If you weigh 180 and have say 3 beers in the parking lot and a couple of tall boys during the game (which we all know damn well is low for a TON of people) that's 6 drinks over about 3 hours until the 8th inning. Which puts you at about .10 at the end of the 7th, which leaves you at .085 an hour later. Cutting it very close at best. And we all know a lot of people drink much more than 3 beers while tailgating and 2 tall boys during the game. |

It would be stupid to build a downtown stadium, giving up tailgating and convenient parking, just on behalf of those folks.

Has anyone, ever actually had a DD at a baseball game? Really? I have my doubts. I mean 3+ hours of your buddy's getting hammered during a long, slow baseball game. What could be more fun?

If you don't have one, then don't drink before the game, you'll be fine. If you must be drunk to sit through the first inning of a baseball game, then its not your sport, go fishing or something.

For the city, it's stupid that they didn't build downtown when they had a chance but stupidity is kind of what the KC gov't is known for. As a fan, I love the tailgating for Royals games in the parking lot.

Its not the city's call. The owners know what their (mostly suburban and out of town) fans want.

1) Ease of access to the ballpark; 2) Entertainment options around the ballpark. I'm still somewhat shocked that a development company has not seized upon the collapse of Raytown and Independence and used that to buy up some cheaper-than-it-should-be real estate, to develop at least some hotels and more attractive bar options. The benefits of a downtown ballpark shoot up, for me, with the intro of light rail in town... because I'm a forever-midtown resident (If I ever live south of 75th or North of 42nd, shoot me) and it would be cool to be able to hop on public transit and get to the game.

If going to Westport / P&L was crucial to fans choosing to go to the Royals games then someone would have made a niche providing shuttle services from these spots to the TSC.

well, it's not exactly the best part of town. The best days for customers would be the days of home games, which are also the worst days for traffic. So it's a catch 22 unless you have something that eveyone needs when they head to the stadium.

Question to duncan, alnorth and anyone else who deems themselves knowledgeable about the great game of baseball:
Is there an attainable player or specific positional role that you think could be acquired within 96 hours that immediately improves the team?
