According to The Kansas City Business Journal and local news reports (see links below), Kemper Arena is to be razed and replaced with an "Agricultural Events Center." Well, okay, I guess. But it brings up questions:
First, can we, as a city, afford it? (The bad news here? It's estimated to cost $50 million. The good news? The Kemper family is behind the proposal).
Second, do you suppose Moshe Safdie is busy? And does he do "Agricultural Events Centers"?
Finally, could we make sure this next one, if it has a roof, doesn't collapse? Ever?
