I'm not opposed to a downtown stadium really, but I think it would be sad to see the K torn down. It's not even about the location... it's that the K truly one of the most beautiful sports stadiums in America. At least I think so. I've been to several more "modern" parks that are certainly good, but not quite the same. Same for Arrowhead... it's not quite as beautiful, but it's structure allows for a homefield advantage you just can't get in a lot of new stadiums. I don't know why putting it downtown and attracting the element that just wants to be seen is so exciting. That's one of the great things about KC. But I go to sporting events because I actually want to go to a sporting event. It'll be interesting to see what happens next time the stadium talk rolls around. The K has actually become a historic building in baseball terms... it's the 6th oldest stadium in the league. Considering the A's want to move, it might soon be the 5th oldest, alongside Fenway, Wrigley, Dodger Stadium and Angels Stadium... with really no other stadium even close. That's kind of cool.

nah, we should just tear it down.
