I noticed this when checking the arena for events while in town. That arena is not that busy anymore and when you include arenas with pro teams, it's probably one of the least active in the country. While 6 total events for June and July sounds bad, what arena has more during that time? Los Angeles...

100 events would mean 100 periods of activation, and new people coming into the area, would it not? No, that's not what that would mean. Again, best case for an MLS stadium is 30 events, and days of activation. I fail to see how the two sites are comparable in the urban context, as one is activated...

100 "events"? Sure. Something going on 100 days out of 365? No. Looks like there are about 60 days with an event in all of 2023. You can count them here: http://www.t-mobilecenter.com/events An MLS stadium wouldn't be that much different. Even if it's only about 30 days with an event, the ...

An avg 19,000 attendance for 17 days of activation plus a handful of other cup games and concerts. So let’s say a comfortable 30 events. How does that somehow justify the land area taken up in an urban area? You've just described the T-Mobile Center. The T-Mobile center hosts over 100 events annual...

You've just described the T-Mobile Center.

So, they're ok with 4,400 fans in a 5,000-seat arena?

...aaaaand they're gone.

Union Station will often put different signs or displays there through out the year. They may stay a little longer, but I can't imagine they'd be permanently placed there.

Also, those awesome "KANSAS CITY" signs, which I assume are coming down sometime within the next few days, now say "KANSA... S CITY".

Main Street opened yesterday.

They kept Pershing closed for a while longer, but it's open now too.

No. Those are coming down at some point. I think as soon as this week.

Well done, KC!

Why not just install traffic signals over each crosswalk? Do we not have enough pedestrian traffic for that?

4. I was kind of surprised by the volume of pedestrians walking from the garage into the terminal. Not seen that at KCI before (the outdoor approaches to the old terminal were normally bereft of people). It actually took some time getting past the crosswalks in our vehicle as we were leaving. Some ...

LET'S GO OYALS!

:::clap, clap clapclapclap:::

I have used the airport at different times and there has been NO back up in the arrivals lanes. I think more people are using the cell phone lot and the police are doing a better job at enforcing the pick up policy. But the scuff marks on the floor at the bag claim makes the entire airport feel so d...

DId waiting to get through security the eat your time savings? I'm curious how long that took you since I haven't heard of any wait times longer than 10 or 15 minutes.

We need a new airport!

As far as I know, it should be sometime tonight or tomorrow when we start seeing the new terminal gates listed on the Departures/Arrivals page. http://www.flykci.com/flight-information/flight-status/?FlightTimeStart=2%2F27%2F2023%209%3A07%3A38%20AM&FlightTimeEnd=2%2F28%2F2023%209%3A07%3A38%20AM&...

I predict a new airport terminal will open in Kansas City in 2023.
