Best Website For KC Events?

Any ideas on what is the best and most comprehensive website for KC events? Events that would include classical music, jazz, any music, plays, musicals, festivals etc..... Have some friends coming in town and it would be nice to have a comprehensive website so I do not have to go to every venue I kn...

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)

Back to political nonsense posts, too bad. I'm quite sure PD can withstand and even understand why those comments were being made. Nobody hates bad cops worse than gold cops. Violence on the Plaza is a very real issue that impacts the health of the Plaza specifically, the neighborhood around it and...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

They should hire a political advisor that’s worked with a famous democrat so they don’t instantly become a target like what happened last time. “Oh they hired a guy who worked for Desantis, he must be evil I don’t like it blah blah”. Maybe just avoid the political affiliations all together. Politic...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Even if both East Village and East Crossroads are off the table, for whatever reason, there are still downtown sites that are better than both of those IMO. Whether the Royals want to explore those, I don't know, but I also don't know why East Crossroads would be off the table. The Royals need to h...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Would it follow the East and South or would it follow Central? Could those precincts narrowly lost flip to be in-favor? Would a KCMO-only vote lead to higher turnout in the central core and outweigh votes elsewhere? Does anyone really believe that downtown and midtown residents are against the conc...

You know I thought about that a while back. Access and isolation would be the problem but I think the site could be big enough - for the stadium and nothing more.

Re: FBI Campus

FBI moving to the northland per cityscene Was up at KCI today. Noticed the new FBI building. Looks like another government fortress. It looked up and running or about to be (Google Maps still lists the DT location as FBI HQ). Any idea what will become of the current FBI offices downtown? That area ...

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)

I wonder if the continued security issues at the Plaza are giving any pause to the Dallas firm that is buying the shopping center? It's a pretty big issue as it impacts the public's confidence in their own security and hence patronage. Especially at night. They have to be wondering how they can cont...

Slowly being enclosed. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53634297697_200e0d628e_h.jpg Great picture showing the relative scale of this project. Pretty substantial in terms of the area it covers and height. Hope it doesn't stay sealed for long and they finish or sell to someone that can. Perpetual...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

They can and they most likely will if they cannot get a favorable deal here where they believe they can generate the revenues to sustain a quality product. You must not be a Royals fan. Glass gave fuck all about sustaining a quality product and he turned a $150m investment into $1B. He could have a...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Could they use the KCMO "Arena Tax" to pay a stadium? The cost of TMobile Center was 270 million in 2007. That's 410 million today adjusted for inflation. Still less than half of what it would cost to build a stadium plus I suspect that tax is still being used to pay off the construction ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Honest to God, I’m getting annoyed at everyone saying the Royals are going to Nashville or Salt Lake City. Now we’re talking about potentially Oakland (a city that doesn’t give a shit about the A’s)? Give it a rest. Seriously. The Royals are not leaving the KC Metro. Anyone saying they’re leaving c...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

And the first speculation of the departure of one of the teams is already hitting national news with the Dallas Mayor making statements about Dallas going after the Chiefs for a second NFL team in the Dallas area.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I agree. If the vote were a near pass things would be different. They got clobbered. In the city and in the suburbs. The Royals may have dropped the ball but they also learned a lot from this vote. People in KC do not want a downtown stadium and if the Royals want to move downtown, they will have t...

unfortunately neither team will work with Jackson County again. They had been working behind the scenes for two years attempting to get a location approved. Which was I think Frank Whutes plan all along. In any case most unfortunate for sports fans in KC. The lack of leadership has lost the city tw...
