Hockey in Kansas City

One of my new favorite blogs is Hockey in Kansas City, written by a very insightful local fan. Today's post starts out quoting The Pitch:

We're Pucked
Seven big-league hockey and basketball teams have rejected Kansas City. When the Sprint Center opens, will anyone love us?

He then goes on to offer some great comments on sports writing, writing in general in Kansas City papers, and some thoughts on the Sprint Center.

While I'm really glad to see all of the excitement surrounding the Sprint Center, I'm also concerned about the lack of an anchor occupent being named yet. I certainly hope it doesn't wind up being the great toilet bowl, flushing away Kansas City's dreams of becoming a more vibrant city.

Chiefs Fans Number TWO?

Does this get your goat just a little?

According to the Kansas City Business Journal :

The Kansas City Chiefs rank No. 2 for fan loyalty
and No. 3 for fan support among the 32 National Football League teams, according to a
study by American City Business Journals, parent of the Kansas City Business
Journal.

The rankings are based on such factors as average attendance, the
team's record, per capita income in the market and the December high
temperature.

For the study's period, 1996 through 2005, the Chiefs had average
attendance of 77,294 and a win-loss percentage of .556, ACBJ
said.

The Cleveland Browns rank No. 1 in fan loyalty and
No. 1 in fan support. The Philadelphia Eagles rank No. 3 in fan loyalty
and No. 2 in fan support.

How does it FEEL to be number TWO, Kansas City? Number two behind CLEVELAND!

Does that get your blood boiling just a bit?

Are you seeing Chiefs RED?

GOOD!

Don't forget this Friday, September 8th, is RED FRIDAY in Kansas City! Wear red and suppor the Chiefs. Let's show the world that we're just a little ahead of number TWO!
