Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I've enjoyed following the debate throughout this thread. Excited to see what the Royals have come up with. To me, the design/plan will make or break this; they need to follow through on whatever they promise moving forward, including ancillary development and/or cap park integration. I actually th...

Can you say a little more about what's been hyped? People in the know enthusiastic?Chris Stritzel wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2024 11:37 pm I’m just curious to see the vision for the stadium at this point. It’s been hyped up to me over the past week and I’m interested in seeing it.

Re: GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I continue to work to wrap my mind around just how good the Chiefs are and the successes that one might expect in the future if things continue going well. Like, I see it, I've watched it, I've been reading about it all morning...but the last 5 years remain surreal to me.

Re: Overhaul of Kansas City incentive policies
How would you approach adjusting the length and % of the abatement? One thought I had is to make the abatement process less subject to negotiation. The more discretion and negotiation, the more it matters who your lawyer is, or how your relationship with a certain council member is, etc. If it was ...

Re: OFFICIAL - Main Street Streetcar Extension
Totally agree, but in the interim the posts are cheap and quickly installed. They offer no protection from cars, but they do delineate the space better than just a stripe.

Re: Streetcar to the riverfront
Odd takes. The stadium development area will be 1,100+ units & a 300+ unit Cordish project also to come. Will be the densest few acres in KC, a great urban node for the streetcar. Things could change, but these have more on the board than almost any other projects in the city rn. I'm definitely...

Re: Streetcar to the riverfront
Hmm interesting. This whole extension perplexes me a bit, but happy they're finding money. Not sure it's the best use of transportation money but 🤷🏼♂️ no one picked me to make these decisions Concur. In a world where the riverfront was developed more intensely I think it makes sense. As it stands,...

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
The only location in the metro being on 135th is a bummer for sure. And that's not a large store by REI's standards. It's the smallest REI store I've been in and I've been in many - it's even smaller than the one in Anchorage AK. I guess there isn't that big of a market here in KC for that kind of ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Yeah, so now imagine all that plus the new baseball stadium and spin-off. You might get an actual area of the city that resembles what the top 5 cities in the country have. Not just two “good/okay” areas with EV & Crossroads. This lines up with some of my thinking. Now that I have lived elsewhe...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I haven’t seen anyone mention the time it will take to complete an east village “village” or the risk a fully developed EV site could pose to P&L. Using Busch 3 in St Louis as an example, the new stadium opened in 2006. Ballpark Village opened in 2014… 8 years later. One Cardinal Way didn’t ope...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I’m fine losing that row of buildings on Grand. You’re not losing much (in my view) unless you like that Prime Bar (I hear it’s a problem business), a poke shop, event space, strip club and tattoo shop. The buildings on Oak are better to be saved since retaining those, and renovating them into bars...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I would expect the main entry to face Truman, with smaller entrances at 17th and Grand and Oak. Something like the storefronts in that East Village rendering could work.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
You could build this in a way that either preserved or created new retail opportunities along Grand, maybe even one or two with a view into the stadium a la Fenway. But also, nothing the Royals have shown so far suggests they have assembled a team that can do any of this with the kind of precision t...
