Anybody know wtf the "K" is

Renderings look nice. If modernization would cost that much compared to the cost of a new facility, makes sense.

Could pave the way for a new Arrowhead in the current geographic location one day as well.

Kauffman Stadium.

They're not leaving soon. I think they're tied to Kauffman until 2030. That said, they won't be happy until they get a new ballpark.

Eleazar · 11-15-2022, 05:18 PM

False thread title. They are developing plans and will begin working toward a new stadium.

They should go downtown. Baseball is built for that. Little to no tailgating and less crowds.

I would not be shocked if they're doing this now to try and have it built by the World Cup.

Let me guess, the Royals are going to pay for their brand new stadium and not try to strongarm taxpayers into paying for it.

**RealSNR** · 11-15-2022, 05:21 PM

Are Jackson County residents done paying off the original Truman renovations from back in 2009?

dallaschiefsfan · 11-15-2022, 05:22 PM

So...the iconic "crown-vision" will be eliminated. Ok.

Only complaint I have is that there's no crown vision. I feel that should be incorporated because it's what it makes it unique.

Such a fluff piece by them. So they want a district. Didn't say what that cost is. Hey they will spend 300million for a district that will cost 3 to 4 billion possibly?

What are these companies moving to the district and somehow creating these new jobs permanently? We will have urban blight from their move.

I knew it was coming. Assholes could at least pay half to 60 percent. How about fielding good teams if you want this stadium.
