They each plant a large base of their alumni in one metropolitan area -- Kansas City -- Fans exchange dirty looks at not only athletic events but, grocery stores, coffee shops and local retailers are all fair game . It is a daily rivalry, unlike almost any in the country, and it stretches far beyond the realm of athletics. Hell, both even claim ownership of Kansas City. It's in Missouri! It's got "Kansas" right there in the title!

Specifically....... Sprint Center/College Basketball Experience The placement of our moment meets people in the mindset of ready to receive and experience college basketball. They may either be going to the museum or an event at the sprint center.

Not only does it celebrate college basketball and the excitement of rivalries but its content focuses specifically on KU vs MU. Even those who may not automatically choose a side in this rivalry will appreciate the significance of the history and culture if they are a KC native.
