Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

The bottom one cost around $500m and that is for a bigger football stadium. Others are similar. It doesn’t cost that much more to make something visually appealing, it just takes some care to make something that will last instead of just focusing on the money. $500m 15 years ago and it’s fairly bar...

Re: T-Mobile Center (formerly Sprint Center)

So just using numbers from 2024, you would add 41 (actually typically more including preseason and playoff games). Lets round to 70 for a high-performing peer and 60 for a low-performing arena in games + concerts. KC: 43 concerts, 26 Big 12 games and KC is already about tied with an NBA or NHL city...

Re: T-Mobile Center (formerly Sprint Center)

If it were only that easy. Kansas City isn’t an anchor market when it comes to touring acts. They route through and if a date they want isn’t available they’ve got other choices and will simply skip the market. Toss in needing to work around a pro team schedule and you’d 100% lose several concert da...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

The Royals allowed a pro-life group who advocates and spreads info about birth centers.... How dare they make sure women who are pregnant have safe options to give birth! Easily the stupidest thing I've seen posted here, bravo It’s clear you haven’t been on here very long but if you think a group g...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Can agree this discussion about Jill Cockson has gotten petty, cringe, and personal. Can there be a separate thread for discussions about citizen influencers of KC? From people I know who voted no they had no idea who Jill is or her feelings on the topic. Their no vote was based on one major thing ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

You don't get it, she alienated half the population as soon as she opened. She's had the no Trump-ware, no MAGA bullshit since day one and somehow has still thrived and expanded. In a years time, she will still be around, but there still won't be a ballpark in the Crossroads. Put the Royals back in...

She opened herself up to criticism by going public with flat out slanderous attacks on anyone who supported...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

She's back at it. Misinformation and smear campaign in full force. In my opinion, you should sue her. Well I personally wouldn't sue her but I do think some people should, including Matt Abbott. However, you just give her a bigger platform at that point. She's been emboldened by the same 25 people ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

The Cardinals are not asking for any money at this time. The only thing they've said is that at some point, there will been to be some capital invested into the stadium to extend its life. They've also said it is way too early for anyone to be saying they're asking for public money.
