He's emceeing the men's and women's big 12 tourneys.

Which the Big 12 now regrets after being informed of his social media activism. His social media is the epitome of moronic. One post is about him taking money to emcee at a tax subsidized arena for a college conference who's members rely on rich mens money to function. The very next post is a share from KCT to vote no on the new baseball stadium because it's a "regressive" tax.

Watching the game here in Tucson. Got to say the goal from free kick just before half looked way offside, much like the one goal by Portland that was negated because of off sides.
But they're looking good... 3-0 at half!

SKC lease ends before the 2030 season

Is that known? I thought there were some weird clauses?

It's too bad they were so against downtown. They could have really made something. They were determined to have parking around, and by a highway.

20 years from the day of closing on the land.

Interesting.

The us will likely host the women's world cup in 2031 so the chiefs and sporting will really want to figure shit out here shortly.

Think I posted in another thread but I think KC being competitive for a 2031 are challenging

Get them all downtown. Suddenly we could solve that East Village gap quickly.

SKc could be fun in downtown. Or Arrowhead 2.0 with SKC as a tenant

Skc makes sense as a compliment to arrowhead. It's a more urban sport than football so I think you'd see fewer complaints about parking. Arrowhead would still be the 70,000+ venue.

I'm not sure where to build it. Maybe in some park land, if they want to come downtown.

I agree, but probably for a different thread

There's a fair argument to make that if Chiefs & Sporting both shared a downtown stadium, then suddenly you might get enough home games to warrant having a giant NFL stadium right in the thick of downtown...

8-10 NFL
17+ MLS
8-15 concerts
0-5 other sporting events
100-200 Major conventions, trade shows, other events.

Anyone wanting the Chiefs downtown hasnt been to a game

Or they visited a modern downtown stadium ie Vikings and loved it.

Why in the world would you want the Chiefs Downtown? Maybe near downtown. NKC would be kind of neat. But even that would change the entire feel of the area and create an enormous dead zone that will be difficult to develop.

I just don't get moving the Chiefs from the TSC. And that includes moving the stadium to be near a bunch of suburban development. A nice stadium and lots of parking. That is all the Chiefs need.

Even this talk of suberbowls and final fours. KC is going to have a real hard time competing for such events even with a downtown domed stadium. KC "might" get one superbowl as a tribute to the Hunts. There are just too many locations and now there are many new super stadiums going up in cold weather cities that KC will never compete with like Minneapolis, Atlanta, the new stadium in Nashville etc. Charlotte will likely build a new downtown super stadium in the next 10 years. Those cites all way more downtown hotels and more modern hotels than KC does.

I just don't see the point in moving the Chiefs from the TSC.

Now Sporting should be in East Village.

I’m interested in the other 100+ annual events that a modern downtown dome bring in. Conventions, concerts, etc.

Those events are so small that I'm not sure it's worth screwing up a huge chunk of urban fabric over it. And again, KC's hotel inventory is just not great. KC is just not keeping up with that part of the hospitality infrastructure. I have stayed in nearly ever hotel in urban kc, and the vast majority of KC's hotels are dated and Downtown is missing a bunch of desirable flags. Loews is about it for large hotels and that's why you can rarely ever stay there for under 250-350 a night. It's not that great of a hotel, but its' as good as it gets in KC and there is not much competition. Maybe hotels will come after a stadium is built, but again, KC is competing with some pretty built up cities now.
