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. So, the affect this has on crime, good or bad, shouldn’t be a determinant? Correct. If we had zero crime I would still w...

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...

A communion of his sentence. I wanted to make a joke about Parsons consuming the transmuted blood and body of Christ in a strange ritual in order to accomplish this, but who knows, he may have actually done something like that. Anyway, I think it's a commutation . Doh! Correct. Sometimes spell chec...

Not a pardon. A communion of his sentence. He will be on house arrest until Oct 2025.

Still BS though.

Who pays the cost of demolition of the K and what is that estimate? BTW does anyone REALLY care that the concrete from the K will be repurposed?

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

I was ready to vote yes despite my misgivings about Oak being closed, but this has flipped me to no. Public money to upgrade the most expensive and exclusive parts of the stadium, while the rest of us get covered walkways? No thanks. The chiefs will cover those portions while the tax payer will cov...

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

Are there any published plans for the WC renovations. I know they have to widen the field. Will the removed seats be replaced with temporary seats or will they permanently restore the field to it's original width?
