Re: New Chiefs Stadium

A communion of his sentence. I wanted to make a joke about Parsons consuming the transmuted blood and body of Christ in a strange ritual in order to accomplish this, but who knows, he may have actually done something like that. Anyway, I think it's a commutation . Doh! Correct. Sometimes spell chec...

At least they have money to pay for some things.
Not a pardon. A communion of his sentence. He will be on house arrest until Oct 2025.

Still BS though.

I'd be fine with that for Arrowhead. As long as it's in the metro.

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

Just had a couple of people stop by with Vote Yes Flyers. Asked me how I was going to vote. Said undecided. Asked why. Said closing Oak and underwhelming announcement from the Chiefs. Canvasser said "Oh really because I understand they are building a retractable roof to get the Super Bowl"...

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

Who pays the cost of demolition of the K and what is that estimate? BTW does anyone REALLY care that the concrete from the K will be repurposed? Just seems like lip service to be responsible stewards of the environment but maybe (probably) I'm out of touch. Does repurposed mean, used to fill in the...

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

I was ready to vote yes despite my misgivings about Oak being closed, but this has flipped me to no. Public money to upgrade the most expensive and exclusive parts of the stadium, while the rest of us get covered walkways? No thanks. The chiefs will cover those portions while the tax payer will cov...

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

Are there any published plans for the WC renovations. I know they have to widen the field. Will the removed seats be replaced with temporary seats or will they permanently restore the field to it's original width?

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

In fact, the Royals might want to decouple from the Chiefs on this one. I think the Chiefs are dragging down the vote with this presentation more than the Royals. It's like they want it to fail.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Usage of Oak, Grand, or any other street downtown TODAY isn't the issue, we are trying to plan for our city's future and undo the mistakes of the past. If we plan on our downtown being vibrant and urban in 20 years we need to make sure we aren't permanently closing major streets through downtown. Ir...

I just don't understand how the word thug is now a racist term, the definition of a thug is a violent, aggressive person, especially one who is a criminal. It's not. I don't understand why the mayor decided to interject himself in this way. We have serious issues with crime and feels like there isn...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I don't want to pay for a billionaire's new stadium, I also don't want to pay for low-income housing, mental healthcare, and schools. Or frankly police and firefighters. But I'm also smart enough to realize that all those things, in their way, are a benefit to our city.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Closing Oak is a non-starter for me too, but I'm not sure why they can't route it around the complex to the East, incorporating it with Locus.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

A lot of this has nothing to do with the stadium at all. It’s people showing their true selves. We can admit that there is a gun problem and a crime problem. Yes. Both should be addressed. But how they relate directly to the new stadium and vote is where I get lost on the argument. Let’s keep that ...

Re: GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because "Machine gun" is a terrible description of what the person was using. IE: Inaccurate description. The kid certainly wasn't carrying around an M249 SAW or anything in that likeness. He had a much smaller weapon that folks unfamiliar with weapons typically misclassify. Ever seen tha...
