Sprint Center Opening

2007-10-12T04:54:00.000-07:00

I haven't figured out the purpose of this circular graphic dudad except for eye catching art.

The streets are blocked off by these posts that rise out of the ground. They couldn't put them where the barricade is because of 2 manholes that were already in the street before the center was built. Sometimes these manholes can be huge underground. That may be why they didn't offset the posts.

Here is the opening ceremony with the Mayor speaking. Click on the photo to enlarge.
