Jared Allen Sports Arena & Grill Set to Open

Jared Allen (ESPN)That’s right; Jared Allen — aka the One Man Gang, aka Kansas City‘s favorite son — is opening a sports bar. I don’t care what the Kansas City Star says, this is an exteremly strong indicator that he plans on sticking around for the long term, and end up a career Chief. Here’s more about Jared Allen Sports Arena & Grill:

Defensive end and National Football League sack leader Jared Allen plans to be connected to Kansas City for the long term.

Maybe not through the Chiefs — his contract is up at the end of February, though the team may slap the franchise tag to retain him — but at least through his personal ties here and a new 11,000-square-foot sports bar west of downtown that will bear his name.

Jared Allen Sports Arena & Grill is scheduled to open March 7 at 700 Southwest Blvd., with 17 42-inch plasma TVs, a game room, a dance club, an outdoor rooftop deck and a street-level patio.

I can’t wait to hit up the joint myself! Sounds like a hit.

Nice!, discovered your webpage on Yahoo!.Happy I finally tested it out. Not sure if its my Chrome browser,but sometimes when I visit your site, the fonts are really small? However, love your site and will check back.See Ya

Jared Allen u the best d end i ever seen play football and will u sill play 4 the chiefs

how old do u got 2 b 2 come in

I am a fan and iam only 14 and i want 2 know how much your ticket costs

Jared Does NOT own this bar. He is allowing borrowing of his name. Stay away from the cook in the back B.H !

Anything that would secure a relationship with Jared Allen and the Kansas City area would be great!  He has had a tremendous impact on the Chiefs and the fans.  Thanks Jared!

I think Jared is the best thing that has happend to the KC Chiefs in a long time. They would be crazy to let him go.....

Tony Richardson was interviewed on 810 sports several weeks ago and said that if he had it his way, he would come back and play for the Chiefs for 1 or 2 seasons and then move to the front office.  He has always said that he wanted to work for the Chiefs in some capacity after he finished playing.

Lol, well, it is a bit scary to think that a previous alcoholic will be owning his own sports bar, but it's not like he's going to be there every day, hell, he may not even be in Kansas City every day, we're not sure of anything yet. And besides, his friend Boomer Grigsby can keep track of the place and keep him from doing anything stupid, seeing as how he's probably going to get cut :) Even though noone likes to think of that possibility.. It could happen, especially if we land Owen Schmitt, (And Tony Richardson is a free agent!) I wonder if he'd like to come back to KC for a year, I'd sure love to have him back.

Am I the only one that finds the prospect of Jared Allen having his own bar just a little worrisome?
