Sports & Recreation
Discover championship sports and unforgettable Independence experiences.
Welcome to Independence, home of Cable Dahmer Arena — a premier live entertainment venue hosting an exciting lineup of events year-round. The arena is home to the Kansas City Mavericks, ECHL affiliate of the Seattle Kraken, and the Kansas City Comets of the Major Arena Soccer League. Its intimate setting and convenient location near downtown Kansas City — surrounded by dining, retail, and lodging — make it a favorite for concerts, sporting events, and community experiences. During the winter months, Independence Community Ice offers public skating opportunities, adding even more activity to the venue.
Just minutes away is the iconic Truman Sports Complex, where the Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas City Royals play side-by-side — and where fans experience some of the best tailgating in the country. When you stay in Independence, you’re also next door to Kansas City, a city rapidly earning the title of Soccer Capital of America, thanks to teams like Sporting KC and KC Current.
For golf enthusiasts, Independence features two distinct public courses. Drumm Farm Golf Club showcases scenic Midwest terrain with rolling hills and wetlands, while WinterStone Golf Course offers dramatic elevation changes and lush landscapes reminiscent of the Missouri Ozarks — providing two exceptional options for players of all skill levels.
