Poor kc. Some things will never change there.

Grid finds other NFL stadiums boring, but also wants one of those boring stadiums. The bowl of Arrowhead can NOT legally be built again because if modern building codes and the ADA. We will not have the same amount of fans that close to the field and making that much noise, and with such great sigh...

How’s it constantly make the top 3 “bucket list” stadiums on every single list that comes out if it’s just a “KC” thing? I could take an hour and share 10 links to these types of national fan voted polls but it’s a moot point. Here’s just one. https://10best.usatoday.com/awards/travel/best-nfl-stad...

I think you’re overstating some of these opinions from much of the World Cup “Community”. Also, the “people I talk to outside of KC”. I think you have an opinion then try to cobble phantom support to back it. Huh? I agree it's a classic, but it's also dated at the same time. The renovations are not...

I don't think Arrowhead has quite the reputation people in KC think. Most people I talk to outside of KC just think it's kind of old and dated. Sure it's a classic, but it's nothing special. Much of the world cup community is somewhat confused as to why the WC is being held there. Arrowhead does not...

Most people I know voted no. That includes people in the city literally within the streetcar taxing district and people in the county suburbs.

I will be extremely surprised if it passes.

The only thing special about that u-haul building is it's a pretty large structure in a part of downtown that has few large structures. If they can incorporate it, great. But if something substantial replaces it, that's great too. I mean it's also OLD! why are we so quick to tear down now a days. T...

As far as my thoughts on this passing. I'm not sure still. Honestly I get the same vibes as I got with the city proposed light rail plan. Everybody all along said it was very close 50/50 and I felt like it had a chance of passing, but it failed by quite a bit. I think this might get voted down by ju...

Almost 400,000 sq ft of office space in suburbia? I mean there is zero chance that downtown KC sees even a small 200,000 sq ft building if these keep going up in JoCo. And those renderings. Good lord. Is it 1990 again? I guess they are not using STAR bonds like most other projects like this in KS, s...

Now just orient the stadium more to the north build up the area east of the arena with hotels and high rise residential.

Well, I guess I don't have to keep asking if all the surrounding development will open with the stadium anymore.

In the Crossroads just now and it's pretty quiet with the only real foot traffic really being people in town for the Big 12 wrestling tournament. You can't tell me that the city is in a position to refuse this, it's madness bordering on selfishness. I wish more people would notice this. Anyway, tha...

So it looks like KCMO just needs to add 2.9 million people to its city limits. Sounds easy enough.

Have the Royals said anything about the development along Oak going up at the same time as the stadium?

Good god. Another STAR bonded project in KS. Where are all the people against corporate handouts to millionaire developers for KS side development? Never anywhere to be found. Just like Schlitterbahn, they won't last five years (unless KS subsidizes them even more down the road). There is no way in ...

Austin has hit a major snag and have actually started to see home values decline and rent deals are abundant as they struggle to fill up apartments they built at a frantic pace. You say this like it is a bad thing…we should be shooting for this I don’t really have an opinion on good or bad. I can s...

Good news is that despite JoCo adding the most, the MO sided continues to add over twice as many people. 8,552 MO side vs 4,009 KS side.

I'm sure they will super tif the stadium development. Basically Missouri's version of STAR bonds. It's how the P&L District was funded.

Redirects EVERY bit of revenue collected from the area back to the development, that includes state taxes and KCMO's etax.

Sounds like a good guy to have in city hall then.
