Re: Lee's Summit Soccer Megacomplex
here's a quick link to the site to put into google maps
https://maps.google.com/maps?safe=off&q ... CCYQ8gEwAA
this is right at the Little Blue River, they'll add a pedestrian bridge over the interstate, which we need more of everywhere

Re: Lee's Summit Soccer Megacomplex
So we are at a point where Youth Sports complexes are costing almost as much as Baseball Stadiums?

Paragon Star, the $250 million sports complex-anchored project in Lee’s Summit, is pushing forward.
William Brown, the project coordinator for Paragon Star, told the Kansas City Business Journal on Thursday that the project is gaining more traction now that its associated transportation development district has been approved, which will help with infrastructure. Brown and Flip Short are the developers of Paragon Star, which submitted a preliminary development plan for a portion of the project to Lee's Summit earlier this week.
The project has two parts: a sports complex that includes 10 regulation soccer fields, and a commercial development with retail, restaurants, hotels and apartments. Brown said the team is completing its mass grading across the 100-acre development. He anticipates the soccer fields will be open for games in the spring of 2020.

Re: Lee's Summit Soccer Megacomplex
Would be great if all ten soccer fields had a grandstand - its what makes me mad about OPSC.

Re: Lee's Summit Soccer Megacomplex
Is a Ferris wheel that will never happen required in a percentage of all conceptual documents?

Who wouldn't want to ride a Ferris wheel in an East Jax greenfield. Imagine the fantastic views of trees and parking. Very nice.

I don't get the ferris wheel. I'm sure it's just for the renderings and will never happen.
