Brenda Tinnen is not the type of woman to take “no” for an answer. Her career in entertainment started on her mother’s lap, helping out in the old Kansas City A’s ticket office. From there, she worked her way from the Kemper Arena, to Minneapolis, Phoenix, and Los Angeles, leading arenas and sports franchises and finding incredible success in what was then a male-driven industry. The KC native finally found her way back to the motherland as the driving force behind the world-renowned Sprint (T-Mobile) Center. Come along for her incredible ride!   See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

Brenda Tinnen: The Driving Force behind the T-Mobile (Sprint) Center

“There’s just something about Kansas City.”™ It may be the most-heard phrase from those who are from here, those who have come here, &amp; those who have chosen to stay. It’s a sense of pride, of camaraderie, of community and comfort. A sense of small-town, back-patio warmth brimming with growth, innovation and potential. A sense of zero degrees of separation in a city of champions.

For each of us, that “something” is a story crafted through years of experiences, big and small, that have planted the Heart of America so deeply in our own.

Join legendary Kansas City sports broadcaster Frank Boal each week for deep, down-to-earth conversations with some of this town’s most legendary residents, both natives and transplants, and hear what it is about Kansas City that just keeps calling them home.
