There’s an interesting benefit coming for Wichita from the relocation of the Seattle Supersonics to Oklahoma City.
The Sonics will chew up 41 previously uncommitted dates at the Ford Center, Oklahoma City’s soon-to-be-renovated arena.
What that means to Wichita is this: SMG, a Philadelphia-based arena manager, manages both arenas. Entertainment events that would have played the Ford sans NBA basketball, said SMG spokeswoman Beth King, are now leading candidates to land in Wichita.
