Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Well, rooting for the no vote now. I will actually go out of my way now to help campaign against because of Cordish & their fans, I won't support an ideal from people who use right wing language & hate that are allowed to talk like that on here due to "insider info." Been fun, I'l...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

There is more to life than making a buck. We were shown plans about it being a true soccer pub and it turned out to be a nightclub/entertainment venue, Sporting KC in name only at the time but now current ownership thinks they can get that crowd to come to the Legends, ha. And who knows, maybe that ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Listen, as someone who was involved in the process starting many years ago, I know what mattered to FIFA. That's what we're talking about here in the thread, not the overall popularity of soccer in this city. You can't do it without the fans showing up & understanding the culture. Don't dispara...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Enzo Di Pede has more to do with soccer popularity in Kansas City than the P&L District. Listen, as someone who was involved in the process starting many years ago, I know what mattered to FIFA. That's what we're talking about here in the thread, not the overall popularity of soccer in this cit...

Feel like it's important to note that the United States does not have an official language for a reason.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

It's the right choice but the worry now has gotta be that they've killed all the goodwill & hype going into it by flip flopping all this time & never following their own deadlines.

Re: GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What has happened to the #1 draft pick? The same thing that happens with most #1 draft picks... You can't be talking about the Chiefs here, they haven't had a 1st or early 2nd round "miss" in over a decade. Sometimes it takes a year for body & system fit, and that's why you draft a yo...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Not a single team is moving to Nashville at all. How many times must it be said that they want the expansion money that Nashville will bring & not a single other MLB team would approve a move that would lose them that huge payday.

I see it come up all the time on Twitter.

All that work we've done is going to be undone by the University of Kansas football team playing in Kansas City, Missouri. It's going to break everyone's mind. :lol:

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Yeah, it's going to be hard to sell anything to the public after the way the Royals have acted with the constant flip flopping & never following their own deadlines for any site the stadium could go on.

Re: Sporting Kansas City

They had nowhere else to go. It was lose the team or build there.

They are trying with the cheaper U-Pass system but the fact there are fewer young people driving is really going to ultimately kill that location.

Re: World Cup 2026 at Arrowhead?

https://www.sportingkc.com/news/statement-from-principal-owner-michael-illig At least it's done. Try to salvage what there. As much as we butted heads on this and I can't stand the social justice element of this particular fanbase, I have to admit that firing him was probably the right move. I’ve b...

Re: OFFICIAL - Prairiefire

I heard a rumor that Mahomes asked how steady the CWS was in Omaha & I thought that idea silly at the time. I still say there is zero way they'd ever let it walk but who knows the pull of 15. The NCAA is contractually bound to Omaha til at least 2035. That was the trade off to Omaha building a ...

I only take it personally when it's directed at me. I also wasn't assuming your comment was directed at me but you said "'I'm so disappointed too that only one side of the argument keeps jumping in and being negative towards people". That's bullshit, so I said what I said. People would ha...

The anti-Crossroads people are acting no different than suburban NIMBY's. Not my area! Go elsewhere! Even though it's ultimately the *best* option for the city downtown.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I don't like the storefronts on Grand being demolished but I still think it's the best site. Actual proposal (seriously...), Let's just relocate those storefronts (at least save the architectural facades) and move them to ANY of these surface parking lots within a 2-3 block radius from the stadium....
