Downtown Royals Stadium

[TitanClone]

NBA and MLB stadiums belong in a downtown environment since the seasons are forever long..

NFL can make both work.. I wonder if the Chiefs now build a new dome stadium where the K is currently???

This has been my bet all along. They could do it without impeding on the current gameday experience. They've put alot of money into Arrowhead recently so I doubt it happens very soon after the Royals move.

The Chiefs have already stated that they will renovate Arrowhead, they will not build a new stadium. And they won't dome Arrowhead.

I don't understand what more they could do to Arrowhead that doesn't involve a retractable roof type thing. To me the ability to host Super Bowls would be everything. They hit it out of the park on the 2010 renovation.

That was part of the initial vision of the street car. Hasn't gone anywhere. Took them forever just to expand it down to the Plaza and that construction has been a nightmare for traffic.

Second phase is near completion. Projects that require votes for funding, require moving utilities in a built out corridor, and cost hundreds of millions tend to take a long time to complete.

It’s coming along and the next phases will hopefully continue on its heels.

Messing with Mr. K’s legacy. Rich men and their toys.

Mr K would be happy to see the Royals franchise continue to be forward thinking and make changes that will be beneficial for the future of the franchise and the city.

Kaufmann has always been special to me. My grandpa took me to what was the first major league stadium I had been to. Ten year old me, fifty years ago, in a new stadium that at the time was state of the art. I loved those fountains. I understand moving on but I will miss that stadium.

And after they redid the stadium (what just 15 years ago?) it really upgraded things and made it a very fan friendly ball park. Such a great ball park now.

Yeah if you’ve got young kids that outfield experience area is great and there is just no way you can do all that in a downtown stadium.

As a Twins fan I'm excited about a downtown ballpark. Much easier for me to get to and much cooler atmosphere.

Although the K really is a great place to watch a game.

Now if they can just get an NHL team in the T-Mo center!

And give the team the Scouts name again.
