HEY- The Taxpayers Help Build ALL Of Sprint Arena

I was going to go down to the fancy-assed ribbon cutting and all this morning- until I read our late-delivered STAR and found out many of the areas in the new taxpayer-subsidized arena will be off-limits to the tour.

Specifically- taxpayers won't get to tour the new press box- the locker and dressing rooms for a phantom pro sports team- nor the luxury suites that the management company says we have no business knowing who rents.

Neither will the new basketball hall of fame be open as well as the over-hyped entertainment district.

In other words- why go at all?

I wish nothing but success for the new- barely-bigger-than-Kemper arena- but I still think and will continue to do so- what a bill of goods we taxpayers were sold.

Hell at least Robert Preston in "The Music Man" was a more entertaining snake-oil salesman...
