T-Mobile Center, Kansas City

The T-Mobile Center, formerly known as the Sprint Center, is a premier multi-purpose arena located in downtown Kansas City. Situated at the intersection of 14th Street and Grand Boulevard, it stands on the east side of the bustling Power & Light District. This arena has taken over as the city's primary indoor venue, a title previously held by the Kemper Arena, which was built in 1974 in the West Bottoms neighborhood. Notably, Garth Brooks performed nine sold-out shows during the venue’s opening. The arena officially opened its doors on October 10, 2007, with a concert by Elton John.

The T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, owned by the city, was designed by Populous and 360 Architecture, with construction managed by M.A. Mortenson Company. Built between 2005 and 2007, its exterior features 13,000 square meters of double-insulated glass and 5,000 square meters of aluminum panels. The arena seats over 19,000, and includes 72 suites, a 360-degree LED screen, and an art piece called The Moons by Chris Doyle. It is also connected to the College Basketball Experience and the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame.

In April 2020, following the merger between Sprint Corporation and T-Mobile US, the arena was renamed T-Mobile Center, with the new name taking effect on July 9, 2020. Along with the rebranding, several enhancements were introduced, including a dedicated T-Mobile customer entrance, wireless charging stations, comprehensive T-Mobile 5G coverage, and a striking "Heart KC" monument outside the venue, reinforcing its role as a modern landmark in Kansas City's vibrant downtown.
