The stadium would have a much larger web of positive impact to the area than existing businesses in this area. It's very hard to argue that a baseball stadium in this location wouldn't be better for taxpayers and the cities coffers than what's already there.
Crossroads site = Baseball Stadium - Local Crossroads Businesses and Functional Real Estate
EV site = Baseball Stadium + Local Crossroads Businesses and Functional Real Estate + Whatever Additional Development the Royals may or may not build - Acres upon Acres of surface parking
I'm a voter that would be a supporter of the EV site and a hell no on the Crossroads site. So there's that.DColeKC wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 6:01 pm As for the voters who are opposed, they don't care about the physical location. They're opposed regardless. I see no major pushback on a larger scale over the exact area. Those same people are opposed because they're opposed to any change that they deem a inconvenience to them.
And P&L's just a bunch of shitty bars. Let's build it there.
