Off-field moves
In February 2011, the Kansas Magic franchise was announced to begin play with an April 30 exhibition game against the Illinois Piasa at the Kansas Expocentre's Landon Arena in Topeka, Kansas. The team was announced without a signed arena lease as both the franchise and venue wanted to judge response to the exhibition game. When the team began regular play in November 2011, it was instead based out of the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, Kansas.
The team's dance team, under the direction of Karen Burec, was known as the Magic Jeanies.
