Destruction is of local business Build it elsewhere At what appears to be a last minute decision, did this get decided to be the best place for a new stadium?

3/10/2024 8:48:06Work5th & Broadway YesMore people coming to KC to enjoy the downtown area Concerns: small businesses that are in that area as we own a small business and understand having to relocate as we are dealing with the new bridge construction Every other city has figured it out so I’m sure someone has a good plan Take care of those smaller businesses. Allow them space in the same area with same costs/rent for a few years to get them back on their feet.

3/7/2024 14:07:33Live (Own or Rent), Spend a lot of time in this areaBeacon HillMaybeI want a downtown stadium but don’t want so many business displaced Exciting to have a downtown stadium but business displacement concerns me. No ideaI liked the east side idea.
17
3/7/2024 15:31:12Spend a lot of time in this area, I live in the Beacon Hill neighborhood and work in the historic jazz district.Beacon HillYesI think the proposed location placement of the stadium could best leverage the current city/ county investments and successes of the crossroads, power & light district, crown center and most importantly 18th and Vine Jazz District. I don’t the East Village site can make that same impact as it is not adjacent to any of those major community nodes.

What I’m not good with is the total displacement of the existing small business owners that are tenants and not building owners. The tenants need something to allow this total business interruption not cause them to go into bankruptcy. This is my perception. That most of the building owners want to sell and and several small business tenants don’t want to be displaced. Therefore, a very robust opportunity needs to be proposed for each unique/ creative/ local/ visionary business owners. They need to be help define what that benefits agreement .
In addition, I think there needs to be much more robust conversation with the 18th and vine jazz district and not exclusively the East crossroads.

We are having the wrong conversation and process with the community. 		The Community Benefits Agreement on both fronts and it needs to be “designed” with the right local group of Kansas Citians. This could be the most CBA in the country and it could “redefine” the typical deals. It could be a win win. Pick the right team. Define this project around parking for the next 50 years and not like the last 50 years. Parking is a necessary evil but it needs to be scaled back all the time. I applaud the push back that there is plenty of parking around the stadium but access to that “real time” knowledge should be readily available and that should be the response. Followed by incentivizing ride share programs and public transit nodes.

Finally, let Kansas City become Urban and not let parking define its urban landscape. 		Good luck. 😀

3/7/2024 13:31:09Live (Own or Rent)Berkeley RiverfrontNoOur downtown is too small for such a large venue. It doesnt allow for affordable living. All its going to do is bring in more businesses and more congested. Everything will get more expensive.Our city is too small. Just because other cities have done this doesnt mean its the right solution for KC. The T-mobile center already makes the downtown too congested. Streets and parking cant accommodate. Traffic is already terrible. A downtown stadium will make everything worse. BTW, why does KC have to pay for any of this? The Royals make enough money that we shouldnt have to help them fund this project. Not put a stadium in a tiny downtown. Its going to be awful.Same response as above.
19
3/7/2024 14:15:01Live (Own or Rent)Berkley RiverfrontNoIt is a unique, small business neighborhood. A stadium would bring a whole new demographic that doesn’t fit in with all of the people and businesses already there.See abovePlenty of streetcars, signage about parking
20
3/7/2024 13:02:31Live (Own or Rent)Central Business DistrictYesI think it’s a bad deal. And all details should be known prior to the vote. But would never the less vote for. Excitement is downtown baseball. Concern is a bad deal. Deal should be a responsible one for taxpayers and not just a giveaway to billionaire Parking will be fine.
21
3/7/2024 13:05:21Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictNoHistorical significance of the Kauffman Stadium as well as the cost to tax payers The tearing down of the old structure concerns me as well as the cost, also traffic congestion issues concern me. Where would attendees park. The Royals games are only seasonal so what; become of the space during the off and winter season? Is it valuable to have an empty or under used stadium in the center of downtown KC during these times?
22
3/7/2024 13:09:42Live (Own or Rent), Work, Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictNoTax or not, it belongs in the East Village.It's an existing neighborhood. The Star Building is not old and should be repurposed.Traffic control and enforcement. Like, right now there's very little control downtown when large events happen at T-Mobile etc. The number of cars that stop or park where they shouldn't (One Light, Chipotle, etc) is absurd and creates bottlenecks. I'm sure it won't happen because PD doesn't care but if they did their job it would help.
