Re: New Chiefs Stadium

And why can't the county/city step up and stay they plan to clean up the area as much as they can? Install landscaping and sidewalks and crosswalks along Blue Ridge. Mention that the city/county plan do everything they can to stop the cancerous blight from getting worse in the area. There has to be...

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

I guess I was just hoping for a more compensative renovation of Arrowhead to truly modernize it so it looks less like a 1960 stadium with a press box slapped onto the side of it. I mean keep the bowl as is, redo the middle level (the yellow seats just look odd and they are often not full). But most...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

New baseball stadium downtown has my yes vote if they can be cool with the neighborhood I was, even though my mind isn’t completely made up, but Hunt has made me question the vote and maybe come back in August with something better. Royals got my vote. Sherman should go kick little prick Clark in t...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Why not a glass exoskeleton to make the stadium look more modern with LED light displays incorporated in the glass? Something that says “wow”. Because they're spending the money on things that make the actual experience modern... Anything that would have obstructed the original shape of the bowl wa...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I was a strong Yes on the April vote and have spent considerable time on the Waldo Neighborhood page as to why, all related to the Royals announcement. Now I’m not sure. The Chiefs (Hunt) have really deflated my expectations for a “re-envisioned Arrowhead”. Clark Hunt has come off like a cheap ass a...

Re: Three Light

Awesome pics Grid. The original rendering of the Hyatt/Lowes Hotel was about 45 floors I believe, that would have been significant. But alas, we get a 23 story hotel. If 4L is 40 floors or more, it will add some height and partially block 1KCP I believe. Not as worried about height, I'd rather have ...

Re: Three Light

Are those garages open to the public if there is an event downtown? I always park at 1KCP since that is where my office is. Just curious.

Edit: and awesome pics last gentleman.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Royals also drew a lot of fans from Western KS/Eastern CO before the Rockies came to Denver. A lot of those folks are now Rockies fans.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I’d say until the Royals are no longer on this list, the attempt to win over the public on a new stadium discourse is DOR. https://i.imgur.com/XIryVC6.jpg People have to be educated on why the Royals payroll is on the low end. Second smallest market in MLB. An aging stadium that I have heard genera...

Re: 500 foot mixed use tower considered for downtown

I'll take more towers but downtown needs infill tbh Yep. North loop parking lots and Crossroads are prime for infill projects. Need a dozen more 10-15 story buildings, whether commercial, apartments or hotels. I just don’t see the demand for high rise commercial in KC or most cities, post COVID. My...

Re: NBA to Kansas City

KC's best chance is to get an NBA team is relocation, i.e. NO Pelicans. We most likely won't get an expansion team w/o an ownership group with deep pockets and the NBA actually picking KC over Seattle (not going to happen) or LV. I don't get the desire about LV. It's a very transient city.

I haven't seen him post for years. I don't post as much as I used too either. He used to show progress/work on restoring his Waldo house, but that's been years.

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)

Planet Sub in Waldo is closing. Not really surprised. During lunch, there would only be a handful of people in there and I think their quality was hit and miss. They should move over to Wornall where they would be more visible.

Re: Make Grand Grand

Did they rebuild the crumbling sidewalks? And what are these half moons? And I agree, trees and planting boxes would do wonders from a pedestrian walking that stretch, especially when it’s 100 degrees out.

Re: World Cup 2026 at Arrowhead?

Denver is almost twice the size of KC. Hm? I don't want to derail the thread even more, but Denver's urbanized area is approaching 3 million and KC's is 1.6. Their urbanized area is also twice as dense, plus the rest of the front range urbanized areas are close. The 1990s "Denver is just KC wi...

That would be ideal, but not even a high rise. Most buildings over there are low rise, so something similar to the St. Louis design I would be good with.

Re: Amenities missing from downtown

I would think one of the empty lots around 7th-8th along Main or Baltimore would be a great area for an urban Target. Right on the streetcar and several lots ripe for development. Plus walking distance from Rivermarket.
