  6. Has Kings of Kauffman ever gone to Wrigley Field??

    It 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.
