Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
East Village isn't coming back on the table. The Royals are all in on this site. The city will have to get more involved and the city leaders want this in East Crossroads, not EV. Things change, just like “we have two sites selected” and “we will be removing Oak St” and “we will eminent domain east...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I can disagree that the teams did a terrible job here. But they objectively did do a terrible job here, by basically any metric you could evaluate and measure the effort. They blew their own arbitrary deadlines, they provided half baked information that raised more question than answered, they let ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
What happened with Sly James? His "Magic" has seemed to run out the last 5 years or so from the Justice endorsement to this. The guy came across as a grumpy asshole throughout this process. You can tell when someone fully believes in a project and sells it with passion and when they're ge...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Oh they care. They were just naïve enough to think they held all the cards. Unlike Beauty from Ashes, I don't think the Crossroads lost the vote for the Royals. The Crossroads lost them their base, the people that they needed to go out and sell this plan, talk about how great downtown baseball woul...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I'm not a gambler, but I suspect the county gets kicked to curb regarding the Royals. Sherman and the Royals will work with the city alone to fund this fully with 250 million or so from the state at most. Site will still be Crossroads. Chiefs get to break up with the Royals finally. Kansas has alre...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
How do we think a Sporting Kansas City vote would go? Would gaining a team as opposed to just keeping one you already have be a bigger vote getter?

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Y'all best simmer down with the doomerism. Fuck me. Give it a little bit. You take a setback like this and act like it's the end of the world. And then some wonder why folks on the other side of the argument can't take the pro-downtown stadium folks seriously. I swear, negativity feeds off of negat...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Arrogance lost this vote. I voted for it but I had to hold my nose because it was bad from the beginning. You can't just waltz into the Crossroads saying you're going to close major roads and bulldoze whole sections of buildings without some bit of humility. And the Chiefs plan gave nothing real to ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
It wouldn't be the entire park and I'm guessing only a few times a year. For example, maybe a Beer Fest or a fundraiser using the pavilion area. I'm not saying every weekend and multiple downtown organizations would have this ability to apply for a permit to use it. Kylde Warren Park is used a few ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I would not conflate EV with the stadium vote. It's a separate matter that has nothing to do with merits of the EV location. Even if the land had not been banked, I suspect EV would look pretty similar to what it does today. I disagree. East Village would look something like East Crossroads if not ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Here was the criteria I needed to vote yes and how I see it played out: What I need: - Messaging from the Royals showing care for displaced businesses, sufficient purchase price for buildings and attempts to relocate in surrounding areas. Yes, it seems that the Royals are attempting to work with bus...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I get that. Just saying let’s apply the rules equally. I’ve been called so much worse than a moron and even had my parenting questioned over development. Lol I'm not sure, but I think you're talking to me. I was talking about people who focus their entire passions on "making a pile of money&qu...

Re: T-Mobile Center (formerly Sprint Center)
The biggest upgrade to Sprint Center with an NBA/NHL team would be suites. They planned for this with the original design. They would be at the top of each lower level section. Currently, they have what looks like currogated metal covering where they would be. There would have to be some change to c...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I feel like Oak isn't an insurmountable problem. They could either have Oak curve around the eastern edge of the stadium or have the stadium building cantilevered over Oak, the same way the convention center runs over 13th, 14th, Truman, etc. They've said they will have Oak as a road for all types ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Yeah it simply cannot fit between the current curblines of Grand and Oak. Just not happening for an MLB level park. Heck Tmobile struggled to fit in that same width. Which is the reason I/we balked at this spot when it was initially talked about. I don't see how they're going to do it, but they've ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
John Sherman said today that the Royals would be putting between 300m and 400m into the stadium project. What happened to the $1B? They've always said they're going to put "over a billion" into the village development but today was the first day he said specifics about how much money the ...

Re: T-Mobile Center (formerly Sprint Center)
If they're going to build a bridge to the Royals, why not put an entrance on the south end?
