“The Empty Arena” by Bruce Schoenfeld in The Atlantic magazine

Here’s a link to the above article about Kansas City’s failure to secure an NHL or NBA team for the Sprint Center. There isn’t anything new to those of us that have been following the story, but is a good read nonetheless.

Bonus linkage: “Dying In The Desert” by James Mirtle on From The Rink examines the dire situation of the Phoenix Coyotes, and Kansas City gets a mention. (This article from Toronto-based The Globe & Mail goes into detail about the Coyotes’ woes.)
