This mess is all on Frank White. Chiefs will remain at Arrowhead. Royals will end up downtown, Clay County can't get the vote and NKC can't afford them alone. Even if the county fails us like the fools they are, we have the city of Kansas City and the big dogs, the state of Missouri. Ok, going away ...

Chiefs and Royals could move to Kansas if stadium talks fail, Jackson County lawmaker warns ... However, Jackson County 1st District Legislator Manny Abarca IV says he worries that Kansas City may have missed its shot to secure the stadium. Abarca, who chairs the county’s Stadium Improvements Commi...

Armory looks more like an indoor Pennway point. Let's not waste anymore time trying to make an comparisons. It's just not applicable. I have first hand knowledge on the St Louis situation. They both have concerts, events and utilize large LED displays to show sports. I helped design certain aspects...

Royals taking soil samples in NKC Wtf? https://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/news/2023/11/22/kc-royals-nkc-geotechnology-americo-stadium-site.html What sucks is they can’t do these very basic things as part of the process without the media sniffing it out which just makes things look even more con...

Yes.

EV stadium site and p&l will absolutely compliment each other. It's laughable to think otherwise. People who get paid a lot of money and do this type of thing as a career disagree with you to an extent. They CAN compliment each other but that requires effort and some intervention on the cities ...

If we do go with the EV site, I'd like to see the currently empty lots north of the T-mobile center saved as a view corridor between P&L and the new stadium so you could literally see the two areas from each other as a pedestrian/tourist. If you remove the ugly concrete municipal courthouse and...

Not necessary. People can navigate a few blocks of the city without this direct path. In reality, I'd bet most people will come to watch the game and quickly leave anyway. This is not what we see in other cities. I'm not sure if it's "most" people, but many people arrive early to eat and ...

File this under urban living pet peeves but I agree this is incredibly frustrating. Especially all the people illegally parked on 13th by Cosentinos and yardhouse. When they’re loading a concert into the midland and people are also parked illegally on the south side of 13th, that stretch is a mess ...

I don't want to spread the love downtown because it's easy. I want to push the vitality of downtown further out because it needs to be done. I do think the Baseball district and P&L could complement each other. What would you presume they wouldn't complement each other? I don't really want Cord...

Spreading the love downtown just because it’s the easiest thing to do is shortsighted in my opinion. Creating multiple but similar tax financed projects near each other that don’t compliment each other is just bad planning. Cordish will help get the EV site done as well. They understand downtown bas...

The Rag is getting desperate here. This project simply doesn't have the support Sherman fucked it all up. According to what you see on social media? Buddy it's been a few months since there supposed announcement that still hasn't been made and a year into this thing with new sites getting thrown ou...

Um, no, he said he would make it profitable. In... <looks at watch> like six months from now. Destroying twitter for the greater good of humanity would, indeed, be a noble if misguided cause, but anyone who believes that was the reason for the acquisition, or that it was done out of benevolence (an...

somebody can go ahead and give this to the Royals, I'm designing the stadium for free... You can Easily fit a baseball stadium (this is roughly a 30k seat stadium, using a Royals Urban academy field which has fences that are 8 to 10 feet shorter than the K. Also can fit a soccer field. Saves a big ...

This is the main reason Cordish got involved. They have a history of working with this city to get things done. They got involved with the convention hotel too behind the scenes when things were looking a mess. The were involved with the cap. Now they’re trying to help the royals accomplish downtow...

I think their biggest failure was being too open and honest as they are going through the process to the public. I think the real problem was the lengths of silence. I think it would’ve been alright to be open about shopping around if we got more frequent updates. As it was, the lengths of silence ...

honestly the whole process makes the Royals Ownership look like bumbling fools. They say good things, the right things, then go silent for months. Come back with some nonsense and now we are 2 steps back from where we were. Then the release some renderings and say good things, 1 step forward. Then ...

Gotta be movement soon so they can get the vote on the ballot. I'd like all this to get going tomorrow but a part of me thinks maybe they should move the goalposts on this and not try and get this on the April ballot. The Chiefs will own the minds of KC residents until mid February (hopefully) and ...

If any of you have a modot person in your life, send them that rendering and then just mute the chat. (I am signing off soon, it's a long walk to the river) Totally. They haven’t even signed off on the lid. Has there been a single bit of indication they won't? I've not heard or read anything to sho...

I think (pure speculation) there are multiple factors in play. EV - Progress wasn't happening. Pushback by the city and others concerned it could have a negative impact to other investments that the city relies on tax revenues to pay back bonds. NKC - Dead E. Crossroads - We've gone over the complic...
