The greatest scam ever run on KC if this happens. Voters need to say no. But Voters in KC have never demonstrated they think.
The decline of the cities is irreversible |

it's a pipe dream for sure but as someone who wants KC to move away from a car centric city, I'm hopeful that the downtown stadium can catalyze much needed public transit infrastructure. One good sign though is that KC recently eliminated their parking minimums (KC is 1/3 parking lots lol), so hopefully this will facilitate getting rid of some of the parking lots and turning them into things people will actually use.
It's very unlikely to happen but I'd love to see the trolley trail get turned into an actual trolley route. Build an east west route and KC will slowly become the envy of even european cities. |

When San Diego decided to build Petco Park in downtown people had the same concerns some of you are complaining about.
However, the stadium did wonders to revitalize an aged, ugly portion of downtown San Diego and that area has thrived since. We have public transportation (trolley) as well as a number of parking lots/structures that help alleviate the congestion issue. Also helps that there's multiple freeway entrances near by. |

Anyone who's ever been afraid of a downtown park should visit Petco. Easy in/easy out. unlimited food and drink options within walking distance. It's perfect. And c'mon man....."but I tailgate at baseball games....". Really? |

Businesses around there (small to large) hit the jackpot. Businesses will always come and go, but having a stadium right next door would not be near the top of the list of reasons for a business failing. |

I live pretty much the same distance from Kansas City and St. Louis. KC is like 20 miles closer or so not that big of a deal. When I go to a Royals or Chiefs game, I drive up and come home. But if I go to a Cardinals game, I get a hotel and turn a one day trip into two.

Guys I've lived in the DC area for the better part of 30 years. I am excited for KC. The downtown parks in DC and Baltimore (not to mention other cities to visit like Boston, San Francisco, NOT Oakland, etc.) are really just great venues that breathe new life into the city. A downtown ballpark is great. For Chiefs games the tailgating is great, but for baseball who TF wants to hang around at the Truman complex? There is nothing else to do. Downtown baseball is the best. Can't wait to come visit.
