Yesterday on KMBC-TV's website there was an article speaking of how the mayor of Kansas City has just approved plans for a new downtown arena slated to open in 2007 provided there are no hold-ups. Part of the article deals with who would be prospective tenants in the new "Sprint Center", and reads as follows:
Philip Anschutz, the intensely private Denver billionaire who owns part of the Los Angeles Lakers and several teams in Major League Soccer, will invest $50 million to help build a new downtown arena, Barnes said. The Los Angeles-based Anschutz Entertainment Group has also promised to use its contacts within the NBA and NHL to lure a franchise from one of the leagues to Kansas City to act as the arena's major tenant, said company vice president Timothy Leiweke.
