Utah had an organized onwership group. Can't miss a shot you dont even take
Yeah. Agree with you was just more sharing my frustration. It’s also clear AEG doesn’t want a tenant either.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I’m not saying let’s find the view first and go from there. that's literally all I'm saying. Some are picking sites or hating on EV because the view is bad. It's inconsequential when making a huge urban splash like a downtown stadium is. It feels like you’re saying views don’t matter at all which i...

My name is Andrew woodward. . Happy to stand by what I say. Yes, I’ve known this for a long time Chad. I’ve asked everyone I know in the industry if they know you and haven’t found one person yet. Your drinking buddies aren’t reliable sources. Who uses the word Chad? I've been kind enough to you. S...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

They literally in the last 48 hours changed their tune on Oak and "well figure out east of oak after the vote". There was no confidence put in the mind of the voter at that point. There was no plans, if there were they would have been able to share better details and no change literally e...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I stand by everything I said. Which is nothing that’s not public and the rest is just your opinion but said as if you have some kind of sinister inside information. Maybe add a few “in my opinion” or “I believe” to your statements because you like to say things thinly veiled on this idea you have s...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

My concern was never with the star either, but there was no engagement. My concern was what happens to to the surrounding area. I wanted to make sure it wouldn't remain parking for the foreseeable future. I had questions about the street closures and the Truman stuff. I said before that why I liked...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Ftr, we can go through your posts where you confirmed it. I'm very confident I know conversations happened which caused things to change with the people I said. Anyone who reads the local media knows this. You don’t have any evidence or confidential information. I’m not implying conversations did n...

Re: Misc Crossroads News

Because the Star Printing Press is still on the mind of folks, I was told that it was recently considered a contender for a Target. That idea is more likely than not dead at this point. If people would like for it to be kept, I think you should demolish the southern half and keep the northern glass...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

We have to quit worrying about outfield views. It's so unimportant. Case in point royals wanted a stadium with at&t building as the backdrop. So lucky they aren't being this vein. This is one of your worst opinions you’ve consistently held. Views matter. You think Petco would be the gem it is w...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Remove the need for a public vote and this site still makes sense. Although I know you want to save the star building. It doesn't make sense to enough people, though. So best to just move on unless you've really got the time and energy to engage and commit to doing things differently. On top of the...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

The development history of the Crossroads tells another story. Lots of adaptive reuse. (Relatively) lots of new multifamily construction. Hot office submarket (pre-COVID). Best restaurants in the city. One of the country's top hotels (which is adaptive reuse). Lively brewery/distillery scene. Argua...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

My dream site remains the Manual Tech/ATA site: there's an entertainment district already built, that we already subsidize. It's investment on the east side, the Negro Leagues history is there, it would bridge the Crossroads to East Side gap, there's room to include parking structures in the plan, ...

Re: Westport

Alehouse shut down because it went for the quick cash and not the long play. They reformatted the music and tried to be a bottle service type nightclub opposed the original idea of a great sports and beer bar.
