What was the feeling by most Big 12 fans when they decided to keep the championship in KC?Originally posted by TwoJay:
The Sprint Center is downtown, so any downtown KC hotel is walking distance. My favorite is The President Hotel (Hilton property I think). The largest is a Marriott.
There is an entertainment area (known as the 'Power & Light District') adjacent to the Sprint Center, which is hopping with activity during the tournament. It is the place to be.
A nice area just south of downtown is Crown Center (a Hallmark area) that has some nice hotels as well (Westin, Hyatt), that is walkable, but I would think they would have shuttles running (but I'm not sure).
Obviously KU fans loved it. They had it in Dallas for a few years andOriginally posted by Vernon:

Kansas City really makes the most sense for the basketball tournament, particularly before Missouri left the Big XII. At this point I kind of hate giving the state of Missouri the tax dollars (and I live i Missouri). But it still is nearest to the programs (other than Oklahoma State) that traditionally care the most about hoops in this league (KU, KSU, ISU). WVU certainly falls in that category now.Originally posted by Vernon:
