UMKC Partners With Downtown Kansas City Council

UMKC is continuing its longtime partnership with the Downtown Kansas City Council, being represented in Friday's exhibition at the lobby of the Grand Ballroom of the Convention Center, as well as teaming up for a Group Night at the January 3 men's basketball game against South Dakota State at Municipal Auditorium.
The University as a whole is involved with the Downtown Council and will be representing at the annual luncheon, with more than 1,000 business leaders from the community in attendance. UMKC is sharing the story of the athletics program - and the university.
The game on Thursday, January 3 against South Dakota State will start at 7:05 p.m., and is one of three games the men's basketball team is playing downtown at Municipal Auditorium (also Dec. 19 vs. Iowa State and Jan. 5 vs. North Dakota State). The partnership for the contest gives fans an opportunity to get a ticket, hot dog, and beer or soda for only $15. Fans can also get just a ticket for $5. Contact the UMKC ticket office at 816-235-2572, or get the deal online at UMKCKangaroos.com/tickets, with the promotion code "Downtown" to get it in advance.
The Downtown Council is a longtime partner of UMKC, as both organizations share a dedication to supporting and revitalizing the urban core, including Downtown. In recent months, the Council has been a strong and vocal supporter of UMKC's efforts to create a Downtown Campus for the Arts, a project that would greatly enhance both UMKC arts programs, and the university as a whole, while generating significant economic development opportunities.
