I’m sure they will build one over by I29 & another location in Liberty to serve the Northland like everything else they build up here in the same spots

hope the momentum continues in this area and they can create a nice & welcoming connection to the Crossroads. Also Hoping it will spur some development along Truman Rd. Would be great to see it developed more from Grand to Paseo. Get that rolling and then look to go beyond

hope they eventually bury all those overhead lines around the wheel & area. I like what they have done & excited to see a new area open up. But those powerlines are distracting.

wait a minute, an NHL team is playing in a 5000 seat capacity arena? How does that happen? I mean Cable Dahmer Arena is about the same capacity right? I do not follow hockey closely but I would think KC could easily get an NHL team if Coyotes are in a 5000 seat arena. Geesh. The Coyotes got booted ...

5 thousand seats is way smaller than you might imagine. This is a rendering of the new 5 thousand seat arena that the Arizona Coyotes will be playing in. (Why are they still in Arizona?) https://dmt55mxnkgbz2.cloudfront.net/800x0_s3-50848-Screen-Shot-2020-12-30-at-10_08_20-AM.jpg It will be even sm...

I just asked myself the same question as I was driving over it last SAT at night. It is very dark, almost to the point I would consider it a hazard. Not even street lights on the thing. They need to do something. An artistic lighting would be neat but just basic road safety would be a good start. FY...

curious. What if we scrapped the Jackson County sports commission and created a true Metro wide Sports Authority of sorts. Where we look at professional sports stadiums and such but a metro/regional approach. So we create a Kansas City Regional Sports Authority and look to get all counties in the Me...

I’m a bit biased being from & living in the Northland, but NorthPoint is a good company with some great success stories. They built their business and really became a major player & built a solid culture with their company. Could be poised to be a Cerner 2.0 up here to better long term succe...

Somewhat related, I see NorthPoint Development has taken over for Lux on an apartment development in STL, as per KCBJ. I believe that project had yet to start so a little easier to change hands. But it had not occurred to me that a company like NorthPoint might be a good fit for projects that Lux ha...

If needed, could it be feasible for another developer to pick up the project and finish it? Obviously they would have to buy the property and such, based on a number of future value etc. But if there is a developer that can come in a finish off what was started I would think it might be appealing. I...

If it's making them decide between KC side or KS side I'd call it poaching. I agree with you if it is end up in KS or not have MLB or NFL in town, then KS it is. I also 100% agree the Jackson County leadership is completely failing the constituents. I suspect it is Frank White and maybe a few of his...

I suspect attendance had more to do with Sporting getting off to a very rough start and for the most part a down season, than the location of their current stadium. Soccer is still pretty niche within the professional sports landscape of the Unites States. The MLS has done a great job in promoting a...

I thought KS & MO had agreed to stop the “border war” when it came to poaching businesses & moving dollars around the Metro but resulting in a zero sum NET gain. This would be the biggest of the poaching ever, and if not certainly the biggest in the last 50yrs. They may not employe a lot of ...

My point with TMobile is arena was built basically in tandem with P&L. It was the catalyst to spark the development. New baseball stadium in EV will be catalyst for the East side of downtown and south from there to the eastern edge of Crossroads. We need to look at it as creating a new unique ar...

I think the EV provides a great location and again as I have stated several times a blank canvas to develop from in and around. If we look at the T-Mobile. It was built with an entertainment across the street. There has been a lot of development near TMobile but also spanning the blocks to the West ...

honestly the whole process makes the Royals Ownership look like bumbling fools. They say good things, the right things, then go silent for months. Come back with some nonsense and now we are 2 steps back from where we were. Then the release some renderings and say good things, 1 step forward. Then ...

I would love to see their artifacts on display. They have done a nice job with their museum. I’ve been to it a few time & enjoyed it. I like the idea of having it be part of a larger natural history museum of some kind around downtown. I get the current owners are not the best/well liked but reg...

I like the ideas and being curious about options. But why now? Why not have given this more conversation when it was first introduced. This just gives the appearance of the Royals Ownership and Team Executives not having there stuff together. This just adds to a narrative out there of incompetency....
