Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

https://i.imgur.com/QyEkFhA.jpeg The top two outlined structures are the FAA/FTA building, and it’s associated parking garage, the southern is the Richard Bolling federal facility, and it’s associated parking infrastructure. The cost that FPS, GSA, and by extension the American tax payer is liable ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

That’s the infuriating part, is the anti-downtown stadium types have hijacked the messaging coming from the EC skeptics and turned their message equally into an anti downtown stadium

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

The Royals and Chiefs have over a million dollars to spend on this campaign as of today but there’s been nothing. They’re trying to be sensitive to the tragedy our City experienced last week which I understand but they need to hit back at all the negativity out there. Of course they want a United f...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

It's funny about the Feds concerns about safety. I know times are different now but I remember there was a post office in the building open to the public. Commercial businesses were at street level on the south side (one was a jeweler I knew). The public could come in and eat a cheap lunch at the c...

Color me skeptical on the Feds shut this down narrative that is now bubbling up. We all know the Feds can present obstacles to get projects to completion, but just like the FAA there are exceptions given all the time.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Damn it I meant to go to that. You must have been too busy throwing out wild allegations and speculations as absolute truths. The main entrance to the site would’ve been barely a block from the main vehicle entrance and loading dock area of the Fed building, and a block and a half from the front do...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Not the only issue, but security concerns raised by GSA and FPS at the Federal building, as well as the FTA & FAA buildings meant that the site was ruled out. It’s annoying for sure, but it doesn’t outlaw development in EV forever, just not things that generate large crowds regularly. If this i...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Oak closing to vehicle traffic is a non-starter is the issue. Having that many thoroughfares over 670 closed (when you include the Cap closures and Grands frequency of closure) destroys any hope of Streetcar being functional unless Main was closed to vehicle traffic and became a transit-way. It see...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Oak is closed for sure on the renderings we've all seen. Truman is tunneled under the park cap. While I know closing Oak is hated by some, it creates a really cool pedestrian experience. The bridge over Truman funnels to the upper concourse which is acts as an outfield plaza in between the building...

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

Almost a year since opening and people are still happy with the new terminal over the old ones. You love to see and hear it! except some people who fly little who now have to walk a little more Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans annually. I don’t care if people have to walk :lol:

Re: OFFICIAL - KC Star Printing Press

Could the same argument be made about baseball? I know the rule changes last year caused a slight bump in viewership and attendance but the long-term trend has been negative. Younger sports fans seem to prefer basketball and soccer. Baseball is an old man sport. Are we going to look at replacing a ...
