Re: World Cup 2026 at Arrowhead?

I would not underestimate the international soccer fanbase of KC & surrounds. There are many communities who care about no other sport. KC tried to host games at Arrowhead and switched back to CMH when they couldn’t sell…… Eh, it's more of a 55k attendance would be amazing but would also look e...

Re: Misc Crossroads News

It's crazy how many there are in Chicago too. We were there last year & ran up to visit friends in Wrigleyville only to discover they also had a Christmas market & all the nearby bars were themed up too.

Could have that EV site too.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

We've got one more season of Bally's at most, it might even collapse before then. Cable's dying anyways, I wouldn't be shocked to see MLB just bring everything not national in house & just remove the blackouts from their stuff.

Re: New downtown on street parking rolloout

Looks like a nice step in the right direction. When friends and family come from the burbs into downtown, they always complain about parking and the confusion in general. I don't agree with them but anything we can do to make it more simple for visitors, I support. Next, let's tackle the food deliv...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Ok, so populous and a construction company that specializes in stadium construction don’t know what they’re talking about? Got it. Last time I’ll say this.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

What new is built anywhere not by a developer or company? That site is just not big enough for a stadium and that's blindly ignoring how hard it would be to build a majority of the stadium over an interstate. Where in the world do we have any indication that modot would be open to this? Lot of ener...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

You'll hear a Kansas play very soon. Already started. Fescoe on 610 sports was saying this morning that an anonymous stadium insider told him people need to stop thinking about this as a Royals only deal and you can’t separate out the Chiefs. If the Royals stay at Kaufman the Chiefs will look to mo...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Nah, the Crossroads doesn't need this to add to their community. It needs to be in EV, it just makes sense.

Think the church wouldn't sell anyways which makes me feel like it's DOA in any scenario.

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

The Montreal Olympic Stadium with the roof that never worked? No thanks. Different stadium. The CFL team up there moved from the failed dump stadium to the nice one pictured there a few decades ago & have flourished ever since. It's gotta be one of the most beautiful stadiums no one knows about.

Re: Worlds of Fun becoming Six Flags?

Trust me, WOF in the hands of Cedar Fair has been much better than if they were in the hands of Six Flags. It's a lot easier to build a park & do with it as you want when it's the only one you own. I don't think amusement parks really have much of a future anyways, and I say that as someone who ...

Good! Another snowflake. Unfortunately you vote so nothing will ever change.
Can we stop with the throwing around of archaic political terms that really shouldn't be allowed on here. This isn't a debate forum, go elsewhere if you want to post like that.

If only you could explain Sam Bankman-Fried's view on the Royals to the common fan, they'd gladly want to make things a bit better.

Re: NBA to Kansas City

It really doesn't need that much. Most teams have training facilities outside of the arena now, operating like NFL teams. New videoboard, upgraded luxury seating as useless to the common mass that it is, and minor upgrades and it's ready to go. Technology has progressed a bit in the arena game since...

Re: Worlds of Fun becoming Six Flags?

I really don't think this will pass the federal check, this is an outright monopoly & they're going to close a lot of parks for the real estate/just because if they let it through. I also can't for the life of me figure out why they'd keep the tainted Six Flags brand. Since Dan Snyder had it bri...

Re: Grand Blvd Closures

Then blame the state. Plenty of people in KC proper would love to have everyone on the same page but we will never be able to do that unless we can rightfully govern our municipality instead of having to follow an extremely archaic law from a century ago.
