November 2nd Weekend Preview

Well, this weekend is a big one for home openers for Kansas City teams. The Mavericks, Comets and UMKC Kangaroos all have their first home games of the season. So if you want to get out this weekend and see a sporting event you have no excuse.
The Comets will be looking for a MISL victory to kick off the home schedule at the Independence Events Center. They will be taking on interstate rival Wichita Wings at 7:35 this friday. The first 3,000 fans will receive a 2012‐2013 schedule magnet.
On Saturday afternoon the Power and Light District is hosting the Fall 14th Street Wine Walk from 3PM-6PM. Enjoy a tasting of six premium wines paired with six delicious small plates at Maker's Mark Bourbon House & Lounge, Bar Louie, Bristol Seafood Grill, The Kill Devil Club, Drunken Fish Sushi Restaurant & Lounge, & The Garment District Boutique. A limited number of tickets are available – so get yours today. Click here fore more Info
The home opener weekend continues at the Independence Events Center on Saturday, when the CHL’s Missouri Mavericks take on another team from Wichita, the Thunder at 7:05. Early arriving fans will receive a black cowbell. A few tickets remain for the game so act fast if you want to attend the game.
If basketball is your game then you are also in luck. The UMKC Kangaroos will be hosting the Ottawa University Braves in a preseason exhibition game at the Swinney Recreation Center at 7:05.
If you are into movies, Flight, The Man with the Iron Fists and Wreck-It Ralph all open this weekend. I have seen an advanced preview of Wreck-It Ralph and it is a fun movie for both the kids and the adults. So if you want to make a day of it with your family (and have the money to do it). I suggest hitting the local cineplex in the afternoon and then catching a game that night.
Also, the Sprint Center is having a contest. Upload photos of  your favorite Sprint Center moment to win four tickets to one event of your choice in 2013. Click here for more information.
That is all for now. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
