Since it opened in 2007, Sprint Center has become synonymous with entertainment in downtown Kansas City, whether visitors attend sports competitions, concerts or special events. A striking curved glass exterior enfolds an arena that seats as many as 18,000 patrons, depending on the individual event. During college, professional and amateur sporting events a 16 LED screen scoreboard ups the excitement ante. Named the nation's fourth busiest arena and the world's 14th busiest live entertainment venue, by Pollstar Magazine (2014), Sprint Center also easily accommodates Broadway shows such as Jesus Christ Superstar and iconic musicians as diverse as Paul McCartney or Cher.
