Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Tbh that Chiefs proposal is so shitty and disappointing that I honestly think it would be better for them to go Kansas and actually get a real stadium setup that they deserve. Maybe that's a silver lining. Do you think the vote is going to fail? I think it will pass. And I want it to pass so that w...

There is a anti stadium rally going on right now across from city hall with only like 20 people. They all look like they escaped from a mental asylum....

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Yeah it simply cannot fit between the current curblines of Grand and Oak. Just not happening for an MLB level park. Heck Tmobile struggled to fit in that same width. HAHAHAHAHA, Tmobile literally has a parking lot between the arena and Oak. bro, I needed that laugh.... HAHAHAHAHA Follow the parking...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
The site between Grand and Oak is 100 feet narrower than the smallest modern park in the league. Something will have to give. It's also going to have a smaller capacity than those modern parks too. It can easily fit with a good design plus both Grand and Oak can use a road diet to give you an extra...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I scaled municipal stadium onto the crossroads site. A stadium that has almost the exact same number of seats as what they are proposing. Oak doesn't even need a road diet to make a stadium fit. Sure a new stadium is going to have wider concourses, more bathrooms and amenities, but the site can easi...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Saving a couple buildings east of Oak doesn't prevent the Royals from building Hotels and Apartment buildings over there, I don't see what the big deal is. You could save half the buildings on Oak, save the fire station, and still fit 10+ one light size buildings between Oak/Cherry/Truman/17th

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I also doubt the mayor would come out and publicity say that if he didn't already know the royals were changing the plans to incorporate oak.

Re: New Chiefs Stadium
Lower bowl demolition is on the home side so I don't think this is part of the world cup renovations as they are making the field wider on the visitor side according to the previous renders. Maybe this is just making the tunnel entrance wider to make it easier to set up concerts? https://i.imgur.com...

Re: KCMO Downtown Streetcar
the center median is well used by commercial traffic. I love the look of the medians better for sure but you'd have to account for them somewhere. Main Street isn't a parking lot. Uber eats and other drivers need to quit using it as one too. The area has alleys, parking lots, loading docks, and sid...

Re: KCMO Downtown Streetcar
There is hardly any panhandling along the streetcar route. Too few cars to be worth it.beautyfromashes wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 4:02 pm Center islands breed panhandling issues. Sounds like an enforcement issue. I actually mentioned it on here a few years ago and people responded with”this is what happens in an urban area!” so I dropped it.

Re: New Chiefs Stadium
Did the world cup renovations just start? I was watching a video the Chiefs just posted 2 hours ago of Hollywood Brown touring the stadium and it looked like equipment in the background had ripped out a section of the lower bowl.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
During a conversation with Populous, I was told that while the current plan includes closing Oak, they are looking at several different options. I get the feeling they don't see it working without closing Oak though. Interesting news to me however, they claim Oak will remain open to pedestrians, in...

Re: KCMO Downtown Streetcar
I'm getting beyond annoyed by the people that just abandon their cars in the turn lane because it's a free parking spot and the lack of pedestrian islands on the downtown route is just absurd... we need to get rid of that stupid and ugly turn lane and put in a nice landscaped median, maybe even with...

Re: New Riverfront Women's Soccer Stadium
Along those lines, To anyone that went: How full were all of the gravel lots around the stadium? Was there space? Completely filled? I worry that if they were full the owners will drag their feet on starting the development of those lots due to the ~$50 parking charges. Port Authority owns those lo...

Re: New Riverfront Women's Soccer Stadium
The stadium looks unfinished or something to me. I think the stadium is neat, but the exterior looks cheap or something. I'm sure it's fine. Just a first impression. It's a high school football stadium with a soccer roof. I have no idea where the $100+ million went. It's literally aluminum bleachers.

Re: Capping the Loop
Said all along this has no chance of opening prior to the world cup. They might start construction before the WC if they are lucky. How does MO have the money to widen I-70 across the entire state when most of it doesn't need it? I-70 only needs to be six lanes to Odessa for example. Widening it fr...
