Toto: we’ll meet in Kansas
Kansas City made a move towards restoring its former glory as a premier meeting place with the unveiling of a $3.8 million face-lift at Municipal Auditorium.
The move included 9,500 new upholstered seats, new lighting and fixing a leaky ceiling, according to The Kansas City Star.
“The city’s effort to fix its ailing convention business is now in its fourth decade,” the newspaper said.
Briefly, in 1936, the Municipal Auditorium was the second-largest convention hall in the US, seating more than 13,000.
The move is part of a $235 million makeover with new meeting rooms and technology upgrades. A 46,500 square foot ballroom breaks ground this spring.
