I got a glimpse Sunday of what I hope is in Wichita’s future.
I went to the Springsteen concert in Kansas City. And as excited as I was to see The Boss for the first time, I was almost as excited to step inside the Sprint Center for the first time and to see everything that was around it.
The Sprint Center was pretty incredible. I didn’t really have any complaints, although the seats seemed a little crammed and the sound could have been better. My favorite part of the arena was the QT inside. It was pretty nice to get drinks for a buck when the same size was three times (or more) the price at the concession stand next door.
We also spent considerable time in the Power & Light District before the concert. We walked there from our hotel (about four or five blocks) and had dinner at a neat Irish restaurant. We hit several places in the district, my favorite being Lucky Strike Lanes. I’ve not seen a bowling alley like it before.
I drive by Intrust Bank Arena every day on my way to work. The progress of the building is amazing. I hope the rest of the area will follow.
