Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
A northwest orientation would be a big outlier within the MLB. the red arrows in that graph are indoor stadiums where orientation isn't an issue. There are a lot more oriented southeast. If north loop is still in play you could do that and have killer views plus be right on the streetcar stop.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
The County might not 'play ball' for the jail site and/or with that location they could potentially insert themselves and have too much leverage on the process. I agree it is the best site.

Re: Freight House Podium Project - 20th and Walnut
So is Lux's project for this right now just building the one new building with 250 units? I thought it involved renovating the storage building too, and maybe even some other abandoned buildings. Lux is only developing the multifamily residential component. The warehouse renovations and office towe...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
These sites are TERRIBLE. They'd require massive amounts of demolition of occupied historic building stock. Properties owned by dozens of parties not necessarily in 'friendly' hands. I mean, if Abbott Properties isn't interested in selling, you can forget about the East Crossroads on the east side o...

No, the original images (linked or posted earlier in thread?) showed the Ferris wheel on the northern edge by the rail lines:
The southern location is new.

Re: OFFICIAL: The Legends at Village West
Drove past on I-70 yesterday and noticed a construction crane up in The Legends area. Anyone know what's going up? probably this https://www.lukedraily.com/Projects/legends-267/ 8 story 'Mid Rise Urban Apartments'...if they built this in the river market or mid-town, they'd call it a high rise!

Re: Phase 2 streetcar to North Kansas City
7 stops in NKC seems excessive. 5 is probably too many.
The couplet makes sense but no need to add a stop southbound on 3rd when one exists just past Grand.

If NSPJ architects or bland, beige suburban retail inspired 'emulated' historic architecture is involved, I may just puke.Chris Stritzel wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 12:33 pm I'm involved in this one. I won't go into details that much, but it'll be a warm and friendly design.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
On game days, where more eating and drinking is involved having a large complex capable of handling hundreds or thousands of fans is crucial. Ah, yes.

Re: Three Light
It seems to me that there is also a sealed off tunnel running under 10th Street from the Public Library (from when it was First National Bank) to either the Land Bank building (now Hanover Lofts) or the old New England Bank Building (now 21Ten Lofts). I'm not familiar with this one, but there is de...

Nope Kansas is still its state. And no I'm not worried about Wichita taking money away but it just goes to show how far behind we are in this from literally every other city, even the puny ones. Yes, Kansas. And western Missouri, even down into Arkansas somewhat. And eastern Nebraska. And southwest...

We’re letting little bitty Wichita beat us to making a ballpark district all because they’re scared of some suburban dads with 3 year olds in JoCo? Who is 'we'?

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
You'd still need to level all the buildings to the east and west, plus vacate McGee and Oak, and you just might have enough space for a ballpark here.
Hard pass.
