I wouldn't take the word "tourist destination" too seriously, but it is half true. Didn't NFM rank as a top "tourist" attraction in Kansas? Haha. Get real. it did. it shows you how pathetic the state of kansas is. a furniture store is the location of choice for their residents t...

Kansas is one of those states.  I guess it's normal for a rural state to do that.  Nebraska, Oklahoma, Iowa, Alabama etc. you ever watch national lampoons vacation? where they get to cousin eddies, with their worm farm, country hick farm house, kissin' cousins, koolaid made by hand literally, that ...

Again, I would have been all for it, if there was a chance in hell it could have happened.  It was either renovate or do nothing.  KCMO is falling flat on it's face right now.  How would they be doing if they had a stadium to pay for too? and light rail. shit, spending less money on the reno, which...

you know what is funny, for solace, the more angry ones about the tsc renovations will say "stadiums only last 15 years anyways" ( and the number keeps shrinking, i see 10 years mentioned here lately ) yet, oriole park at camden yards, jacobs / progressive field, are 18 years old and 16 ye...

He is a jackass, I agree with that. But the future of the urban core of KC was based on the ballpark location?  Are you serious? you remember all the shit we went through 3 years ago, when the bill was about to get voted on GRID? you, akp, myself, kcp to a limited extent, and a couple others, were ...

if any of you think that the teams will make these shortages up, YOU ARE CRAZY

Wait - I thought we were always driving across the state line to spend countless hours "leeching" off KCMO's attractions? you do, based off nothing to do in your home state. it must be depressing to have nothing at all to do traditionally from mid march to late august, no chickenhawk hoop...

   And they wonder why we talk shit on them constantly.    i have known the answer to this for years. in the state of kansas, what else is there beyond ku athletics?? what else is there to do in that state, beyond kay u? no entertainment, pro sports, culture, scenery of any kind, nothing. what else...

Listened to Moore on 810 last night and couldn't help but feeling very optimistic for this season.  I know, I know, a GM will never come out and say negative things about his team in the offseason, but still... One comment that stood out: "on paper this is the most talented team the Royals hav...

God i hope not, but if true the program is in much better shape then he found it.

They should just stop handing out regular season confernece championship trophys for basketball.  It seems like we end up with these ties at the top quite often and college basketball is all about March anyway.  A regular season conference championship in basketball is basically the same as a divis...

My understanding is that the whole point of this project (unlike the Legends itself) is to provide the basics for those of us that live in this area. Hence, WalMart, BestBuy, office supply store, sit down chain restaurants, etc. because god knows driving to the wal mart all of 8 miles away is blood...

You should try being a Mizzou fan.  All we care about is being at least .500 vs. KU.  Therefore, in a way, we don't really care what happenes in the tourney, we're just happy that people are still talking about us in March!       :P all kay u fans care about is being able to claim co titles. i thin...

that will help the area by the speedway, a walmart. that will continue to make it a destination shopping area.

yeah, sure it will be. shinier and newer does not = loengevity.

for what its worth. nothing.

my take on VW/Legends: 

well said.

I don't want this to happen, I really don't.  The last thing this metro needs is another 1 million sq ft failed shopping center. But the writing was on the wall the day this place opened.  I just don't see it lasting and that's too bad because it really is a nice suburban development. it is a shame...
