forward with kcmo progress
    so many people live in the past

    and look what has happened to us

    we are not the center hub in the usa for flights
    we are not the center hub for professional basketball
    we are not the center hub for i could keep going and going

    chicago took all this away and we let them because of no progress on our part

    time to step up kcmo!

    Save Kemper.. It is so much more user friendly than the dump down town.. Plenty of parking, seats are much much more comfortable, easier to get to etc... Demolish Sprint Center and spend the money on Kemper... I used to go to 12-15 events a year at Kemper.. To date I have been to 3 Total at Sprint Center.. I refuse to go to Sprint and spend my money as long as it sucks as bad as it does...

    I use to go to the bike shows & other events that were held there in the early 2000's....

    We go there once a year in December for the USA Wrestling Duals. Older buildings have character that newer ones lack, so I nearly always vote for preservation over demolition. But then again, I don't live, work or pay taxes in KC, so my dog's really not in this fight. :)

    The one and only time I went there was in the late 70's or early 80's to a Tom Jones concert.