23
3/7/2024 13:10:08Spend a lot of time in this area, I lived in the Crossroads for 10+ years and have several friends who own businesses in the area. My office address is within the Crossroads, but I work remotely. Central Business DistrictNoThe proposed East Crossroads location will destroy existing, local small businesses as well as cause long-term difficulties for the other surrounding local businesses to conduct their business due to the pains of construction. There is another location proposed that is close by but doesn't destroy or harm many existing businesses. They should look at a location that doesn't cause direct harm. Further, I don't believe that there is enough capacity to handle a large crowd of fans attending the games and that homegrown neighborhood efforts like First Friday, if occurring on a home game night, will suffer because there already isn't enough convenient parking to handle a summer First Friday. Further, several galleries and boutiques have expressed in the past that they gain little from having intoxicated individuals visit their shops - the danger due to product damage and no actual sales make it unattractive to be open during those times. There are also difficulties for individuals who work in the area to live close by due to increasing property costs, and the hassle of parking for workers makes it unattractive and harder to hire. The only businesses that may see a bump are food/beverage oriented. Art galleries will suffer because no one going to a ballgame is going to buy a $$$$ piece of art on their way. The stadium is only fan-occupied 81 days a year, but causes headaches for locals year round. See above. Put the stadium somewhere else. This is already a difficult location to access as it is. It already takes 10-15 minutes to drive through the surrounding neighborhood to get there and then more to find parking as it is.Putting the stadium in the East Village helps a blighted area, creates a new neighborhood with growth opportunities, and doesn't destroy existing businesses that gave the East Crossroads it's unique and successful atmosphere.
24
3/7/2024 13:10:33Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictMaybeI am concerned that it will displace too many vital small businesses who were incentivized over the last decade to move into the crossroads only to see themselves kicked out to make way for sports. I love the idea of it connecting to the 670 "lid" park and tapping into Power & Light. I have always believed that a downtown stadium would be an excellent move for the city. Use shuttle busses to transport from parking lots outside of the immediate area. On work days when there is a game, I am concerned that there will not be enough spaces in garages for employees of businesses as well as attendees of the gameI personally think the 18th & Vine area is a preferred location displacing fewer businesses and creating a connection between the Vine district and East crossroads cleaning up that stretch of road.
25
3/7/2024 13:12:39Live (Own or Rent), Work, Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictNo(1) corporate subsidy; (2) repeatedly told one thing, then shown another, so lost trust (downtown ballpark, then NKC, then East Village, then East Crossroads); Royals want more than just a ballpark, so no to entertainment add-ons (wasn't that the point of a downtown ballpark, that amenities were there or were more likely b/c of the density?); East Crossroads site is too big and destroys too many businesses, and will most likely destroy the nature of the entire Crossroads; East Village site was mostly parking lots and undeveloped, so made sense, but East Crossroads is developed and continues to develop.See above.Rapid mass transit system
26
3/7/2024 13:13:28Live (Own or Rent), Work, Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictYesbeing able to walk to games is a huge plus and think the area will grow even more Obviously the construction time will be an inconvenience but the excitement of a new attraction that will attract people in the future is exciting Encourage as much public transport and rideshare as possible have a clear parking plan to introduce to people well before - educate suburbanites about the 40,000 parking spots downtown There will be businesses affected like with any new developments so transparency and relocation efforts are critical to the success of this project
27
3/7/2024 13:16:48Work, Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictYesIt will add vitality and energy to Downtown Kansas City and generate more business for the Power & Light District which the City is already currently supporting.I'm concerned about the displaced business owners in the stadium footprint, and I trust that the Royals will both treat them fairly and help them relocate.The City should remove traffic-calming on Grand Boulevard and on Oak Street between Truman Road and 19th Street, and restore these streets to 2 lanes in both directions in time for the stadium to open.The Royals should collaborate with the Downtown Arts & Culture community to promote on their digital signage concerts and events happening at other venues in the Downtown area, rather than competing with them for tourism business
28
3/7/2024 13:22:45Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictYes Better than all the other proposed areas. Re development is goodParking is a concern. Safety as well. Propert taxes during construction Build parking between green space on the 670 capInfrastructure traffic control
29
3/7/2024 13:29:17Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictNoI support the business owners. A stadium would ruin Crossroads in the long term. People and businesses would get pushed out.Require construction of additional parking garages.
