Comets May be Latest (and Last) to Flee Kemper

April 2005 Prediction: The Comets are done (if not for good, at least at Kemper).

Their best player, Dino Delevski, all but announced in the Star this week that he's looking to jump to the outdoor game (with the MLS or to Europe).

The MISL itself is a mess. The Comets have been inflating attendance numbers like crazy all year. Last night's game drew what appeared to be about 2,500 to Kemper, but the announced figure was closer to 4,500.

The Outlaws had a nasty habit of this same practice....and look where that got them.

It's almost as if they have Diebold counting the crowds. Which may not be entirely a stretch........after all, Diebold does have a local office in Lenexa.

With the Outlaws gone, the Knights floating around somewhere in JoCo, the Comets will be the next out. This will leave only the announced Arena Football League team as Kemper's lone, sports tenant. Head over to the site now and name the team ("Subsidies" was submitted on behalf of KC Media as a tribute to the new arena).
