Here is a very detailed 350 page plan of what the proposed new terminal will look like with elevations, passenger numbers, and etc. There are even a couple of alternative concepts to the main terminal itself starting in the 230s. http://www.flykci.com/_FileLibrary/FileImage/PROGRAM%20CRITERIA%20DOCU...

^^^ Happy for Romeo, he's a good D Coordinator. ^^^ I think the Chiefs on offense could use a solid good catching #1 WR with some size. D. Bowe as a number 1 is way too inconsistent for my taste. At best he's a solid number 2. As for our D, what happened? It was like 2003 all over again after the 9t...

Also security officials wants the airport to build the glass facades that divide pre, and post security to the ceilings because there have been cases of people throwing things over to others that have forgotten items like car keys. As for adding a second story to the terminals, engineers say that th...

Well, the Chiefs blew this one. Once again, besides the poor tackling, the Chiefs defense made a mediocre wide receiver look like Jerry Rice. Teams are using the quick slants against the Chiefs the same way they would attack other defenses with a good running game. Teams have figured out that if you...

KC will be just have to deal with having a crappy airport if they choose not to bring it out of the 1960's.[/quote] Mark Van Loh said that if a new Terminal doesn't get built, then they may have to look at putting a security structure in the garages because there is no more room to expand security a...

I wrote to Airport officials and suggested that they should follow the blueprint of Terminal D at DFW. They said all options are still being considered, and said they would forward my message to the city council, and upper airport officials.

KCI named the 20th best airport for security checkpoint by Travel and Leisure http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/best-airport-security-checkpoints And if you read on down and see America's Worst Airports you'll find that they say KCI is ranked 9th worst in the nation. I guess these people, ac...

So, has KCI already closed one of the terminals? Flew into KCI this week and was surprised by how hopping the United Airlines terminal was. On past occasions, it's been dead. I had a colleague along on their first trip to KC - they didn't mind the airport so much but hated being a "prisoner&qu...

here's the article in the star yesterday about the sandiego airport expansion and how it could be used as an examle for mci. http://www.kansascity.com/2013/08/19/4421616/new-1-billion-expansion-of-san.html in case you are interested in seeing the inside of the airport here's a video: http://www.you...

Hopefully Andy Reid can solve the Chiefs problems on Offense. You have to give Clark Hunt some credit. He identified the problems this team has with it's QBs and went out and got possibly the best/friendliest QB head coach in the league. We have a QB coach? Andy Reid from Philly? Wow - the Chiefs j...

I think we all know the reason for building a new terminal at KCI. It's about making people more comfortable, and making more money off the added comforts for those people. KCI is a vital economic engine for Kansas City. And if airport officials, and engineers say that building a new terminal will i...

Sounds to be interesting. It's exactly what we all talk about on here. I wonder how many people in Olathe, and places like it think sprawl is a problem, or even care. People who want to live in a $300,000 McMansion with a quarter acre of land live in places like Olathe. That is the quality of life t...

1. I'm still not sold on Succup. He had some critical misses last year from short distances. 2. I'm sorry, but I never thought Chase Daniel was a NFL caliber QB. 3. The Chiefs dropping passes is nothing new. D Bowe has had some big time drops in his Chiefs career. Hopefully Andy Reid can solve the C...

It kinda sucks for fans who want to get up there and watch a practice, but perhaps 8:15 practice is the key to the super bowl. I agree with this. I think practice early in the morning will help keep their minds clear of any distractions. It may also help weed out the ones that aren't as dedicated. ...

This sounds promising: http://www.kansascity.com/2013/06/21/4305090/northland-developers-propose-200.html I wonder how this would affect Zona Rosa especially in the summer, and winter months. I was there on June 26th and it was hot that day, and I noticed the shopping center was pretty much dead at...

A practice facility would have to be built. KC, or a city near by may have to foot that bill. Also the city may have to forego their portion of the revenue made at the SC to help lure an ownership group. Those right there are two huge subsidies. Now, why would a potential KC ownership group let the ...

^^^ Agree. But walking seems to be one of the biggest complaints that people have with a new terminal at KCI. And as long as the people at savekci continue to compare a new terminal at KCI with atlanta, then people will continue to say they don't want it.

I don't think a new terminal will get KC a hub, or more direct flights just because we build it. But it will at least allow KCI a chance to get those. I'm going to listen to an engineer, or an architect when it comes to structures. When they say a building needs to be replaced, then it needs to be r...
