Kansas City’s CPKC Stadium and Louisville’s Lynn Family Stadium will serve as cohosts for this year’s events, which will feature two four-team tournaments this summer. The full TWC USA fields will soon be revealed, but fans can expect to see top teams from Europe, South America and Africa battling the best in the NWSL for a prize purse of $100,000 in each tournament.

Re: New Riverfront Women's Soccer Stadium
So is that 6 games total? Meaning we’d have 3?Cratedigger wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 12:27 pm The Women’s Cup will be played at the Current Stadium this summer. Exciting seeing these announcements continue

Re: New Riverfront Women's Soccer Stadium
I get that the logistics are probably a lot easier this way, but it seems like a HUGE missed opportunity to not leverage some of the bus capacity of the weekday RideKC busses that are otherwise sitting dormant. Why aren’t we doing everything we can to create subconscious goodwill and familiarity with public transit and busses in this City?

It’s the current shuttle busses I think?

I believe it’s not allowed to use federally paid for vehicles for non-regular scheduled service to stadiums.Anthony_Hugo98 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 4:58 pm I get that the logistics are probably a lot easier this way, but it seems like a HUGE missed opportunity to not leverage some of the bus capacity of the weekday RideKC busses that are otherwise sitting dormant.

Re: New Riverfront Women's Soccer Stadium
Have all the vehicles in KCATA’s fleet been purchased with Fed $? Or is it the fact that the ATA receives Fed $ for operations?langosta wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 10:52 pmI believe it’s not allowed to use federally paid for vehicles for non-regular scheduled service to stadiums.Anthony_Hugo98 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 4:58 pm I get that the logistics are probably a lot easier this way, but it seems like a HUGE missed opportunity to not leverage some of the bus capacity of the weekday RideKC busses that are otherwise sitting dormant.

They had used ATA busses for the Airshow when it was at the DT Airport a few years ago, and I remember being impressed with the bus product, and I wasn’t super into urbanism or transit at this point, so I’d imagine that would be a relatively consistent experience if utilized

I’m confused as to how they were able to use them for the airshow then?

Re: New Riverfront Women's Soccer Stadium
I only rode on private busses when it was downtown. They could have exhausted every qualified respondent’s capacity or have gotten written approval for a local/nationally important event.Anthony_Hugo98 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 31, 2024 8:50 amI’m confused as to how they were able to use them for the airshow then?

Parking and transportation overshadowing the team. Once again we have some of the most incompetent elected officials in the country.

Re: New Riverfront Women's Soccer Stadium
I felt like the KCUR piece today missed the mark by having an extended discussion about issues with public transit in KC, including to the riverfront and CPKC Stadium, without any mention of land use or growth patterns. Transit is constantly scapegoated but we continue to ask it to do more with less and in the meantime the region continues to sprawl largely unchecked. Totally frustrating.

No comment on elected officials but we've also got a nearly impossible to deal with public with highly unrealistic expectations. Convenience trumps all other things for many of these people.

Re: New Riverfront Women's Soccer Stadium
Cleveland wants to build a 12,500 seat 150 million dollar NWSL stadium downtown. I kind of wonder if KC might be doing the same thing they did with Sporting and start a national trend. The only problem with that is I think KC's NWSL stadium will quickly become one of the smaller and maybe "cheaper" venues like Sporting stadium has become with all the new MLS stadiums.
But at least this time around KC got it right with the location. So all they would have to do is improve the existing stadium to keep up.

I noticed I did that, but really didn't mean it in a negative way.

I'm surprised modularity hasn't become a bigger issue in sports architecture.
