The only negative thing I ever say or think about KC is our weather. However, after spending four glorious days in Lawton, Oklahoma (Ft. Sill) on business, I'll complain no more.

What a dick.

Upgraded Merriam Lane/Southwest Blvd. would be great. That's how I cycle downtown from northern JOCO.

Just curious.

The only thing I could find on their website is Disney on Ice from 2 years ago.

Are you thinking AHL at Kemper?

Support for minor (beer) league hockey is not an accurate indicator of attendance for an major league team.

Fans in major league cities generally support major league teams, not minor league ones.

Maybe they'll play that one at the Community America. I assume that was tongue in cheek?  :D All of the temporary seating was taken down after the conclusion of last season. There are more season ticket holders this year than CAB held last year. The game will be moved to another date just like last...

Have another thread started here.. http://forum.kcrag.com/index.php?topic=17460.0 Thanks for that source though.  Have been looking for one that breaks down Class A/B separately.  They track a lot more space than CBRE and don't even include Class C. Yeah, our internet connection at work was interru...

I can't remember, but wasn't this building constructed by a third-party owner to lease to the GSA/EPA, and not by the government itself? This has happened before.  That "Flash Cube" building at 8th and Main that Tower Properties owns was also built cheaply, and will probably have to be to...

More that it was built by a general contractor who built the project as cheaply as possible. Beat down the subs, shop bids, etc.

In the end, you get what you pay for.

BTW who was the general contractor for the KCK building?

As I recall, the Koll Construction Company out of Newport Beach, CA.

Yeah, it's all the union's fault. 

You righties won't be satisfied until the middle class disappears from this country.

The only thing slightly odd about using the name for KC's MLS franchise is that most of the other "Sportings" are all-sports clubs rather than soccer-only enterprises. From what I understand, OnGoal's long term plan is to add other sports in addition to soccer. So the Sporting moniker may...

You're welcome, KU fans.

Informed speculation on the stadium sponsor. There should also be a shirt sponsor announced soon.
