I am very excited for all these developments. I think the riverfront development is my favorite since I frequent it a lot. They are already rapidly building new apartments there but I want to see more commercial development, as a lot of that land isn't used.
Well, if KC does not build a new stadium they will eventually lose the team. How much would you pay to have the team go to Nashville? Kauffman is an amazing stadium…that is inconvenient to 70% of the metro area with disposable income to go to a game. The Royals need 20,000+ a game in attendance to be competitive. They currently rank 28th in attendance…out of 30. Downtown or in NE JoCo they would average 23-25K a game, which would generate an extra $70 million in team revenue per year, easily. That would keep the team profitably competitive for a long time. The current location of Kauffman is terrible, logistically speaking, and if the vote fails, the Royals are gone. The city will have decided to let them go. Johnson County will probably find a way to move the team there…how does that make you feel? The Overland Park Royals? Get used to it. Either that or Nashville…
@mandoreforger6999 that's ridiculous. It's the kc royals. They can't move. They either bring in more attedance or die here. However, it is even more ridiculous taxdollars pays for a privately owned business. Do we pay for McDonald's grills and whatnot? Do we pay for JE dunns trucks? Why are we paying for corporate overhead? Make them pay for it. Ya know like everyone else has to.
@@mandoreforger6999 If it's such a done deal that's so likely to succeed, then why do the taxpayers need to fund it? Surely there's enough rich investors jumping at the opportunity if it make so much sense.
For those keeping score at home, it took less than 90 days for the Royals to get another offer from somewhere else after the stadium vote failed. There are currently zero cranes in downtown KC, and all momentum from the last 20 years has completely gone away. Amazing to watch voters vote against their own self interests.
What are you talking about? They haven’t received any offers to move. Unless you’re referring to Kansas, which is still a long ways from becoming a reality.
They promised the same thing for the power and light as the new park. The Power and light district is constantly draining money from the city. It’s actually ruining the kcmo economy.
I’m not sure what you mean really. P&L has played a pivotal role in the resurgence of Kansas City’s downtown. It still has a ways to go, but there’s a lot of momentum building between the streetcar and south loop project. Neither of which would be possibilities had power and light not been developed.
@@movingtokc most jobs aren’t downtown most people aren’t downtown. Actually a very small percentage of jobs and people are downtown. They could have used that money to fix potholes and for other city services not just build attractions that don’t bring in revenue for the city. There’s no office space under construction on the entire Missouri side right now. What raises gdp and revenue and tax base is high paying jobs. Which are being created mostly in Johnson county
I don't live in KC and haven't for a number of years so for what it's worth...I thought the Royals were all about getting downtown when they first started talking of a new ballpark and now they're discussing NKC. I understand it might be cheaper to build up north but if you aren't going to go downtown...and you're just gonna move a bit closer, just stay out at the sports complex. I never understood why the city/county didn't ever try to develop that area in the first place. And just for my own knowledge, why is the ferris wheel only 150 ft? Why don't they go the full 200 to be on par with St Louis? Just some rants...great video!
I think it’s more of North KC trying to win the Royals over that the Royals wanting a ballpark in NKC. East village makes the most sense to me if they can work out the financials. There’s literally nothing there except for parking lots. It would be a huge addition to downtown. The location might be the reason for the wheel’s size. Many Kansas Citians have expressed their dismay about the site, but I think it’s a great addition and is making use of a space that has otherwise sat vacant for years. Thanks for watching!
Pretty sure the ferris wheel is for looking at I35. Pretty wierd. I guess you can see the IRS building. I wish they could put one up at my very favorite view of the city (cities). Up on the bluff behind Cambridge Circle.
I think Pennway will give some of us kansas citians a different view of the downtown skyline. It’s very accessible from major highways as well which is a positive. As far as a new royals stadium that’s tough but think true downtown is the way to go. I will miss Kauffman and the ease of going to a game. Downtown baseball can change a city’s direction tho. Look at Denver
Do I love the location? Not really. Am I going to let that ruin my excitement for the development? Absolutely not! It’s going to be awesome! East Village makes the most sense imo. It’s a desert currently.
The Royals have made it pretty clear that they want a new stadium. Ultimately, they’ll just go somewhere that’s willing to work with them if KC doesn’t agree. Just look at the Oakland A’s. I’m not saying I agree with it, but we need to get realistic about the future of the K.
Hey Kyle. I like the connectivity of the city but I am not in the 30s age range so feel like the downtown area may not be the best fit. Where do older KC folks live? Suburbs? Or perhaps Country Club Plaza? Have you done a segment on CCP? I heard that it was recently purchased and will be undergoing some changes.
Hi Lynne! Have you watched my West Plaza or South plaza neighborhood tours? You definitely don’t need to restrict yourself to the suburbs. There are a lot of great options around the Plaza. It is currently under contract to be sold to the owners of Highland Park in Dallas. They’re still in the due diligence phase so not a done deal quite yet.

The new royals stadium is the only plan I do not support. The royals are dreadful right now, if the royals cared about fielding a competitive team then I would think differently.
@@movingtokc The only place in KS with space is put by the speedway. Good luck getting wyandotte to pay for it. Johnson county is 100% suburban there ain’t room for a stadium there.
@@movingtokc Honestly I hope the consensus votes no, if we lose the royals oh well this 2+ billion proposal is ridiculous. Let them go to nashville and let KC get an expansion nba team. Baseball is dying.
KC literally just came out with a comprehensive plan to ensure that there are warming shelters available for every unhoused person this winter. But go on and complain about things you spend very little time attempting to understand 😉
Downtown sports stadiums are historically a great call for a city. Having to foot the bill for a mediocre to terrible baseball team is not awesome, but it would be so nice to hang out at a some of the cocktail bars/breweries near and around downtown and stroll into a Royals game. Definitely preferred over the weird quiet admission of people routinely drunk driving home from Kauffman today.
Who the hell is gonna want to watch the royals play at a downtown bar? I sure as hell don’t, baseball is a dying sport and that’s facts. This city is all about the chiefs, the royals are a memory.

The riverfront is going to be a game changer for KC!
I wouldn’t want the city to pay $4 for the Royals to build a new stadium let alone $4 billion
Be sure to vote in April 👍🏼

Downtown has come a long way over the past 30 years and I would argue that Power and Light has had a lot to do with it 🤷🏼♂️

@@movingtokc maintaining it is better then building another one
@@movingtokc I voted against it 🗳️
@@movingtokc 3/8 cents sales tax to renovate the current stadium
If Jackson County votes against it then there’s our answer. I think the majority would prefer the Royals to stay in KC though.
The stadium should be in Downtown
Hi! Can you make a video covering plans for the west bottoms please?
It’s on my list!

I agree! I’ve been to a few cities with downtown stadiums and lived in Denver for a decade. Downtown ballparks are a lot of fun!

Don’t move here. Then you’ll get stuck unless you’re rich.
