Pollstar named Kansas City's Sprint Center as one of 2009's best concert venues. The arena was number five in the U.S., and number 16 in the world. Nice going: for a relatively new venue (the Sprint Center opened in October of 2007), this is quite an honor.
As anyone who's attended a concert at the Sprint Center can attest, it's a pretty nice venue. Good sound, nice sight lines, and the Quik Trip with the dollar fountain drinks is a nice touch for the budget-conscious, as well.
According to Pollstar:
• Nine of the top 10 North American concert tours have visited or are scheduled to visit Sprint Center in 2010.• Sprint Center hosted (2009) or will host (in 2010) 18 of the top 20 North American tours including Elton John and Billy Joel, Britney Spears, AC/DC, Kenny Chesney, Jonas Brothers, Dave Matthews Band and Fleetwood Mac.
• The Eagles concert on March 28, 2009, was the arena's highest grossing one-event concert to date.
Upcoming events at the venue include WWE's Smackdown, Taylor Swift, and AC/DC, as well as the NCAA women's basketball finals.

Great list. I have been there a few times to see a concert and there are very few bad seats. Came across this list for 2010 best venues http://www.answerblip.com/top-...
"spring center", is what i called it after the boss tore the roof off in 2008, turning it into a convertible. -djg
Too bad it costs an arm and a leg to go to anything there, and the people running the concessions are borderline retarded so if you want anything to drink you'll miss 25 minutes of whatever it is you're watching.
And let's not even get started on how bad the concerts are that come here. Miley Cyrus? Cher? Kiss?
