Is this a real proposal or a wish list?

Was hoping for something more substantial for Wash Sq Park but this isn't too bad...

Any recent action with this?

The picture isn't there anymore, but I'm pretty sure it's from this...TheLastGentleman wrote:Anyone know where they came from? The stadium one was from Tony's KC and he didn't provide a source.
Imagine the PR of the city tearing down a building that got tax credits to save in order to build a baseball stadium.KCPowercat wrote:Renovated buildings can be bought and demolished.

Especially when there are 3-4 other and better sites with cleared land, better highway access, better views, etc.flyingember wrote:Imagine the PR of the city tearing down a building that got tax credits to save in order to build a baseball stadium.KCPowercat wrote:Renovated buildings can be bought and demolished.
anyone against big government handouts would gravitate to the irony of that
Curious, why? Wouldn't it be better to have a view of DT skyline in the outfield. I guess most people would enter from home plate, so that would be awkward. Maybe, rotate 90 degrees to face Bartle.JBmidtown wrote:

Ok, makes sense. So, rotate it 90 degrees so it faces the River Market? That would be alright and you'd still have 909 in right field.JBmidtown wrote:It's less to do with view and more to do with shadows and glare from the sun throughout the day. You typically want to have a ball field with center field pointing northeast to avoid the worst effects from the sun throughout the day. That's why there's usually a standard where most MLB fields are oriented this way.
PNC Park faces south. It is definitely not the preferred orientation, but clearly, some exceptions are made.JBmidtown wrote:Oh well. The orientation of that outfield is just plain wrong anyways. I think only Comerica Park has as south-facing of an outfield as that rendering and it's a problem.
