At least it's done. Try to salvage what there.

Flip by Monday or the current form is dead. Guess we're all on the same boat now because we won't be having any more of this debate about location if it dies.

Re: World Cup 2026 at Arrowhead?

I wasn't going to reply but since you used right wing coded language to talk about something you have no clue about, I'll have to bite. There is no clamoring for season tickets or anything outside of Messi hype. I have been around the supporters section & friends with the FO for all these years ...

Re: News from Omaha

I don't think you understood that I'm talking about Iowa being right in the middle of that boundary? That's what I've been talking about the entire time, the two states on that route for building to the airport, yeesh.

Re: World Cup 2026 at Arrowhead?

They're currently more considered with the hiring of front office staffer than soccer. They seem to think this is a social club and not a professional sports franchise. Oh I'm very aware, I've been part of this community for a decade and a half now. The team fired the first shots. By not consulting...

Re: News from Omaha

I know we love to complain about our bi-state issues but having your airport disconnected not only from your city but your state by old borders of an oxbow lake is pretty weird. Gotta be a huge pain for transit and everything involved for them. It would be if the above was true It isn't Try Google ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I can agree that the views are not as important as some other factors. I can't agree that views are not important. It's a major factor when deciding between a few locations. https://i.ibb.co/z7xTDc0/dsteiner00-20230916180946.jpg https://i.ibb.co/dtJpFmr/A1-Hero-20231003160422.jpg I'd love this situ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

It's not just being realistic, it's every time that someone posits their opinion on how they think the EV would shake out, you're instantly yelled down about how it would fail & nothing ever gets done in KC. That attitude kept the airport the way it was for 50 years. You have your opinion for t...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I don't get your "view" on this pun intended haha. I mean you are always so adamantly against the view from a ballpark even being discussed. Personally, as somebody that loves MLB and has been to every park. I LOVE parks with views. San Diego, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, St Louis, Baltimore et...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

What I meant was the entire process has felt like it's been driven by what people perceive to be good & would look good rather than taking the biggest shot at something unique & new in the city where we never take big chances. Everyone is obsessed with the view looking good towards downtown ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

This stadium should have been in North Loop. Close the highway and fill it with parking garages easily accessible from the highway system, restore the street grid to the River Market, tear down one ugly Flash Cube building for a tightknit stadium and kill a bunch of birds with one stone. Wonder why...

Re: World Cup 2026 at Arrowhead?

Nah, Ticketmaster is just that easy to get around for bots to just grab. You can't "underprice" tickets when you brag about wanting it to be affordable. They've made their bed & they're ready to sleep in it without a good majority of their fanbase. Going to be interesting to see how th...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

It isn't facing that way, come on now. Baseball fields are supposed to face North to NE (its even a recommendation in the MLB rulebook). If an architect puts his seal on plans with it facing south, they deserve to lose their license. Correct, and that is facing northwest. There is no way to get the...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I'm 100% in on the Star site now. The view from the outfield will be amazing. Should be able to see P&L, Jackson Co courthouse, and City hall, all more the reason to make sure the stadium incorporate those architectural styles into the façade. Just cover that ugly AF att building with TV boards...
