The end of the sewer line for unincorporated Sedgwick County is the Kansas Coliseum. Home to two professional sports teams, the 10,000-seat events arena hosts concerts, exhibitions and livestock shows. A 25,000-seat outdoor amphitheater expansion is now being considered. In addition, a proposal is in effect for a nearby residential development.
