The advantage of the rolling roof is being able to leave it open so grass can grow, so closing it the day before or the morning of the game is a non-issue. There are five retractable roof stadiums in the NFL and six in MLB and I don't know that any of them have ongoing issues with operation. If Arr...

KC is looking very good. My confidence level is up and we will know by middle of June. Completely agree, KC has a legit shot at this. All conversations with FIFA continue to be very productive, and the process continues to move forward for the KC bid. We've waited this long, just one more month unt...

KC Star Editorial now saying East Loop is the one to cap KC Star continuing to have just generally terrible takes. Yup. The day they pack up for good will be a win for the city. It's certainly frustrating, but to just state that KC would be a better place without a major, local paper -- couldn't be...

Spoken like a true Missouri Show-Me-Stater. I think we’ve probably lost this one too.

KC is still very much in consideration by FIFA. Just wait until next month, we'll know for sure.

OMG do scooters occasionally get in the way of you walking -- how terrible and inconsiderate.

Creating a thread devoted to the driving tendencies of those on scooters. 100% NIMBY behavior

I guess so. But there are other sites for random complaining. Big nimby/nextdoor vibes.

Just a general thought: Why are we devoting this space to discussing scooters in the city? Yes, they're annoying at times; but you will occasionally encounter inconveniences when visiting/living in an urban environment.

Yes, but we're lucky to be hosting he NAIA, Big XII tournament, Sweet 16, Elite 8, and the NFL Draft all in a 6 week span immediately after our new airport opens. And potentially the AFC Championship a month before that too. Lots of big events the early part of the year. Very wise of them to realiz...

Uber isn't really considered transit. It would cost around $40+ one way between a lot of places and not practical when you have massive fan zones. The places would get congested and I assume Uber would surge prices. They'll need to be dedicated transit solutions. I'm sure the city put together a pl...

Room counts as of today: ~5,600 Downtown (includes Crown Center); ~16,000 KCMO; ~36,000 Metro-wide

These are not nice on the inside What's wrong with the inside? They forgot to remove the dead bugs and smells of mold in common spaces. There are multiple levels of remodel ranging from relatively ok to just a coat of new paint. From this past summer: https://fox4kc.com/news/problem-solvers/residen...

Would it actually be out of use that long? I can’t imagine it would be more than a month start to finish Yes, it can be. I worked on presentation by the City for the 88 and 92 conventions and if memory is correct that was the approximate down time. There is a huge stage to be built, wires to run, p...
