Downtown being the way it is means 20k more residents and negative job growth. That’s not enough to support new major teams Considering that there are downtowns with far less population, and no rail, supporting teams, I think we'll be just fine. I've gathered from your takes you seem to think every...

The other issue is, sometimes you need to be careful what you wish for and adding another team can risk diluting the market. I can live with people feeling like they are quite happy with the teams they already have and they don't need more. I think there is a feeling last few years we're ready for ...

He was in charge of the projects. He has his own firm Hmm well that sucks. They knew about 3L & 4L though awhile ago and still didn't care about blocking views with 20+ story buildings. Don't know why that's changed now. I'll also add that blocking views is irrelevant when we're trying to build...

Mahomes is already investing in business in the area too. Hes the reason Whataburger is here now. I agree with all of Alkali's points, the problem is just going to be finding a team to move and thats probably about 10 years away. The NBA doesn't really have any basketcase franchises, even at the lo...

He's been out for over a year now Is there some reason it changed because he left? I didn't think he was planning the projects. He was in charge of the projects. He has his own firm Hmm well that sucks. They knew about 3L & 4L though awhile ago and still didn't care about blocking views with 20...

Could be micro, studio, co-living, etc.

And also Nick Benjamin said 20+ stories on each IIRC

I still can't believe they're angry about funding for the World Cup. Who gives a shit, it's the World Cup in Kansas City. You don't get to be a picky asshole with that.

And I imagine it'll be perpendicular to Three Light and whatever the tower next to the theater will be called based on how the parcel is oriented. So really it shouldn't be a problem for all residents in Three Light and certainly no problem for Two How are they fitting 500+ planned units into just ...

If Cordish were to build residential on the south side they would block their own valuable views south from Two and Three. Would they build lower or turn the buildings perpendicular? The planned residential on the south side is a mid rise building. And I imagine it'll be perpendicular to Three Ligh...

Mahomes doesn't have the money either, and KC doesn't have an ownership group. This is pure wishcasting. The sprint center has been sitting there for a decade free to use and I don't think the NBA has even shown an interest or played a game. Mahomes is only in year 5. But he is *definitley* going t...

NBA hot bed KC yet again not even hosting a pre season bame meanwhile Mexico City https://therookiewire.usatoday.com/lists/nba-boston-celtics-jta-on-nba-en-cdmx/ Mexico City is also much larger than KC. You must do the same "research" as the anti vaxx crowd Outside of political data &...

Nashville, Mexico City, Tampa Bay are all ahead of KC on the pecking order Lol no they’re not. Nashville & Tampa are way too close to current teams in Orlando & Memphis. Mayyybe Memphis would go to Nashville…but they’re *way* more focused on getting MLB since they already have NHL & NFL...

I'd prefer a new history museum in the Star press building. We need a history museum badly and kids need it even more so they will not grow up ignorant of what the narrative of this place is. Currently there is no major museum in the loop area. It would bring people in all around the year not just ...

-No existing NBA teams nearby -Size-able population throughout the state & 500-mile radius No NBA teams near by? But there's like 6 NBA teams within a 500-mile radius of KC. Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska have no NBA team and that’s well over 10 mil people. An NBA team would be a hub for a bi...

It would be so glorious to have new Kauffman sitting just over there on the southeast

KC's best chance is to get an NBA team is relocation, i.e. NO Pelicans. We most likely won't get an expansion team w/o an ownership group with deep pockets and the NBA actually picking KC over Seattle (not going to happen) or LV. I don't get the desire about LV. It's a very transient city. This is ...

We’re not getting an expansion team. However, we are next in line for a relocation team once Seattle & Las Vegas acquire expansion teams. I'm not even being biased on that, there just isn't a better city than KC that will check all the boxes for the next NBA team. At some point in the next 5-10...

^ lol, well you nailed it! I respect the opinions of a few of those guys who often say things like that but you can't pop into town a few times a year and make blanket judgements about the city as a whole. Visual judgements like everything around TSC is a dump is one thing but saying "KC just ...

I have a feeling if the Mac project came back now it would pass
