I still can't believe they're angry about funding for the World Cup. Who gives a shit, it's the World Cup in Kansas City. You don't get to be a picky asshole with that.
You know what’s funny is this the exact incompetence of their actual MLB team too so it makes sense why the team sucks when it all really falls down from the top.On Thursday, Platt said he’s disappointed that the Royals haven’t communicated their vision or needs, or even which of many proposed locations they’d prefer.
“The biggest frustration that we’re feeling is that we haven’t been given a lot of information from the Royals directly. No one really knows what the plan is. No one knows what their intentions are,” Platt said.
I don’t think they’re leaving their current office. They’re just expanding to another building too.Cratedigger wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 10:50 amTwo land owners - City and BCBS so that's a plus. However, is it big enough...?
That doesn't seem right? Why would they split up their space like that?AlkaliAxel wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 11:02 amI don’t think they’re leaving their current office.

Why should he be disappointed? If the Royals haven't made a final decision to rehab the stadium or not, which it appears they haven't, then why make any type of commitment to move anywhere? First things first, just like the Chiefs.AlkaliAxel wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 10:42 amYou know what’s funny is this the exact incompetence of their actual MLB team too so it makes sense why the team sucks when it all really falls down from the top.On Thursday, Platt said he’s disappointed that the Royals haven’t communicated their vision or needs, or even which of many proposed locations they’d prefer.

Sources indicate the Royals and Chiefs are working on joint ballot language, and plan to put proposals before voters next Spring.aknowledgeableperson wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 2:46 pmWhy should he be disappointed?

I was just going by WSP today thinking you could steal 30 feet from Grand for a stadium site and still be totally fine to accommodate traffic. Grand is insanely wide. Still easily the best site for me, they'd just have to figure out how to squeeze it in but I think those kind of constraints make for more interesting and unique stadiums.
Now that I am down with for that site
Given all the talk about a downtown stadium any reasonable landowner would have in the back of his/her mind that it is for a possible stadium. Just the talk can drive up land prices.DColeKC wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 4:46 pm We all share the city managers frustrations about lack of transparency but I have a mildly informed opinion that is has to due with getting land bought for a reasonable amount. If you own land and John Smith calls to purchase, your price is different than when John Sherman wants it.
Without more detail it could be for rehabbing both stadiums at TSC. BTW which voters? County? City? Both? Anyway, are the Chiefs going to have their stadium study finished by then. I know times flies but I thought the study was going to take a year and was just announced just a few months ago.
There’s no point in spending to rehab the Royals. You’ll just have to do it again later. A new build is more efficient.aknowledgeableperson wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 8:10 pmWithout more detail it could be for rehabbing both stadiums at TSC. BTW which voters? County? City? Both?

Even a new build will have to be rehabbed at some point in its life. And a rehab will be cheaper than a new build.AlkaliAxel wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 11:49 pmThere’s no point in spending to rehab the Royals. You’ll just have to do it again later.
