Because of the position of the sun in the sky during day games. Virtually ever ball park has the right field foul line on a the heading between 20° and 120°, most being around 90° with home plate on the west end.
Will all the construction going on in NKC by the redo airport this the best option as you can have parking and more visual of Kansas City in the background.
Royals stadium should get a roof. It would look lot better and cause of the heat in the summertime. Chiefs, could go either way but if chiefs get a roof leave it open when it’s cold. But if it gets below 15 degrees then the roof is closed
As a KC resident, I can tell you that these antics by Royals ownership has been shady AF! NO ONE is supporting this idea either from KS or MO. Missouri is ticked.
An MLB stadium where a player can literally hit a ball into another state would be incredible. Unfortunately, I don't think this can happen. The West Bottoms is a FEMA zone due to the 1993 flood. Missouri/KCMO probably not wild about footing the bill for another entertainment district in downtown KC. I would love for the Chiefs to stay at Arrowhead with a new sales tax and the Royals to move to the Crossroads via a new KCMO municipal tax. KCMO can't afford losing either of these teams.
The Royals rendering, as stated on the local news and every online story, is just a project by Manica. It’s not real. As for the Chiefs rendering it is also just a proposal. There is no architect for the project yet. But that location is for real.
Building a new stadium in the West Bottoms is idiotic. This area has a long history of flooding when the Missouri and Kaw rivers flood. Another thing, the location they have selected is less than a mile from a sewage treatment plant that smells bad. This is KCMO in panic mode. The Royals will be going to Kansas out by the speedway, too.
KC, MO. Is in the top ten of most dangerous cities in America. Kansas side is safer and better for that reason. Who would go to downtown KC, MO. these days? Not wise.
I only want either of these two options: 1. Keep the stadiums where they are but update them and build a ballpark village around them. 2. Move them to downtown. Either way, keep them in Missouri please.
Meanwhile, Robert Kraft built Gillette Stadium without ANY public funding. And won six super bowls. The adjacent Patriot Place is a major shopping, hotel, and medical complex. Hmmm.......
Rams did the same thing and they also won a Super Bowl with Matthew Stafford. Plus when the dolphins did a renovation on their stadium no taxes were used.
@@Mrcharles. I guarantee next time Miami Dolphins come knocking..they not asking they will demand funds for a new stadium or no more South Florida Football in Miami....ever. watch. Also congrads to Carolina Panthers getting public funds for upgrades to their stadium
@@morgana8006If you say location is awful, why did the team remain there for nearly fifty years? Seems to me they would’ve relocated sooner if that were the case
@@Mrcharles. Because Jackson County largely caved into their demands minus the rolling roof the last time the stadiums came up, which was a long time ago now. The area around the stadiums never developed, because stadiums don't actually develop the surrounding area. It's a dump. If you go to games, you know that, lmao. Not saying the experience is bad per se, community and tailgating is fantastic, but you are your own entertainment out there besides the actual game. One of the big gimmicks that the two teams had to begin with was the idea of a rolling roof going back to the 60's which never happened. It was also a much better environment politically for billionaires to ask for free money 10-20 years ago. It however has always been true the area around the stadium is basically a dump.
@@chicagodude8888The comments I’ve seen from some Missouri folk make it seem less like a joke though. Some of them are firm in their belief that, if the Chiefs & Royals move to Kansas, they’re completely done with them.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 They’re walking away from a dynasty over moving 10 miles across state lines? Extremely childish and probably a very small minority a fans.
4 World Series won 2, both better than average for the last 54 years they existed, they was bad through the steroid era cause they had nobody on steroids lol
"this rendering is crap and not legitimate" *proceeds to make a 10 minute video about the renderings* remember kids, if you graduate high school with a 2.0 GPA, stay a virgin through your early 20s, and fall down the alt right twitter rabbit hole, this can be you!
I don't get that YOU ARE THE CHIEFS, YOU HAVE WON CHAMPIONSHIPS. The fact that their stadium is so decrepit and voted last by players. I mean, some kind of improvement somewhere. Teams just make the playoffs & they do some kind of improvements. The Hunts don't strike me as a "holier than thou" ownership team. I know he's quiet and in the background a lot but c'mon!
The stadium is loved by players as a place to play. What they complained about is a locker room that hasn’t been updated and other equipment furnishing that has nothing to do with the actual stadium.
