Re: NHL OR NBA, let the message board decide!!

I think when they say the right team, they mean an owner and franchise that's economically stable, and has a good to great history. Two examples, were the Pens, who had new ownership but had a great history with the potential to sell lots of tickets long term, and with a national following. The Nash...

Re: NHL OR NBA, let the message board decide!!

I'm going to say, AEG doesn't allow a group with an expansion team to play in the Sprint Center. Remember they are quoted as saying numerous times it has to be the right team. An expansion team in my opinion would not meet that criteria. Now, if the Boston Celtics wanted to relocate and play in the ...

Re: We need a new airport!!!

SAVEKCI compares the new KCI with what Atlanta is?!?! They are obviously targeting people that aren't in the know of domestic airport traffic. Anybody on KCRAG knows, you cannot compare KCI now,(10,000,000) or what it will become with ATL (90,000,000). Those guys on SAVEKCI should lose all credibili...

Re: We need a new airport!!!

Why don't they build a single entry gate between B and C, open the terminals up again, and keep some of the multiple exits with the round drives? Is that even possible? it's not the two terminals you describe aren't closed to make a connector with a single entry gate would mean not using the multip...

Re: We need a new airport!!!

None of which will be final until the day it opens, if even then. Don't hold your breath for something that will never look the way it was originally presented. I fully expect there to be fluff in all that's been presented thus far. That's why I said, instead of trying to incorporate technology that...

Good. Streamline the new terminal construction. Yes, it looks like they are lining everything up for a quick demolition so they can start construction on the new terminal once funding is in place. =D> And if that funding never comes? :oops: :lol: =D> We'll see......Kind of curious who the architect...

Re: 2013 CHIEFS!

I'm okay with Bowe. Just hope that eventually he can learn to catch passes that are important with winning a game. I think Colquitt was a good re-sign. The kicker that the Chiefs really need to evaluate is their field goal kicker.

Re: We need a new airport!!!

I wonder if these cost issues are because Mr. VanLoh wants too much in a medium sized airport???? I think he better start looking at a blueprint(Indianapolis) that will fit in the $1.2 billion budget, and still please everyone. http://www.hntb.com/sites/default/files/AI_11_2012_Airports-of-the-futur...

I still think they are over paying.

Re: Collison's development wish-list for 2013

Housing, hotel, and the announcement of an extended streetcar route. I think with the right plan, the hotel could be one part of the housing solution. I think once the population of DT increases, the resturaunts, and retail will follow.

Is this really an issue about gun control (afterall the weapons involved with legally obtained) or is the issue we should focus on is mental health and how we treat it? There can be some changes with regards to gun control, like passing the law that was in force from the 90's to 2004 with some modi...

After careful considerations I vote NAY! Too much of a lateral move away from Cassel IMO.
