Nope. If you listened to Clark's last press conference about the subject, everything was based on the Royals staying at Truman and improving things. With the Royals moving he had no interest in staying at Truman.

I see both sides of this discussion. I started going to Kaufman in the 70s and it’s full of nostalgia for me.
That said, I find it hard to believe those that hate downtown stadiums have ever been to one. Petco here in San Diego is fantastic. It has plenty of parking, public transit dropoff a block away, and countless restaurants and bars within walking distance for pregame food and beverage that ultimately is much cheaper than inside the stadium. Done right, it can still be iconic, and it WILL help the surrounding area from a revenue/development perspective

“That process is ongoing,” Hunt told reporters. “We are very hopeful that we will be able to renovate GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium when the time comes. We’re probably still a year plus away from being able to make that determination.” |

If that’s the target market, I guess? Not even close to that in San Diego, but different locales obviously

This is why I hate these types of projects. Before they put the Sprint Center in, the Crossroads area was organically beginning to thrive; arts and music and all locally owned businesses. Then Power and Blight, almost entirely chain shit from out of state. Locals are slowly getting pushed out as the developers snatch up real estate for rich people who want to live in a 'hip, urban environment', but actually hate everything about that and actually just turn it all into a whitewashed dystopia of chain restaurants, Starbucks, and some ****ing Toby Keith's yeehaw ****ing asshole bars. Whether they plop this down right in the Crossroads district or just north, this will drive the real estate prices so high there won't be a local business anywhere in that area in 10 years. It'll all be ****ing Applebees and bullshit like that. Giant ****ing strip mall. Yay. Progress. Is this downtown Cleveland? No, Kansas City? Huh. Same difference, I guess. ****in' yuck. |
