KC has a beautiful baseball park. Don’t ruin it by catering to millennials.
Lol yeah don't cater to the people that will be fans when the old people are dead or can't come to the games because of health. Why the hell does everyone have to constantly push back against change? Wouldn't the stadium have to be moved after the lease is up? Isn't that still quite awhile? Also being beautiful is not high on most people's list for what matters when it comes to a stadium. [Reply]

You can forget about a DT park now that the new buyers will have to pay 40/yr in debt service [Reply]

I would very much like a downtown stadium, at least for baseball. I don't care as much for football, though, for some reason. The stadiums are in such a shithole and there is nothing to do, at all, around the stadium complex. It's quite sad. [Reply]
I'm sure you're going to see a push for a downtown stadium. I don't know what's going to happen. KC is kind of in a weird position.
There are some teams who've done the new downtown stadium quite well. Look at the Twins.. if you haven't been, their stadium is great. You could see how something like that could work in KC. On the flip side, they were replacing the Metrodome. Plus they have an actual light rail that drops you off at the stadium. That's a huge deal for convenience and a lot of people use it. If you really wanted to do a downtown stadium right you really should create some kind of transportation to get people there.
The biggest issues are that KC is not replacing one of those multi-sport stadiums like a lot of these other teams did, they'd be replacing what is pretty universally considered one of the top ballparks in baseball, so there's a feeling of why spend a 500 million to a billion dollars to fix something that works very well. Then there's a tailgating culture in KC that some of these other cities don't have. It's obviously bigger for Chiefs games but it still exists in KC more than a lot of these other cities. Given the Royals general record over the last 30 years most of the fans are obviously diehards and have zero interest in catering to people who just want bars to go to and don't care as much about the baseball game.
