Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I don't really care where the chiefs go because it's just a parking lot. But I don't think Missouri will want to lose two NFL teams.

Baseball needs to be an urban game. And they need to design the stadium to be an urban game. I'm sleepy but I'll post my thoughts on the future soon.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I agree. I was at my parents last night and they had the game on. They bought the subscription to watch them since they started well and it was the first time I watched a game in awhile. We were joking that we only know two players names, which goes to the other thread that they need to fix their te...

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Media rights are a bit more complicated than the discussion being had here. There is a still a chance Royals could be on Amazon streaming (or otherwise) within this season. https://archive.ph/sTL1N I still foresee a long term restructuring that includes MLB bringing in rights to their umbrella, and...

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I attended the game today. Yes, it was windy, but the kids enjoyed getting splashed with water from the fountains. People were having a good time too. Leaving with a win is the highlight of today. The fact no one shows up to the games is because of three factors. 1. Location. Why attend a game wher...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Really laughable all round. Convinced by the Mayor in the 8th inning to move off the obvious site because Cordish were shit scared people wouldn't walk literally another 0.2 miles to P&L as opposed to an EC stadium, and the sad thing is people are so married to their cars here it was probably f...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Women and minority tend to be less union, so you come out at the same time and say we're going to guarantee best in class representation along with education for the next generation. Black Americans have the highest rate of union density of any racial or ethnic group, and 9.5% of working women in t...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

John Sherman needs to explain what happened to the East Village site and why it's not on the table. And I'm saying that as someone who thinks the Crossroads site is leagues better than EV. But the last-minute (in relative terms) switch rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, and he needs to be clear ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

East village would not have gotten any more yes votes. I think it woukd have gotten more no votesi n the suburbs. You guys are in a bubble downtown in relation to the rest of the county This is absolutely incorrect. Anthony is correct here. There was a lot of goodwill for the east village site.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

If anyone wants to laugh, ask the royals what their $1 billion investment outside the stadium will be in that they promised.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I feel so disconnected from the comments I'm reading here. The general consensus among people in my life was that this was a disastrous campaign. It was late and felt rushed on the royals side. They didn't get community buy in ahead of time, and the behind the scene machinations left questions. It w...

Re: Three Light

Those numbers would generally be considered full occupancy. Might want a year to make sure people aren't going from one and two to three as their leases expire. One would worry me the most at this point. They might have to do some midlife work on that because it's rough. Wouldn't be surprised to see...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

That's not true. The royals contributed significantly less last time than the chiefs did.

People downtown were talking about it and the owners immediately shut it down.

Had no interest in investing downtown.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I never really threw this out, but my other idea was for the chiefs to build their Hof downtown along with a sporting KC style bar at the new royals location. Kinda get rid of this charade that we're ever going to develop tsc, and keep the two teams connected. How fun. Like have the teams hotel conn...
