Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

It's sold out, so I guess it's popular?

Also we got the fan vote to win the cental. MLB Central had a couple of commentators pick Bobbo Whitt Jr to win AL MVP and Cole Ragans to win AL Cy Young.

I wouldn't bet any money on any of those things but I would take the over on 74.5 games.

Projection mapping would be so great on that Memorial Auditorium facade.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

PnL was a lot easier because it had been in the works since the 80's by Stan Durwood. A lot of the properties were being land banked, and no new development had happened in anticipation of Durwood's development going in. Unlike what's happening in East Village, sorry East Crossroads.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I have to think they mean underground infrastructure. Pipes , Power, etc. That is what I was wondering if that is it and that would be a legit difference and cost. I can't believe all that won't have to be moved at either site though as the stadium will go lower than we typically install that type ...

Re: Fantasy Retrofits: Barney Allis Plaza

The new designs of BAP always show the plaza descending down to grade in front of Municipal Auditorium. With its massive limestone wall, I think there should be a permanent "Art on the Mart" style projection show, like they have on the riverwalk in Chicago. It brings people out! https://w...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

With a big ask from the city for funding KC residents in Jax co will be getting hit twice. I mean not really right? First off the tax being voted on isn’t exclusive to Jackson county residents. It’s a sales tax on anything bought in JaCo by anyone. The city will probably issue municipal bonds that ...

I do too. This isn't a premier league stadium. It's a stadium for a minor sport.* I'm actually surprised it's as nice as it is. Could have easily been roofless. Haters need to adjust their expectations.

*Nothing against NWSL, just an economic reality.

Re: OFFICIAL: Power & Light District

Pork ribs should not fall off the bone. If they do they are overcooked. That will.lose you points in any BBQ competition.

If you like them that way, go for it. But it's outside the standard.

Congressmen take credit for whatever money comes into the community, so they can take the blame for the lack of money too.

Re: Restoration of City Control Over KCPD

So, the affect this has on crime, good or bad, shouldn’t be a determinant? Correct. If we had zero crime I would still want local control. No other major city in the US has to deal with this. Right. The origin of state control of the police force was corruption that happened mid last century. It ha...

Re: Restoration of City Control Over KCPD

The argument for local control should have little to do with crime rate. Police should be accountable to the people that they police, not one man living halfway across the state.

Re: Trees in KC (ongoing)

Sapling trees are much better than 2", and up, trees. They don't need regular watering except in extreme conditions and they grow a better root system and are easier to plant. And you can pick them up for a few bucks. However, their worst enemy is lawn mowers, so you have to mark them and prote...
