Hasn’t Abbot already verbally committed to doing exactly that though?

This tells me how much work needs to be done to the structure itself and hence reinforces why the Royals didn't want to deal with that. I think it's a good renovation that will be well received, the video was just not at all good. That’s the point I’ve been making this entire campaign. NFL funding ...

God Inner-Ring Suburb NIMBYs are something else

Still my favorite all time P&L tenant. IN MY OPINION: I really wonder what would have happened had its legs not been cut. Lots of places start strong but then taper off. It was good though! I'm glad BRGR is there, and I like it but it's not quite as good. Still wonder why we don't have a pizza ...

KC Tenants Impact: Stalled or cancelled 19 projects comprising 172 vertical floors of construction, eliminating 4,400 proposed units of housing, 1,200 hotel rooms, and $3,721,900,000 worth of development. Source? I don’t doubt they have impacted development, but other factors such as interest rates...

Wednesday 10am pretty pictures come out. Guessing about 90% of visible changes will be an outside shell versus changes to seating/bowl. Probably also a titletown type situation. Re-sharing from previous discussions: Technology; All new sound system. New video. New lighting system that’s all LED and...

I know a restaurant owner in the RM and spoke to him right after the meters went in. He could care less about where his customers park but he was very concerned about his employees. The meters have time limits and they have to run out and feed them during their shift and can barely afford the cost,...

TBD if it sticks.

That’s a good bit of capacity

Convention center is only like 375k in pretty sure

Maybe for people familiar with downtown. Those unfamiliar probably don't know enough to know how far the "hassle" from a game extends. But the rest of my post is really about how all the things many of us wish for (greater employment, more housing, more events, conventions etc...) is goin...

…any business that doesn't cater to baseball fans that's open during the evening will be screwed by this. Look at the NFL Draft as an example… This is a pretty disingenuous false equivalency. A sealed and secure single weekend event that caters primarily to out of town guest exclusively for that ev...

Why isn't there a concentrated push to counter misperceptions about parking? Or that some of the revenue from the hotel/conference center would go into the team payroll instead of the owner's pockets? Or the benefit of reducing subsidies to the P&L? Or that taking the streetcar could result in ...

That’s an assault on the senses

Is that the case? I had seen on their website they are still intending to expand passenger service

Your subjective feeling on a word doesn’t negate the published definition:

Correct. The second Busch Stadium was there before Eagleton was built. Security requirements were different back then than they are now. Such a project likely wouldn’t occur today (example: Feds have played with demoing some buildings in Chicago that are too close to one of their buildings. I can’t...

I do think there's time to get the word out. If for some reason this vote fails, I think we can expect another try in the fall and if that fails, we have lost our one chance at downtown baseball. They will not be renovating Kauffman and they just need to say that, amongst other things. They need to...

I honestly had no idea the extent to which something like having other buildings nearby would affect the feds' view of security of their own buildings. I mean the presence of other building wouldn't seem to affect the possibility of a truck borne IED... maybe sniper attacks..? I digress because I'm...
