Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Which is nothing that’s not public and the rest is just your opinion but said as if you have some kind of sinister inside information. Maybe add a few “in my opinion” or “I believe” to your statements because you like to say things thinly veiled on this idea you have special access to information w...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Ftr, we can go through your posts where you confirmed it.

I'm very confident I know conversations happened which caused things to change with the people I said.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

It doesn't make sense to enough people, though. So best to just move on unless you've really got the time and energy to engage and commit to doing things differently. On top of the botched roll out, the rug being pulled out at the last minute didn't help -- not to mention skeezy things like offerin...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

From one glorious view of I70 to another glorious view of I70. We have to quit worrying about outfield views. It's so unimportant. Case in point royals wanted a stadium with at&t building as the backdrop. So lucky they aren't being this vein. This is one of your worst opinions you’ve consistent...

Re: Misc Crossroads News

Because the Star Printing Press is still on the mind of folks, I was told that it was recently considered a contender for a Target. That idea is more likely than not dead at this point. If people would like for it to be kept, I think you should demolish the southern half and keep the northern glass...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

The development history of the Crossroads tells another story. Lots of adaptive reuse. (Relatively) lots of new multifamily construction. Hot office submarket (pre-COVID). Best restaurants in the city. One of the country's top hotels (which is adaptive reuse). Lively brewery/distillery scene. Argua...

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still a big believer in rethinking how the stadium is built. I worry that the stadium will look dumb shortly after it's finished. It's not about multipurpose sports anymore, but activating all year long and during the season for different price points. If we're going to subsidize it, we need des...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I’m not opposed to East Village. I’d like for the stadium to go there. I’ve said for a while now, but the issues with it make me think it’ll be a heavier lift than the Crossroads site. If the team, and city, can get something done, then do it. Sorry, I didn't mean to go at you. I was just replying ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

East Village is worse than Crossroads because you’re evicting residents of two affordable housing buildings, need to vacate many more streets, and have to contend with the Feds. If you think KCTenants was pissed about crossroads, you should see them if East Village was brought up. The feds being bi...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

The bus system and transit is a whole nother bunch of bananas. There are fed laws and fair free. I continue to think the best solution is give the chiefs TSC and the royals go to east village with an actual neighborhood built around. Let's call that the mythical 1 billion they were going to invest b...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

You know I love you grid, but I think you don't understand how horrific this vote was locally. They didn't reach out to anyone good at this. I'm confident we could pass a tax if the right people are involved. They just sucked. I get that. But I also think a lot of damage was done building up a no v...

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Royals are whooping Houston’s ass in the last game of this series. Bottom of the 1st: 9 runs. And how many people are there? I had a conversation with someone here I won't name, but they can if they want. What if you could just walk in to a game? Sit at a bar and watch over lunch. It's time to reth...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Maybe people here are too young but the Sprint center passed by saying fuck STL.

I don't know why they ran an incompetent campaign, but it's not my fault.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

The chiefs have been the heart of kc for decades and now Kansas wants to spend their gambling revenue to take away another team from Missouri.

Do you want to see Kansas take away our team or keep them here with no additional tax?

These people are fucking idiots. You have to make enemies.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I agree the chiefs aren't leaving, but they need to figure their shit out. My bad advice comment is mostly about the election campaign. My thoughts on the switch to ec and the bridge to p&l and the bad roll out are clear so I don't think it helps to continue that discussion. I think the interven...
