Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

In the Crossroads just now and it's pretty quiet with the only real foot traffic really being people in town for the Big 12 wrestling tournament. You can't tell me that the city is in a position to refuse this, it's madness bordering on selfishness.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Reading KC tenants twitter they are actually attracting a lot of mocking and ridicule in the comments of their posts and not just those with Royals or Chiefs logos in their display photos, but normal people. Almost like they are useful idiots for the yes vote in some ways as much of their content co...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Had to laugh hard at the Chiefs mentioning the environment and efforts to reduce carbon emissions. You're literally adding parking to an area with no transit and 20k spaces already. This shit is doomed.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

In the event of a no vote I struggle to foresee a scenario where the much smaller Clay County votes through both a more expensive tax for it's residents but also where they feel like sloppy seconds because Jackson County said no.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Another major point for me from this is losing the teams to Kansas further pulls the epicenter of the metro away from Downtown and further south and west into the Kansas suburbs which I think is being heavily overlooked. The two major teams are one huge thing Jackson County and Missouri still holds ...

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

As part of the CBA for me there absolutely would have to be provision for gameday shuttle service from Downtown at the very least and also potentially other parts of the metro.

I’m disappointed we aren’t getting a mixed-use component to this, but I’m never going to say “never” to that one. The Hunts have other things in mind from what I’ve been told on that front.
Any idea what? Relocation of HQ/practice facility and surrounding development?

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

Can't even tell us the capacity. What did we say about transparency?

Even the average joe loses out when potentially the capacity is reduced to accommodate more suites or corporate expansion.

This entire vote is basically Royals only. I don't even know what you could market for the Chiefs...the new suites? Wow.
Its fucked. This is lipstick on top of a pig.

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

Looks shit. Parking and some tiny canopy over what is Kauffman.

I bet they capacity is slightly reduced too to make way for more club seats so the regular joe loses out.

Fescoe saying this morning that both teams have "significantly better publicly funded offers" from other jurisdictions in the local area but wish to remain loyal to Jackson County in the first instance. However if the vote fails April 2 all bets are off and they'll be open to anything. So ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Seen a semi viral tweet today from another prominent local activist against this whilst a couple of posts later lording it up in a suite at the St. Louis Blues game earlier. Got to love the dedication to the grift.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

The thing is, all the negativity is based off of lies. Sure, there’s some concern about the businesses that would need to relocate but most of the outrage is based on flat out false information. The biggest one being that tax payers are going to pay for the village portion and it’s a plot for John ...

Just woke up and checked the Facebook feed and friends of mine sharing outright ridiculous and bordering on aggressive anti stadium propaganda and these people I'd consider dyed in the wool Democrat voters. Just goes to show how embedded the suburban mentality is in this city and a near ignorance re...
