Anyone else in here long term season ticket holder? Wondering what the different feelings amongst various groups are. STM's, a few games a year attendees, TV viewers/fans? Arrowhead is a treasure. You don't need to change it dramatically and building a new stadium would be a 2.5 billion dollar ende...

I was curious how many cities have urban vs suburban stadiums. I know the south is full of suburban stadiums so I didn't even research there, but in the heartland it's almost entirely urban baseball. Literally every AA, AAA, and MLB stadium in this circle are Urban except the Royals organization and...

The businesses complaining about this sound exactly like the ones that tried to stop the streetcar.

I've been told we will be seeing and hearing from the Chiefs this week after delaying due to the parade shooting. Royals will start up their activity soon as well and while it's very common for CBA's to not be finalized before a vote, they're trying to get it done. Any idea what day? I'm getting an...

We are literally not even comparable to STL. They have been in that location since the white flight urban renewal era when they also bulldozed like 100 square blocks for the arch. Plus their previous stadium had a 60,000 seat capacity when all that parking was built compared to our 34,000. Anyone ma...

I just snapped this pic. This is 1 hour before rush hour, constant stream of cars going both directions on oak. This is why I won't shut up about not sure if the photo of an empty 6 lane road is supposed to be serious or ironic Yeah, that's like a mile of roadway in the middle of a city during a we...

^ Going to be more like 7 to 8 hours closed per game. 81 is bare minimum, well over 100 on a playoff year combined with a few summer concerts. What I'm suggesting is finding a solution that doesn't require this. All home games start at 6:40pm or 1:10pm with rare exceptions. 1:10pm Games: Oak closes...

^ I will say I drove down Oak today and I understand the desire to keep it open. Tunneling it wouldn't be idea because it would still be closed down on game days. It would be ideal if it somehow wrapped all the way around the village portion so it could remain open. Oak staying open likely means th...

Why is it so damn hard for the Royals to get out in front of all these issues? Like how hard would it be for them to do some short form content that is shareable on social media or a youtube video that addresses all the major concerns or even just throw out some olive branches by addressing the issu...

Why isn't there a concentrated push to counter misperceptions about parking? and now news just came out that parking at Current KC's stadium will be $68 per game just added more fuel on the fire for everyone freaking out about downtown parking. The Chiefs need to come out and make this election abo...

Royals announced there will be QT ads on the jerseys now. Are they literally trying to turn everyone against them before the vote? WTF....

Surveyors on site today.

Oak was also packed with traffic on my trip though.... Closing the street IS A DEAL BREAKER

I love our new terminal and agree with you all, basically never see or hear anyone complaining about it while there. My only complaint and it's pathetic, is the "art" in the main lobby as you walk in for departures. It just looks so basic and underwhelming. I get it though, budgets. that ...

The Royals and Chiefs have over a million dollars to spend on this campaign as of today but there’s been nothing. They’re trying to be sensitive to the tragedy our City experienced last week which I understand but they need to hit back at all the negativity out there. Of course they want a United f...

This is interesting because the Royals renderings for EV had home plate at 9th and Cherry. Was this concern for the courthouse? Also, how hard would it be for the local feds to put in a request for funding security upgrades at a facility that would see increased surrounding traffic starting in 2028...

This is an actual question I'd like to find an answer to: what legal juristiction does the feds have over city owned property other than FAA height restrictions which the stadium would be far under. I know I've watched a YouTube video from Stewart Hicks, architect from Chicago, about how there is on...

I need to get off Reddit..

Saw one person complain about the crossroads site, clicked on their name and 4 posts previously they were complaining about cities being designed for cars.

If I were going to move today, a sports franchise would be the last thing I would think about . I would look at the architecture, how walkable and bikeable the neighborhood is, transit, parks, pools, crime, education, weather, etc. in other words, I would look how the city takes care of its residen...

From https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article285655497.html The Royals said last week that their plan is to buy the properties and then hand title to the county, which would own the stadium. So the county owns the stadium? Then it’s not building a stadium for a billionaire at all...
