Kansas City Group Schedules Thursday Morning Press Conference

From the AP:

Mario Lemieux and other members of the Pittsburgh Penguins' ownership group were meeting with Kansas City officials and representatives of the Sprint Center on Wednesday.

Michael Roth, a spokesman for Los Angeles-based Anschutz Entertainment Group, which will operate the arena, issued a statement Wednesday afternoon confirming that "meetings are scheduled with the ownership group of the Pittsburgh Penguins and our organization."

Company officials declined to comment further. A news conference was scheduled for Thursday morning in Kansas City.

Not sure we should expect any announcement at that press conference, as Lemieux is also expected to meet with Pennsylvania officials, including Governor Ed Rendell, tomorrow afternoon.
