Kansas City Comets, Independence

Silverstein Eye Centers Arena serves to bring the community together, hosting everything from national concert tours to youth hockey leagues within its walls. Such stars as Kelly Clarkson have graced the stage within the 5,800-seat arena, also home to local sports teams such as the ECHL's Kansas City Mavericks and the Major Arena Soccer League's Kansas City Comets. Additionally, a community rink lets residents and nonresidents alike hit the ice for programs ranging from open-skating sessions and lessons to private rentals.
