Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
I wonder if the continued security issues at the Plaza are giving any pause to the Dallas firm that is buying the shopping center? It's a pretty big issue as it impacts the public's confidence in their own security and hence patronage. Especially at night. They have to be wondering how they can cont...

Re: OFFICIAL - LuxLiving 'The Wonderland' (formerly Faultless Linen)
Slowly being enclosed. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53634297697_200e0d628e_h.jpg Great picture showing the relative scale of this project. Pretty substantial in terms of the area it covers and height. Hope it doesn't stay sealed for long and they finish or sell to someone that can. Perpetual...

Re: OFFICIAL - Buck O'Neil Bridge
Probably the wrong spot for this but didn't they recently open the southbound I-35 entrance off the north loop at the south end of the Buck O'Neil Bridge? I swore I drove this just a few weeks ago. I was coming back from the northland yesterday and decided to go this direction because it's generall...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
They can and they most likely will if they cannot get a favorable deal here where they believe they can generate the revenues to sustain a quality product. You must not be a Royals fan. Glass gave fuck all about sustaining a quality product and he turned a $150m investment into $1B. He could have a...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Could they use the KCMO "Arena Tax" to pay a stadium? The cost of TMobile Center was 270 million in 2007. That's 410 million today adjusted for inflation. Still less than half of what it would cost to build a stadium plus I suspect that tax is still being used to pay off the construction ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Honest to God, I’m getting annoyed at everyone saying the Royals are going to Nashville or Salt Lake City. Now we’re talking about potentially Oakland (a city that doesn’t give a shit about the A’s)? Give it a rest. Seriously. The Royals are not leaving the KC Metro. Anyone saying they’re leaving c...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
And the first speculation of the departure of one of the teams is already hitting national news with the Dallas Mayor making statements about Dallas going after the Chiefs for a second NFL team in the Dallas area.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I agree. If the vote were a near pass things would be different. They got clobbered. In the city and in the suburbs. The Royals may have dropped the ball but they also learned a lot from this vote. People in KC do not want a downtown stadium and if the Royals want to move downtown, they will have t...

How do you know it was even her? FB is notorious for fake accounts. I cannot imagine someone in that position making a tone deaf post like that the day after an election even if it accurately portrays the most likely scenario. Why don’t you just go look for yourself? Search her name. Friends with t...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
unfortunately neither team will work with Jackson County again. They had been working behind the scenes for two years attempting to get a location approved. Which was I think Frank Whutes plan all along. In any case most unfortunate for sports fans in KC. The lack of leadership has lost the city tw...

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.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I still believe that the Royals want to be downtown and the Chiefs want to be at Arrowhead. They're not going to throw out their desires because of one failed vote, they'll throw them out only once it's clear that they won't be able to get what they want and we're not at that point yet. Put your do...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Sorry, but this is bad. This is not coming back to a county vote. No way. At the very best case, the state will have to put in a bunch of money to try and do a hail mary, but it will be for a much more watered down project. This grand project south of the Sprint Center is dead. My guess it KC is go...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
You might get a chance to vote on Arrowhead again, but the Royals are in serios limbo. And sadly it really seems like most of KC doesn't care about the Royals. 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...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I am not surprised by the outcome. Love or hate social media, the margin of yes/no is about the same as I saw on social media. I thought from the time the Royals decided on East Crossroads to the time of the vote was far too short of duration to sort out all the details let alone a successful campai...

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

Yes, it seems that the Royals are attempting to work with bu...
