I don't see Johnson County stepping up with any stadium proposals. Johnson County is all about gated communities and private golf courses. They offer NOTHING for the greater community good. Platte County has the Airport, Clay County has Worlds of Fun and Casinos, Wyandotte County has Sporting, Kansas Speedway and the T-Bones, Jackson County has all the museums and major sports venues.

Johnson County just uses the stuff everybody else paid for, then bitches about the condition of the stadium or roads. That's just the way they roll.

Look, we have the Sprint Center downtown, and we're lucky to have enough parking for events there. The last good parcel of land for a downtown stadium is where they built the Kauffman Center, so there really isn't an available land area big enough for a baseball stadium, unless you want to knock down a bunch of historic buildings.

Also, Kansas City is NOT Chicago, or St. Louis, or Pittsburgh, and that's fine. Kansas City is about comfort and space. Our city is one of the largest cities in AREA of any metroplex. The airport isn't downtown either, and that's not an issue for anybody. If you want to get drunk and party before and after the game, you can tailgate, or there's PLENTY of bars inside Kauffman Stadium where you can drink till you puke.

It's a perfect set up for families with kids, which is another big thing with baseball in KC. You don't have to drag your kids downtown in an unsafe area.

So there are two sides. And depending on your lifestyle and WHY you go to the game, there's reasons for and against a downtown park.

Kauffman is like the 5th oldest venue for baseball in the majors. It's starting to become hallowed ground, like Wrigley or Fenway. I say, love it and leave it.

off to D.C. ?

One of the best plays Matt has ever made.
