Sprint Center is Kansas City’s home for sports, concerts, family shows, collegiate competitions and special events. Anchor to more than $6 billion of reinvestment in a revitalized downtown Kansas City, Sprint Center is a unique public/private partnership between the City of Kansas City and AEG. Kansas City’s phenomenal reception of Sprint Center programming resulted in the venue exceeding attendance projections, as to date, with more than 4.7 million guests attending more than 500 events. Having exceeded financial projections in each year since opening in 2007, AEG/Sprint Center has provided more than $6 million in unanticipated revenue to the City of Kansas City through a revenue sharing provision in the arena management agreement.
