Seriously?

Wyandotte County created the entire Legends shopping district around the race track. The very notion that you couldn't do that around the Truman Sports Complex is what's absurd.

Yeah, think of all the white-collar walk-across-the-street stiffs they'd be getting if the park was next to Union Station.

Dude's all over the map.
Yeah. Nobody works at Hallmark across the street. The largest building in Kansas City is an excruciating 1.3 miles away. The Hyatt being right there would suck.

Yeah, .6 miles across BLUFFS. Sheesh, I thought you were trying to make this easier for people.....

Where the **** do you park?

It's .7 of a mile from the Home Plate entrance of the K to the goddamn Drury Inn and Suites across the ****ing highway.

Christ, it's only .8 of a mile from the Chiefs practice facility, and that's taking the street the entire way and not cutting across lots.

LMAO

Another problem with a lot of the land adjacent to the river is, a lot of it that is currently vacant are EPA superfund sites. There's a lot of seriously polluted property in the older part of the city. Cleaning it up to allow for new construction would be crazy expensive.

We could rename the Jones rooftop pool to Balboni's Cove.

Good call. Didn't realize the land was that tight until I looked at the map.

Highway access, parking and traffic would be a nightmare, and you're still nowhere near Saul's baby, P/L.
P&L is 8 blocks north of Union Station, btw.

Hey now, don't be hating on good bourbon.

But until that happens, think how entertaining it would be to see guys in canoes fish homers -and dead prostitutes- out of the muddy MO!

LMAO

1 mile exactly according to Google Maps.

I'm not walking a mile to get a beer after the game.

The point of having a downtown ballpark is that you don't have to walk that far to do so.

where do you park? You park wherever the 50,000 people who work there park every day.
