Re: Buc-ee's Gas Station

Good spot along I-70 for thus traveling to the West and those coming in East. I believe I heard when they were first rumored to be coming to MO that and area around KC on the MO side would be considered. I was thinking something on the East side of town for the busy stretch between KC & STL. But...

Must be trying to figure out the best solution to engineer the structure to support the pool planned for that portion that currently has no roof.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I just looked up attendance out of curiosity. Cardinals rank 6th in MLB with average of 37k. Royals are averaging 15k per game and rank 28th in the MLB for attendance. https://www.espn.com/mlb/attendance I said in person attendance. They’ve had alot of pretty empty days, not that we don’t either. Y...

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

interesting to see KS make such a push and really sell their soul to try to get the Chiefs and maybe the Royals over to the KS side. Interesting to see the requirement for the funding includes the team having to invest 1 billion in order to receive the 100% financing. But regardless it is all very f...

Re: World Cup 2026 at Arrowhead?

why would KC drop out of 2031? We would regress as a host city for women's WC & women's soccer in general by 2031? Obviously some advantages for 2027 with men's WC having been hosted the year before. But I would think focusing on 2031 would allow the US to better prepare their bid. Just curious ...

Obviously they were already hit when Oracle moved the HQ to Austin and now it's moving to Nashville. Obviously companies running from the high taxes in CA.

Re: Westport

My guess is the owners made money in their investment and were put off by rising costs & the fact that if they wanted to continue to make money it would take more time & energy on their part. Pure speculation on my part. But bars & restaurants are riddled with history of owners loving th...

Re: Possible USOPC Training Center KCI

my guess is there is a lot of cheap land available for facilities that will sprawl a bit as per the requirements of square footage. Plus a super close location to the airport will make it very easy for athletes and their families, coaches, etc. be able to get in and out quickly as the majority of th...

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.

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.

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 ...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...
