interesting. Because my only knowledge of that area is "that scary place that is near Golden Ox and Kemper where zombies walk around all year and they have the haunted houses and never ever go there" but maybe it can be built up. But I haven't been near there in like 20 years so maybe it's better than I remember? Does that area ever flood? |

Maybe there's some kind of low key gentrification already going on there because the location itself seems like it could grow into a new area with a great view of downtown but like that seems like a pretty huge effort.
I also could be mistaken but I think of the west bottoms as smelling like shit. Stockyards and river doesn't scream "pleasant" to me but I'm not sure how accurate that is because I haven't been there since....last century maybe |

Chef J's pregame is reason enough alone and the area seems to be slowly coming up so I imagine a stadium in that location seems like what they were talking about early on. Space with the opportunity for entertainment, but then for some reason pivoted to demolishing an existing grassroots entertainment spot in the Crossroads to build. So this makes more sense to me.
Not sure about parking and getting in/out but having just researched parking/stadium experience at Coors field for an upcoming Royals series, it feels kind of similar. They provide like 4300 spaces in 2 lots and the rest seems to be find it nearby and walk. They could run the ****ing streetcar down there but then you run into KS/MO BS but either way this seems somewhat feasible on the surface. |

"If the Royals score 10 runs, everyone in attendance gets a free alignment!" *it's probably been 20 years since driving over that monstrosity, so hopefully they've done something about that by now... |

I think they could make the West Bottoms work as long as it means a TON of area improvements (roads and infrastructure), but I still think the East Village would be better in terms of location. Parking would be an issue, but up for anything that drives the demand for light rail from the suburbs into downtown.

There are a lot of new condos there, some good restaurants and a dive, and a great outdoor music venue. Lots of 20 somethings wandering around. The stench in the area can be a huge problem. I'm wondering how the hell the new bridge event space is going to work out. No one wants to have their wedding next to the sewer treatment plant. |

Parking a car at Coors is a ****ing nightmare. The city becomes gridlocked with cars, Ubers, street vendors, etc. And then on non game days the surrounding bar areas are dead. The whole experience in Denver gives a lot of insight into what KC is considering. Any soul or life was replaced by corporate restaurants and bars, but the public transportation makes KC's lightrail look ill conceived or at the very least decades behind. |

If KC could surround their city stadium with as many quality walkable breweries as Denver I'd consider moving back but everyone has their own personal pros and cons. There's never going to be some giftwrapped perfect location for everyone. |

Reminder that Lodo in Denver was a Scooby Doo Ghost Town before Coors field. That has to be the #1 most desirable goal wherever it goes. Words can't express the difference in that area of Denver.
