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...

Re: Politics
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...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
If the shooting sways just 1-2% of people from not wanting a downtown stadium that could doom the vote... American gun culture is disgusting. Correction: American criminal culture. We enable this, in so many different ways. Poor education standards, lack of personal responsibility, etc. .....readil...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Heard from a friend there who is a member of Resurrection that the management are more than open to sell for the right price. Not exactly news but just goes to show everything has its price and they won't stubbornly just block any purchase out of sheer spite or pride. Not at all surprising. Thats a...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Grand BLVD improvement will be great but lets also upgrade16th street. That streetcar stop is going to be primary for Kauffman Center, Bartle Hall Ballroom and the stadium.
You could almost make it a mall. What would be a good name for a mall on 16th street? Hmmmm.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Also closing Oak St is no bueno, especially when it appears to be just to allow for the real estate development portion of the stadium. Oak is closed. Look at the right field entrance. https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/426357996_806133304891957_6146046116059497634_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Overall, this seems pretty detached from reality for the vote and will be rolled back considerably once they've gotten all the approvals. The office, residential and hotel will probably just be a parking garage. If that stuff isn't built along with the stadium then it's not happening. I feel like t...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
With the stadium in this location i think you have a better opportunity to run Shuttles from the various bar districts. Westport, Plaza, North KC, Martini Corner, Strawberry Hill could all run shuttles around from the various bars. You park in westport drink a little at the westport bar and a shutt...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
So we will be closing Grand, Walnut and Oak through downtown? 30%of the through street? 40% if you count Main with the streetcar? Don't like the brick exterior. Love the fountains (will they work in the batters eye?). Upper deck is much smaller, which is good. Fences look short. Would love to know t...
