Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

Another thing is the signposting is poor. The amount of people who don't realise they are in the TSA line was quite drastic. If you are coming from the Southwest bag drop desks it's hard to tell the difference as there are "All Gates" signs above both TSA and regular security which can eas...

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

Just done my first round trip. Half an hour to get through security on the way in, and another 30 mins getting out of economy parking on the way out in a ridiculously long line. Even TSA looked rammed. Not following where you are running all this from and to? 30 minutes just in security? 30 minutes...

Re: American Royal leaders propose tearing down Kemper

How many times can you repackage these facilities? Just polishing a turd at this point, they've had their time. The KC metro doesn't need multiple arenas and convention facilities and even if these disappeared tomorrow we'd still be oversubscribed. Great location for a new Chiefs Stadium IMO.

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

I see Kemper/Hy-Vee Arena is up for sale. I'd happily see that and the American Royal flattened to make way for a new Chiefs stadium.

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

What new stadium would you want in KC? Would we take the new Bills stadium for our own? Nashville would be great if Chiefs went near downtown I think there's next to no chance of the latter and very much the former, although I know what I'd prefer. The car centric tailgate culture is too strong here.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Renderings and nothing more. Let's not over complicate this process. East Village is by far the most logical and practical site to develop.

Coming back in May for 3 weeks.....but not my usual Glasgow to Kansas City, this time it'll be via Edinburgh to St. Louis and i-70. Fares and connection times on my usual route were just piss poor to be honest. I suppose thats to expected somewhat using provincial airports, but I hope the new termin...

Re: World Cup 2026 at Arrowhead?

Biggest focus by a country mile needs to be making it easy to get to Arrowhead and having stuff there.

Like I said, people in Europe think tailgating is driving up someone's ass.

Makes too much sense. Kills a ton of surface lots and has the least potential of them facing legal action. Too many issues with demolitions and evictions on most of the other sites.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Bill from Independence wants to ask where fans will be able to park and how concerns regarding crime Downtown will be managed.

If the Royals have any sense these forums will be nothing more than lip service.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

According to 610, community meetings open to the public were taking place today (surprised no one on here picked up on it) A local group "KC tenants" peddling some fearmongering about poor people being kicked out their homes and gentrification will ruin everything.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I have a feeling they’re gonna just turn TSC into something like Town Center and then a new Chiefs stadium. That is all. I would agree with you. I think regardless of where the Chiefs play there will be a big market for people who would love to live next to the stadium or have their business next d...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I'm reading the tea leaves on the Chiefs situation now that we can see how things are unfolding with the Royals: 1. There's no way another separate, isolated entertainment village out at Truman Sports Complex is going to work when everything is coalescing downtown and the Chiefs play 8x a year. 2. ...
