Summary

Kansas City fancies itself America's best college basketball town but we learn once again, nothing is further from the truth.  With KU out of the Sweet 16, you can get into the games here Friday night for a song.  In New York and Vegas, the cheapest ticket to a game is TEN TIMES the price in KC.  This is embarrassing.  Will Kansas Citians shun World Cup tickets the same way if team USA isn't here?    We give our Thursday night predictions for the Sweet 16 including Kansas State and Michigan State.    The CEO of TikTok is getting grilled on Capitol Hill Thursday but tracking your information is the least of our worries.  The Chinese are using this platform to reach young American children and teach them to support the Democrats.    Kyrsten Sinema has switched from being a Democrat to Independent for her next election in Arizona and one of the reasons is too much Jell-O.  You have to hear this story.    And the Kelce brothers are doing a live podcast at the Music Hall next month, we have the details.

They are calling it March sadness in Kansas City, and it is truly the case as apparently nobody is headed to T-Mobile Center this weekend

0:22.5

to watch the Sweet 16 and the Elite 8 games, which will send someone to the final four. Ticket prices

0:28.7

have plummeted. There are going to be empty seats, and this could be embarrassing for Kansas City.

0:34.1

Local officials, like Kathy Nelson at the Sports Sports Commission will tell you that $14 million

0:38.0

worth of revenue will be generated this weekend in and around T-Mobile Center in downtown

0:43.5

Kansas City. We find that hard to believe if locals don't show up. We have nice teams here,

0:49.2

but they're from a long ways away, and they will certainly travel and sell out their allotments,

0:53.8

which isn't very big

0:55.2

for college basketball teams in this round. Generally speaking, tickets get hotter and hotter because

1:00.4

of the local venue, because there is either a local team playing that drives ticket prices up and

1:05.2

sells out arenas, or they're in a massive or fun location for this round, as is the case with Madison Square Garden in New York or Las Vegas, Nevada.

1:14.1

So we have two major venues this weekend.

1:18.7

As I just mentioned, they're Las Vegas and New York, where ticket prices have skyrocketed because of the cities they're in.

1:24.4

And we have two medium-sized markets of which Kansas City is the biggest of

1:29.4

the two. Kansas City is bigger than Louisville, where the other regional finals will be. But

1:35.1

Kansas City is really, really struggling. And it drives home a point that I've said forever. We

1:39.1

fancy ourselves with the basketball coaches, Hall of Fame and all this stuff downtown as being a

1:45.7

college basketball centric community. And we are not. We are a major league city. And the Kansas

1:52.5

City Chiefs winning two Super Bowls in the last four years has only made that more clear for

1:57.8

anyone. Literally, I believe more people will go see the NFL. Well, we know there will be more

2:04.4

people go see the NFL draft in April than we'll go to T-Mobile Center to watch college
