I don't think parking will be a problem but it will be interesting to see where a majority will decide to park. Will a lot of people use the existing t mobile center garages since they are familiar with them? That's only a .5 mile walk. Will a majority just go to random $10 lots between Oak and 71 h...

I wonder if the plan is a week before vote the Chiefs release their plans and the marketing campaign makes the vote all about the Chiefs and keeping them in Jackson County. I feel like that would sway more people than the Royals stadium.

Random question, what was there before the glass KC Star building? Was it just an empty lot?

I don't really know a lot about this area but I wonder what's the longest stadium lease you could get a team to commit to. It would be great if we could do a 50 year lease with a scheduled $400 million renovation at the 25 year mark. That way we don't run into a situation like the Atlanta Braves whe...

I attend rez downtown. I do kind of wish they would've kept using their first building (the Grand Avenue Temple on 9th and Grand), but since they didn't control the building, I think they were having issues with modernizing it(I don't know the full story on that so i could be wrong). Obviously I am ...

More info on the throwback bar going into Westport. http://www.kansascity.com/news/business ... 94002.html I wonder if it will have the same success as Updown in the Crossroads.
