Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Lol go find the spaceship. You missed the early years. That's where we are now Someone must have the original rendering of Sprint center? I'm avoiding saying who we went against to not draw this off. I have all the original renderings and concepts. I was here for the early days. The spaceship was o...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Why would they be presenting this stadium if they haven’t figured out how to pay for it? 300 to 350 million will be generated from the tax extension. As for Sprint Center renderings and what we ended up with. They dropped a few fountains along Grand and that’s about it. We ended up with one of the ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Ftr, as of now I'm planning to vote yes on the tax.

I'm sorry if I'm sounding negative. Grid must be happy I'm taking over the abuse.

I agree with what Chris said. The only thing I'll add is fight now because you won't get a second chance.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Worth mentioning power and light is backed by the general fund. Anyway, Take a look at the initial Sprint center renderings or airport. The royals said their contribution would be buying the land. The tax, if approved, will give a couple hundred million. And people think they're going to build this?...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

For those that haven't gone through this before, enjoy. When they announce something with no funding, but fancy renderings, the first thing they do is start cutting. I know everyone likes dcole for the optimism, but look through what I have said recently and see if any of it is wrong. The reason I w...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Build it. Just remove the cheesy bridge over the new park. Let people walk through the park. Pleasantly surprised with the plans and I think most people will come to like it over time. It’s a very touchy subject right now. Mahomes endorsed the project on Twitter as has Perez and Witt Jr This is wha...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

It's all vapor. There's no money for any of it.

But let's ask the real question, do we get real flags to make grand grand again? lol

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

If you think they're actually going to build that, I'll sell you the bridge in the renderings.

Every new kc thing comes out with big fountains and then they take them away. We have floating faces on old screens around sprint center still. And an empty parking lot next to it.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

That's fine. This was pushed because they said a new district would kill any chance of power and light being able to pay money back to the bonds. Cordish wants to develop on their properties and didn't want another developer close by. It was incredibly incestuous. Whatever, you'll all see soon and s...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I’m just curious to see the vision for the stadium at this point. It’s been hyped up to me over the past week and I’m interested in seeing it. Even if it's been surrounded by parking lots? We were promised the same thing with Sprint center and you know the lots around it. I'm surprised you're not m...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Huge disappointment? Why, because it’s not your preferred location? This will prove to be the best location and decision but a few of you will still hate on it even after it works out. This is going to be a great fan experience, so much better than what it would have been in EV. They’ll still be in...

It turned into what I said earlier, them all partnering to do less.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Meh, you'll hear about development. Especially the cap and the interconnection between districts and blah.

Whether you choose to believe it is up to you. I didn't believe it in the EV and I don't believe it here now..

Re: World Cup 2026 at Arrowhead?

Remember half the fun of this is fan zones. A lot of people can't afford to travel a lot so they fly to one city and party. This Isa fantastic draw for our size.

Anyone with money should build a downtown hostel quickly.

Fourth of July in there too. This will be a huge test for Kansas city.

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

I've been using the airport more and I think the criticism is mostly off base. It's a very nice airport. I traveled with my parents recently who are perfectly mobile but getting up there in age and they asked why there weren't more moving walkways. I think that's a legit critique now after spending ...
