Kemper Arena

Kemper Arena is on borrowed time thanks to the new super shiny arena on the hill. But for me this was my first arena I was in as a kid when I went to see Tanya Tucker as part of the American Royal way back in the day. I've seen many events and concerts in Kemper, but my favorite memories were of the KC Blades and the KC Comets who made the place a lot of fun to be in.

Sadly today it's considered to be a dump, and I expect to hear before long that it will be torn down. But while it still stands it's still a good arena, and it gets a rock solid 3 stars. Thank you Kemper for many, many good memories!

Poor Kemper.  It was once "the venue" I'm sure, but is now a white elephant in the will-they or won't-they West Bottoms neighborhood.  Sprint has taken all, all, all of the first-class business.

When I have been inside, for arena football games, it seemed nice enough.  It's location, location, location, and Kemper is just not in a vibrant part of town.  Bad call.

Sprint Center is going to soon put Kemper Arena out of business. Simply put. The only thing that Kemper holds now are rodeos and stuff like that. No major events anymore.

Kemper used to be a great place to be but now nobody really remembers it. I do not see Kemper Arena having much importance in Kansas City right now.
