Re: Rail to KCI - 2023

They only studied only running a bus once every 30 or 60 minutes? What a joke. Should have at least studied a frequency of every 15 or 20 minutes...

Literally nobody is interested in riding a bus that only runs once an hour, what a waste of money studying that.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

This is about downtown Kansas City finally knowing our worth. We don’t have to desperately take any deal brought to the table and deals have to be fair. We shouldn’t be negotiating from a place of weakness, like we did with Cordish and P&L. In the past 20 years, there are a few new five over on...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

So... What happens if the county sales tax passes but the team can't get the money from the city and state? Are we paying to maintain a non-existent stadium for the next 40 years? The money has already been discussed with the leaders of those two entities agreeing to go to bat for the team. No pun ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

The royals just doomed the vote. How out of touch and stupid is their ownership? Every day gets worse. Both teams are being extremely shady and I no longer blame anyone for not trusting anything. I've been saying all along things feel fishy,l and that they royals are lying shit things. this new arti...

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

How many here would rather see the Chiefs build a new stadium in Kansas than renovate Arrowhead? I'm not totally sure I would support it, but I really do think I would entertain the idea now. I'm just not impressed with the Hunts plans for Arrowhead. They would be dead to me if they move to Kansas....

you aren't completely embarrassed? Almost every city has figured out urban baseball except us. Baseball does not belong in the suburbs.

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

I wonder how much being in KC School district is holding back the area? If KC could get TSC area flipped from KCSD to Raytown or Indp. school districts would that make it any more desirable for a mixed use development full of apts? If they could get a target, a strip mall with chipotle and places th...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

This is not a secret mission they hope fails for some other purpose. They’re spending real money on this effort and while it could have all been so much better regarding how it’s been handled, there’s nothing fishy. You have two sports teams who have a lot going on. Neither owner is a developer and...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I got my first YouTube ad today saying to vote yes.

It was a nice feel good ad with a lot of Chiefs highlights, some royals, taking about legacy and stuff. And of course no new taxes and keep the teams in Jackson Co was the main things they hit on. No shots of either stadium plan.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I think one thing we can all agree on, both the Royals and Chiefs have out of touch owners with zero charisma. Both had the worst stadium reveals with zero pizazz. We are the stadium design capitol of the world and both were massive letdowns. Populus is overrated. I like the crossroads location and ...

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

Did they clarify if that 25 years starts now, or starts in 2031? Locking the Chiefs there until 2049 or 2056? It sounds like from the ballot language the 40 years tax extension starts the clock over this year, so running through 2064. Even best case scenario, that's a 8 year gap between 2056 and 206...

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

Anyone else in here long term season ticket holder? Wondering what the different feelings amongst various groups are. STM's, a few games a year attendees, TV viewers/fans? Arrowhead is a treasure. You don't need to change it dramatically and building a new stadium would be a 2.5 billion dollar ende...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I was curious how many cities have urban vs suburban stadiums. I know the south is full of suburban stadiums so I didn't even research there, but in the heartland it's almost entirely urban baseball. Literally every AA, AAA, and MLB stadium in this circle are Urban except the Royals organization and...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I've been told we will be seeing and hearing from the Chiefs this week after delaying due to the parade shooting. Royals will start up their activity soon as well and while it's very common for CBA's to not be finalized before a vote, they're trying to get it done. Any idea what day? I'm getting an...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

We are literally not even comparable to STL. They have been in that location since the white flight urban renewal era when they also bulldozed like 100 square blocks for the arch. Plus their previous stadium had a 60,000 seat capacity when all that parking was built compared to our 34,000. Anyone ma...
