Kansas City Royals: Is it time for a new, downtown stadium?
Have you ever gone to Wrigley Field, with the stadium right in the heart of downtown Chicago? It is a feel that is becoming more prominent in Major League Baseball. In the coming years, the Kansas City Royals may fall into the trend as well.
And this is the OPEN THREAD for right now . . .
Good luck Cynthia.
ReplyDeleteAnother millennial idiot with soft mush in her cranial cavity.
ReplyDeleteNO it's not time.
Kansas City Fed sees slight growth; firms can't find workers.
ReplyDeleteNow that makes a lot of sense.
Boulevard Brewing Co.
ReplyDeleteThey know how to push the beer and booze. At least they don't have to build secret tunnels.
On Wednesday, he said that was all a mistake.
ReplyDeleteSee! There is some honesty and competence.
Has Kings of Kauffman ever gone to Wrigley Field??
ReplyDeleteIt is not in the heart of downtown. It isn't even in the vicinity of downtown.
It's about 8 miles or roughly the same distance as Kauffman is to our downtown.
People take the red line to the Addison St station where the neighborhood has added many restaurants and bars around the stadium over the years.
Now there's an idea. A transit line from Union Station to the Truman Sports complex, connecting fans to other parts of the city while removing traffic congestion and decreasing drunk driving.
Excellent points!
DeleteImagine all those cars coming into downtown.... we have a stadium and it works just fine and it's paid for.

She will emerge on the other side of this battle as a victorious survivor.
Also good luck Cynthia.
ReplyDeleteright after clay's high speed transit can move all the fans that go to games using public transportation.
ReplyDeletethe Star's editorial board can go fuck itself.
ReplyDeletecomparing the stadiums of KC and Chicago and their locations as similar case studies is not sane.
ReplyDeleteSee you all at the new Stadium Groundbreaking!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAfter turning the Airport into a tethered goatfuck you really gonna trust them not to fuck up a downtown stadium?
