The $198M Sprint Center was a key element in Kansas City鈥檚 downtown entertainment district redevelopment efforts. City leaders had the vision to bring downtown Kansas City back to life, and the finest arena designers in the world collaborated to create this iconic structure.

Templates were made for the plumbing and the 2,204 trapezoidal pieces of the glass fa莽ade.鈥�

The multi-purpose venue hosts major league sports, as well as concerts, family shows, and special events. The arena also serves as the headquarters of the National Association of Basketball Coaches and houses the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame.听
