Royals KK wrong about success of ASG

I'm looking at an aerial view of downtown KC, and I'd love to know what city blocks you're going to demolish to make room for a baseball stadium.

That's the other issue.

I assume they'd have to nuke some crackhouse neighborhoods off to the east of downtown to make it work.

But wait, it has to be close to P/L.

This is Kansas City, sir. I regularly call up my clients after work and take them out to the east side for some choice crack rock. Wouldn't it be nice if I could pregame with them at the trap house and THEN go to the Royals game?

This discussion just got significantly funnier the past several posts. This one is the best of them.

I'm pretty sure that in 10-15 years there will be exactly zero use for the big, new Kansas City Star printing building.

What, are you trying to get someone on I-670 murdered when Myers hits a homer onto the ****ing highway??/

The downtown stadium will improve attendance to the point that driving during game times will be nothing more than sporadic.

Well, there's about a 1/3 of the land necessary.

I'm sure looking forward to crossing the interstate to get to P/L.

About as much as fighting traffic and finding a place to park.

Hell, at the rate it's going, in 10-15 years you can use the land currently occupied by P/L.

But, but, WHERE will I be able to find a bar in KC that I can get a bottle of Grey Goose for $300? #blowmeMosaic

There were several proposals made. Barrett Sports group worked with the Downtown Development Council on a 40k seat stadium at 7th and Main.

I believe that the Kauffman foundation also offered to donate the land that has since been used for the performing arts center, but others may know more about that than me.

There were also plans to build it up against Union Station which was one of the locations proposed back before the stadium was originally built.

7th and Main. Great location, right next to nothing. That mile-long walk to P/L before/after the game sounds exciting.

Union Station? You're going the wrong way.

You're arguing for "things to do" other than the ballgame. Those locations don't exactly help the situation, IMO.

That would be .6 miles from P&L. The walk to your car in the parking lot at Kauffman is every bit of that.
