Loser: The citizens of Kansas City, who lost a cheerleader, civic leader, and guy who helped make our ol' town a better place to live--Kevin Gray, head of the Greater Kansas City Sports Commission & Foundation.
Winner: The citizens of Kansas City, who witnessed another top-flight sports venue open in our fair city. LiveStrong Park opened last week and hosted the U.S. national team this week. The addition of LiveStrong gives Kansas City five premier sports venues--a made-for-soccer stadium,a fan-friendly racetrack (Kansas Speedway), a downtown arena complete with College Basketball Experience, and the first dual-purpose stadium complex which is home to our professional franchises, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Kansas City Royals.
Loser: Vancouver fans--or, at least that small portion of fans who used the Canucks' game seven loss in the Stanley Cup as an excuse to riot in one of the prettiest cities in North America.
Winner: Dallas fans. Approximately 250,000 fans turned out to say "thank you" to the NBA champion Dallas Mavericks.
