Kansas City begins talk and studies for downtown ballpark
http://www.kansascity.com/news/polit...177058541.html
The city of Kansas City is funding a study of at least four potential sites for a downtown baseball stadium for the Kansas City Royals, according to documents obtained by The Star. A series of emails shows that Kansas City Manager Troy Schulte was involved in funding studies of four sites within the downtown loop that might be suitable for a baseball stadium. Two of those sites, according to slides prepared by architecture firm HOK, are immediately adjacent to the Sprint Center, one to the north and one to the east. Another site is East Village, several blocks of mostly undeveloped land and surface parking lots east of City Hall. A fourth site would involve several blocks of mostly surface parking lots beginning at the northwest corner of 8th and Main streets. Others involved in the planning include Jon Copaken, principal with real estate development firm Copaken-Brooks, the Downtown Council of Kansas City, JE Dunn, The Cordish Co. and Tower Properties. Schulte said the studies started after the Downtown Council approached City Hall about the feasibility of downtown baseball. Schulte added that he agreed to help fund a study to consider whether the four sites would work so that the city could plan ahead if the idea gained momentum. “At this point it’s nothing more than hopes and dreams and discussions,” Schulte said. A May 12 email from Copaken obtained by The Star suggested that conversations with the Royals and Jackson County have started. “[T]he studies are underway, invoices are out, conversations from the County and the team are actually heading in the right way and we are sufficiently in the loop to know that real progress is being achieved,” Copaken wrote. Kevin Uhlich, senior vice president of business operations for the Royals, said he had been contacted about downtown baseball stadium proposals earlier this year. |

Best airport in the country. In and out.

I'm not sure I agree. I've been flying in and out of MCI since 1999 and it's hands-down the best airport. A bit dark, but that matters little. Add trains between the three terminals and it would be complete. Add rail from Lee's Summit, Independence, OP, Olathe, and it would be even more perfect.

I've heard the argument "it's great if you live there, but sucks if you don't"...... but, not sure why that would matter unless you have a layover between terminals, and WTF does that?
I guess people complain about the lack of food/drink options after security, but lines are so short, it's not like you have to show up more than 10-15 minutes before boarding. And if you have a long layover, you could leave the security area and get back in within 5-10 minutes.... |

(Well worth the money!!!) But if you're driving MCI's circle parking mixed with airline Apps is 100% the cat's ass. Apply for TSA Pre-check and life is SWEET! And the Pre-check is actually more useful in places like Dallas, Minneapolis, O'hare, and Dulles.

If you truly knew me, you would know that is simply not true. I do get the most I can out of a dollar but it doesn't make me cheap. Definitely patient.

Speaking of airports....
How much traffic goes in and out of Wheeler? Put a stadium there.

As for the companies saying they're discounting moving to the KC area because of MCI, I call bullshit. I'd really like to hear what about the airport itself leads them to say that. Then I'd like to know what about the new single terminal airport is going to have them change their mind.

I'm glad you brought that up.... I was going to say that last night, let the KC skyline be the target for home runs.. And I say that because I only see a few corporate jets taking off each day. I think it's time for it to go.

Trying to get back across that bridge from Wheeler would seem like a shitshow. I had a loft that looked out onto that bridge and the morning commute was always jammed up through there. Unless they've made improvements since I've been gone.
