Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Q on the topic being vague on purpose but does not rule out a need for a vote https://twitter.com/QuintonLucasKC/status/1769849496790315288?s=19 So what's the deal on the funding. Early on, I understood that the extension of the sales tax would be sufficient to fund a new baseball stadium. Is it be...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
A couple of things I haven’t seen discussed much: (1) Could this lead to the Power and Light District Bonds getting retired early because of additional revenue in the district? (2) Could this pay down or into the streetcar TDD to help it pay down its costs? On (1), it would certainly be better than...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Because it cost 1/10th of what a new MLB stadium will cost. If they could build a new MlB stadium for under 150m I’m sure they’d not ask for a penny. and I'm guessing the Current's P&L is even less than 1/10th of the royals. The [NWSL] salary cap for the 2024 season will be $2,750,000 per team,...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I am only semi-educated on this subject, but my understanding is that the most relevant economic studies are pretty conclusive that pro sports stadiums don't seem to result in any sustained general increase in economic activity region-wide. But it does shift the distribution of that economic activi...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I just don't buy the idea that having pro teams does not give your city an economic boost. "people just go bowling instead" lol. There are studies that show there is not a benefit. I don't believe them - nor should anyone. Most of them are prepared by libertarian groups like the Show Me i...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
BTW on another page someone has said he has inside information that the Royals will move to Nashville if the vote fails. Where? Link? See the Star today. Sherman essentially came out and said something to suggest the franchise could be marketed - but it was veiled. He however did not say Nashville,...

Re: Redlining map of Kansas City (1939)
What is the Blue Hills golf club and what happened to it? The area known as the Citadel occupies some of the golf course former site. The site is fairly obvious on Google Maps by the more "modern" street patterns just north of 63rd and east of Blue Hills Drive. The club was established in...

Re: OFFICIAL - Loews Convention Hotel (formerly Hyatt)
Hope they do OK. Seems to be kind of a saturated market in KC. It will compete directly with the place in the P&L District.KCPowercat wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 12:15 pm travis and patrick opening a steakhouse on the ground level facing Baltimore and soon to be cap - 1587 Prime

Re: TIME TO FREAK OUT AGAIN ABOUT CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT! THE BIG 12 IS DEAD! MAYBE!
There's a Big 12 Tournament thread (not all that far back) and I should have put my post there. If there's a moderator around that wants to move my initial and ensuing posts there, that would be OK.

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...

It won't be in the tens of thousands but Arizona, for instance, is a perennial top 5-10 basketball school so there will be people trave...

Re: TIME TO FREAK OUT AGAIN ABOUT CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT! THE BIG 12 IS DEAD! MAYBE!
Big 12 Men and Women's tournament to stay in KC through 2031. Good news. Hope the B12 in it present forms survives further realignment and the NCAA doesn't mess with the tournament to the point that conference tournaments become archaic. With the increased footprint, fans from Arizona, Colorado and ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Crossroads will never be gaslamp no matter a baseball stadium. The problem with crossroads is it's too spread thin and no focus of activity. 18th and oak is the only real example of a focus of activity. Another reason why I think the East Crossroads location is ultimately the best. It replaces a co...