30
3/7/2024 13:29:57Work, Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictNoThink it better served in the East Village where it fills in major blight and gap area.
Unifies the east and west part of DT, will not displace existing CrossRoads businesses, better for parking . Those are just a few things that come to mind.
And more disclosure needs on the financials- public and private.		All the reasons above are my concernsMove to Gateway East area
31
3/7/2024 13:30:33Live (Own or Rent)Central Business DistrictYesI keep asking myself what would Kansas City be like without the power and light district and the T-Mobile center. I’ve lived in the Kansas City area from my entire life and up until about 10 years ago I would’ve never imagined living in downtown Kansas City. And honestly, I probably would have moved out of the city if it wasn’t for the vibrancy that projects like this has brought to our city.I’m concerned about construction that’s going to affect a great portion the area which I live in but I am excited for the new opportunities that this is going to bring. I’m an event, photographer and the Kansas City Royals bringing more events and bringing more enthusiasm to the city means a lot not just to me personally but a lot to my business.I think traffic flow in downtown Kansas City should be a top priority but it’s something that has been needed to be addressed for a very long time already. People also need to feel safe about walking to and from the parking garages and parking areas and so Security should also be a priority along with, other forms of transportation. The location of this project makes more sense to me than trying to create a whole other power and light district from scratch that then competes with the main power and light district, which is the heart of the city. I get that there’s a shock to the idea of the Royals taking up a major footprint in downtown, but the proximity of this location means that businesses that have already developed around this area are going to benefit and thrive and we’re also going to see new businesses grow out of this, I really hope the attitude in our community can start to open up to some of the positive sides that this can bring.
32
3/7/2024 13:37:54Live (Own or Rent), WorkCentral Business DistrictNo1. There is not enough free parking for downtown residents and their guests. Increased street parking costs and enforcement have impacted low income residents in the downtown area and this situation would only become worse with game traffic taking spots on the street residents would use. 2. KCPD does not have the resources to handle the increase crime that will come downtown with the stadium. Homicides, crimes against persons and property are already out of control downtown and would only get worse with more people downtown. The criminals will be out in force breaking into cars, committing street robberies and damaging property. 3. Already high rents would only increase more as more amenities are brought downtown pricing lower income and older residents out of the area. 4. Extending the tax for 50 years does not guarantee that the teams will stay here for 50 years. 5. We should not be paying for projects that would only enrich the owners of the team and Power and Light. 6. The East Village location was a perfect location downtown and provides more opportunity for neighborhood growth toward the east.See aboveMath is not wrong. There are not enough extra walkable parking spots downtown for events without impacting resident parking and parking for other events.Stop trying to make downtown KC a New York City. Until crime is reduced in this city, until more quality employers come downtown, until more affordable amenities come downtown, residents just cant give up their cars. You guys would love to have cars banned from downtown unless you are paying high parking fees and restricted 24/7/365 from parking free downtown. You have been forcing me to spend my money in other areas of the city with your parking restrictions alone.
33
3/7/2024 13:40:48Live (Own or Rent), Work, Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictMaybeI want baseball in the city. But we were sold one site and then last minute they changed it to an area that will result in destruction of buildings and small businesses. If the Royals are willing to offer concessions to both the business owners (not just building owners) and work with the Crossroads community, they could win my support Likes: -No new parking (but city needs rules to ensure property and land owners don't tear down and build parking lots
- Traffic calming on Grand
Concerns: -small businesses owners being compensated to their satisfaction
-protection of buildings adjacent to the site and protection of current lease holders from shady landlords 		Signage and a pubic service campaign. This is a neighborhood, not an amusement parkI feel like the city (mayor and council) was in on this because something this big wouldn't happen without them knowing. So I think they want it to happen so we need promises in writing how this will benefit the Crossroads community
34
3/7/2024 13:47:29Live (Own or Rent)Central Business DistrictNoDisplacement of businesses, destroying the arts culture Concerns above plus traffic on my commute homeNot put it in the crossroads
35
3/7/2024 13:49:58Live (Own or Rent)Central Business DistrictYesBrings 2 million people a year to downtown, removes massive, hard to renovate empty building in Star Printing Press. Very little of the six blocks in plan are well utilized. Hate tearing down buildings, but think it is best for long term health of city. I like that it utilizes the streetcar better than EV plan. More energy downtown 81 days a year. Wish Royals plan could incorporate usable buildings east of Oak.Add traffic officers to direct traffic on game days. Try to keep Oak open in Royals plan.Please support this plan.
