April 26 Weekend Preview

Well, this week is pretty light on the movie front but, next week starts the summer movie season with the release of Iron Man 3. This week you will have to settle for Pain & Gain. Based on a true story, "Pain & Gain" follows a group of bodybuilders who engaged in a campaign of kidnapping, extortion and murder in Florida. First told in an article from the "Miami New Times," "Pain and Gain" is directed by Michael Bay and stars Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

The Mavericks’ season ended this past week but you have one last chance to spend some time with the team. The team is hosting a Season Celebration Party this Thursday, April 25 from 5-8 p.m. at Independence Events Center. Mavericks’ players and coaches will be on hand starting at 6 p.m. to sign autographs and say goodbye to the fans before the team separates for the off-season.  Fans can enter through the main (east) entrance of the building starting at 5 p.m.
The Mavericks will have a silent auction with jerseys and other memorabilia as well as a sale at the Top Shelf Team Store.
Also on Thursday the NFL will be hosting its annual draft so head to your favorite watering hole and see who the Chiefs take with the first overall pick.
Even though the Comets’ and Mavericks’ seasons are over there is only one arena team in action for a while. That team is the Kansas City Renegades and they are in action this weekend at Kemper Arena. The good guys take on the Salina Bombers at 7:05 pm. It is also the first ever Kemper Kids Day. One child’s admission is FREE for each paying adult! So in a family of four, both kids get in absolutely free.
Tickets will be available at the box office on game day or on our tickets page. Just request the number of adult tickets you need to buy and then they’ll add that number of kids tickets at the will call window on game day.
Also, Local rock cover band Public Safety Issue will play a tailgate concert.
The band starts at 4:30 in the Kemper parking lot. BYO-beer, grill, and food, and enjoy as Public Safety Issue rocks the, er, parking lot! Forecast: 68 degrees!
