Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Hmmm. Decisions, decisions. I regret having to leave this forum. A few of the discussions have been educational and supportive; thank you to everyone with true expertise and facts, and your willingness to share. I could block some folks or ignore some discussions, or lurk, but, well, let's go out w...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

You don't get it, she alienated half the population as soon as she opened. She's had the no Trump-ware, no MAGA bullshit since day one and somehow has still thrived and expanded. In a years time, she will still be around, but there still won't be a ballpark in the Crossroads. Put the Royals back in...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Her business model is simplistic. Sell the minimum amount of food required legally to obtain liquor license. Sell bullshit fancy sounding cocktails with a 5000% profit margin (don't forget the dash of biters). Allow outside food to avoid needing any kind of kitchen or kitchen staff. Keep everything...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I think the save the crossroads did more damage than anything. You already had to overcome the suburban vote so once everyone latched onto "destruction of the crossroads", it was all over. East Village would have won. East Village campaign would have been about creating something, while t...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

From Q: "The people of Kansas City and Jackson County love the Chiefs and the Royals. Today, they rejected plans and processes they found inadequate." Can't say I disagree. Not even sure EV would pass now without a major flip of the script, but think it would have if they had stuck with it...

Re: T-Mobile Center (formerly Sprint Center)

Re: Downtown Mission/ The Gateway

Mission Gateway has its incentive package canceled by the city and I think they’re still in the court process now. As for Roe and SMP, do you mean Metcalf? Roe/Johnson Drive has a few ramps, but nothing major. Yes, not really cloverleafs. I think it's mostly due to some utilities/infra in the area ...

Tie in polling. https://www.kshb.com/news/local-news/stadium-plan/kshb-41-news-obtains-poll-results-showing-tight-race-in-stadium-sales-tax I have a feeling that if it passes, it'll be narrow.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I'll go to my grave that the EV location could have been built out just like EC is proposed and it would have fed the P&L. I've seen people walk a mile to get to a KC Current NWSL game, you can't tell me they wouldn't walk to EV to/from a game. It's water under the bridge at this point. Someday...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
