Of course. Want to get a bite to eat before the game?
Yeah, we'll just eat in the parking lot. Do you have your Weber and a bag of Kingsford in your trunk?
Always. You brought a cooler full of meat like you do every day just in case we decided to go to a game, right.
You know it.
That makes much more sense than:
Hey Saul, want to hit the game after work?
Sure, what time?
We're going to meet up at J Bucks and head over to the stadium around 6:30.
Perfect. I get off at 4:30. I'm going to run over to Band Box to drop off my dry cleaning, and I'll meet you at 5.

This is just stupid. If I don't work or live downtown, and I don't, (assuming a downtown stadium exists) this has absolutely no relevance to me or the majority of the population in any way. If I want to grill I can pick something up from my house or just buy food on the way, because either way I am still driving to the stadium, regardless of where it is.
Like I said, I see the advantages a downtown stadium has, but I also see the advantages of the K. The bottom line is that in our city as it is, the majority of people going to a Royals game have to drive there no matter where it is at.
