KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI
DECEMBER 3rd - 5th, 2010

Kansas City is the perfect choice for groups of all sizes. As the “Heart of America,” this great city charms visitors with its warm-hearted, small-town graciousness. The Kansas City Convention Center, located in the middle of downtown KC, is the perfect place for a cheer and dance competition. Countless dining and entertainment options are just blocks away in the always-buzzing Power and Light District, and nearly 2,000 hotel rooms surround this newly renovated property.

GETTING HERE
The Kansas City International Airport (KCI) makes flying into and out of Kansas City a breeze.  The airport's unique design is the optimal setting for group travel with airline check-in, passenger gates, baggage claim, and ground transportation all on the same level.

COMPETITION FACILITY 
The 2010 American Spectacular will be held in the newest part of the Kansas City Municipal Auditorium Arena This awesome facility takes up nearly 8 city blocks in downtown Kansas City and is the perfect place for a cheer and dance competition. 

COMPETITION AMENITIES
Upon arriving at the convention center, your first stop will be Championship Check-In, where your Championship Ambassador will provide you with event credentials, final paperwork and answer any questions you may have. Then, one hour before your performance time, you'll be directed to the spacious Warm-Up Area, where you'll be granted access to a stretching station, a 70-foot spring tumble strip and a full-size floor for practice. Next, you'll take center stage in the Performance Hall, which will feature an elevated performance stage or elevated spectator seating, state-of-the-art production elements and digitally-integrated sound so you can rock the house! Finally, after exiting the stage, your team will be personally escorted to a Private Replay Booth, where they can view their award-winning routine and receive thier National Championship commemorative gifts.

EXCITING PRODUCTION LEVEL
At every American Championships Event, we combine the elements of light, sound and non-stop action to create a fantastic competition atmosphere.  Our computer-integrated digital sound fills the arena while our exciting light show keeps the action moving between teams.  Event staff members throw out thousands of sets of Mardi Gras beads while streamer cannons explode during our Awards Ceremonies.  We roll out the red carpet - literally - when your teams come forward to accept what are considered by most to be the largest and nicest trophies in the industry.  At the American Championships we produce only high energy, exciting events!
