Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a 20K MLB baseball stadium would be a bit light. However I think about 30-35K would be a good sweet spot of the Royals and teams in similar markets. But no reason for KC to be 40K.

Re: Develop the area around the TSC?
Interesting listing. Wonder what was there before or if it was just old homestead land? Ironic the listing is under Bill Maas in the shadow of his old employer.

Re: Westport
I agree the weekday crowds are much less than the weekends. However I think the area needs to maybe cater more to a crowd looking to eat & drink and have a good time but not "college town rager bars". Those places were fun in college and fun after college. But with the mix of eateries ...

Re: Bonner Springs
Really looks like they will bank on this thing drawing from the region more so than just KC. Good for KC to at least take a shot and continue to invest in the area. Kind of stinks that the rest of KCK is still lacking but maybe with the Panasonic Plant going up there will be opportunities for the gr...

Re: OFFICIAL - Buck O'Neil Bridge
Love the idea. Especially removing the dangerous on & off ramps in the North Loop. If they did that at min it would be better. However for this to really work an entire revamp of the east Loop would be necessary. Lucky there is room to do it the way it sets up now but that needs to be solved to ...

Re: OFFICIAL - Pennway Point
I understand the building is not very pretty and I agree seems like a lot of wasted space but my guess is it was built exactly to spec when it was constructed. AS mentioned if they consolidate to one facility it's nice to know KC is the spot and those jobs ultimately help the METRO. KC has a very po...

Well, it’s not. But if this is what he’s posting, it’s because it’s true. They aren’t going anywhere besides to one of our surrounding counties (at the worst). And I’m not really scared about that too much if it’s the Chiefs. All the fear about Chiefs moving to Dallas and Royals to a dozen other pl...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Weird, the people who make these decisions disagree with you. Today at least. Not sure how many times I'm going to have to explain how Cordish played a role here. They wanted downtown baseball, they didn't twist arms into the East Crossroads site. There was some nudging but it wasn't by Cordish. We...

I hope this will make the Royals & Chiefs comeback to the drawing board with better thought out & details plans that show a commitment to transformational development. However I’m more concerned that there is an undercurrent of uninformed & misguided groups whose anti development rhetori...

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 I'm ...

Re: KC metro growth and migration stats
Well KCMO just invested a lot into infrastructure within Clay County within the last 5 yrs, especially in a corridor long 169 & 152 HWY's. So they are ready to grow for sure. I mean from the Metro North Crossing, parking lot looking South you can see the city skyline. The county is well position...

Re: KC metro growth and migration stats
Nice to see Clay county on the MO side give JOCO some competition. So much room for growth up here in Clay & Platte county. Basically all residential growth, with mega employers /giant corporate campuses. If downtown could ever gain a major HQ or have some moderate sized companies locate downtow...

Re: New mixed use tower at 8th and Grand
as with all development in the last 5 years I'm excited, especially for something in the North Loop which has been underserved in the downtown development boom as of late. But the skeptic in me see this as being a maybe, as it appears so many other exciting projects have been booted, delayed, or sto...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Royals will end up downtown no matter this vote. I'd place a large amount of money on it I agree and I would encourage anyone to vote no this time around because it will result in a better deal. If I'm wrong and the Royals end up playing Clay County or Nashville in a few years I won't lose a wink o...

Do people in KC say the word "parking" more than people in any other place in the world? Serious question. Wish there was a way to find out. Well I’d say the US adopted car centric travel & designed city growth & planning around it when places like Europe had very few cars & u...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I support downtown stadium 100%. Was in the crossroads tonight, East Crossroads, after dinner. It was buzzing with activity. As I drove through the area and around the proposed site I gathered some more perspective. Crossroads will thrive without the stadium. But stadium could really help jump start...

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal
Flying changed to basically being buses with wings sometime in the late 90's earlier 2000's. The discount airlines and such catering to people wanting/needing to fly cheap. Also didn't help that every major carrier started to merge and the consumer was left with little choices. Once the board rooms ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I guess the big upside will be improved pedestrian experience north, south, west & east where parking will be located. Improved lighting, better streetscapes, and perhaps more street level retail activation in areas not just immediate to the stadium. Plus an increased presence of police & se...

Re: Fixing the KC Zoo (ongoing)
That “tropical” Africa has some nice animals. The Gorilla enclosure & the Leopards are cool. I like that space back in the tree canopy to give a different feel from the more Serengeti setting. But I agree the zoo is spread out making it a bit tiring for sure to walk it all. But we should really ...
