Downtown or urban stadiums are always better but if something aint broke...
No.When the lease runs out on the K, the city and organization need to make it happen.

South of the Sprint Center.Where was the old KC star building for those of us who don’t know?
They'll end up in Nashville if they don't get a new stadium.Las Vegas will steal the A's,
Kansas City voters won't fund a stadium,
Oakland will get antsy and will put up money,
How Oakland steals two straight MLB franchises from Kansas City.
Now with boards on some of the windows. Will be used for other purposes. Heartbreaking,as was a great facility.South of the Sprint Center.
As with 99% of pro sports franchise owners, they'll end in whatever city or state will throw the most taxpayer money at them to subsidize their business.They'll end up in Nashville if they don't get a new stadium.

Isn’t this just a few blocks from the Power & Light District entertainment area?Really, they’re going to tear down all those buildings there? Also, is the Kansas City start in that building, or did they move?
Also, if they are going to build an entertainment area, that’s going to be a lot of eminent domain going on there.
That honestly would keep their division nicely intact.They'll end up in Nashville if they don't get a new stadium.

It was just one of the 2 or 3 possible sites. The article said the area just east of the old KC Star building. The new Star is just north of there. They have to be talking about the area on the east side of Oak St. Yes they will demolish a bunch of buildings.Really, they’re going to tear down all those buildings there?

If they are going to build a new stadium (which just kills me btw) they really should do it on the site of the old Manual High school. Really close to the Negro League Museum and the KC Royals Youth Academy. Would create a fantastic district linking the past to the present to the future.
I would like to watch a detailed TED talk on Sports Economics. I mean, how can you pencil out a $2B stadium? I know the snarky answer is "use someone else's money." But how can anyone pencil out $2B stadium?
Same here. I love Kauffman and their current location. Elite tailgating spot and easy access.I expect this to be an unpopular opinion, but as a Royals fan this sucks.