36
3/7/2024 13:51:46Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictNoWould demolish unique buildings and destroy local businesses The loss of historical buildings and local businesses is unacceptable Invest heavily in public and alternative transportation
37
3/7/2024 13:54:08Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictNoIt will totally change the downtown and crossroads areas. The cute artsy crossroads will be no more. And parking will be even more of a disaster than the Current. Nothing excites me. The concerns I have are parking, traffic, changing the spirit of the crossroads, making it even more costly to live and rent business space in this area, and the kicking out of tenants who have been in that area.Not have it be there?
38
3/7/2024 13:56:46Work, Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictNoRuining an area that is already established and thriving. Move to where you aren’t destroying small businesses, there’s plenty of areas for that. Concern for the small businesses there on how the construction will impact them. And how much their rent/taxes will rise. Not move to that area. Lots of cars have been broken into when events are going on at T-Mobile arena. Don’t ruin a part of town that is known for supporting small businesses.
39
3/7/2024 13:57:27Live (Own or Rent)Central Business DistrictMaybeVery expensive to taxpayers over timeIt's good for KCVery very clear parking maps for everyone, on the web, in the newspaper. People directing traffic, at least at first.Downtown should be welcoming, not confusing and expensive. High parking rates for special events are very unfriendly. Even insulting. Glad I don't have to pay for them!
40
3/7/2024 13:57:33Live (Own or Rent), Work, Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictYesGrowth for KC Growth for Downtown.. will raise the bar We have a streetcar path and places to park along the way. This is not an issue
41
3/7/2024 14:01:38Live (Own or Rent), Work, Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictNoOnly because it will create a deadzone outside of event days - I'd rather not be taxed three times over eitherI like the synergy with P&L, South Loop, and T-Mobile. I also like how it solves the vacant KC Star building. Create designated parking / drop off areas and close off vehicular traffic within the P&L area. Biking, walking, and transit encouraged.I'd pay one tax, not three for the stadium (KCMO, JACO, MO).
42
3/7/2024 14:02:22Work, Lived downtown from 2019-2022Central Business DistrictNoTraffic and parking. There is not sufficient parking (despite what Earl Santee says) and whenever is more than one event going on in the CBD at the same time, the highways in every direction are a complete mess and backed up at the few exits people use. One can sit at stoplights for several cycles once in the CBD as basically every intersection along Truman road from Broadway to Charlotte is like that. Just for those two reasons alone, there shouldn't be a stadium anywhere near downtown. Get some real Public transportation first and then you can think about building a stadium. I work on the 1500 block of Grand. There are at least 6 restaurants that will be demolished just from Truman to 16th along the east side of Grand. There aren't that many reasonably priced places to get lunch right around there anyway, so let's tear some more down? Just dumb. Keep the stadium where it is. Or why don't you have people park where it is now and bus them downtown? (That's a joke).Tell the city to quit subsidizing billionaires with taxpayer money after hiking up my property tax by over 400% this year.
43
3/7/2024 14:10:42Work, Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictNoTired of paying taxes for the stadiums that cost to much for us to attend.
44
3/7/2024 14:30:36WorkCentral Business DistrictNoI think the other downtown location will expand the entertainment district and connect to the 18th and Vine and Negro Leagues helping that tax supported area as well. I especially dislike not having definite and financial plans in place.I am concerned about day games and parking with no additional garages; i dislike loosing the smaller music venues; I dislike not having additional/ easy highway access- People will sit in traffic jams while others will completely choose to doge the area completely.Add a Garage and ramp access- look at other cities I like the idea of downtown stadium, just not this location.
45
3/7/2024 14:39:29Live (Own or Rent)Central Business DistrictNoEast Crossroads is a sub-optimal location.All concerns. Baseball season runs 6 months of the year. Every stadium built in temperate latitudes sits empty, dark, and hulking the other half of the year. Empty, dark, and hulking isn’t what the East Crossroads—or downtown KC—needs.Put the stadium north of the river. While not a blank slate location, it can more readily be adapted to the needs of a large, open-air, seasonal assembly venue. (That’s partly why Live Nation chose north of the river for the amphitheater project now under construction.)KCMO should have zero role in owning or operating any additional assembly buildings. They can’t manage the ones they own well. The cleaning standards not observed around the convention center, music hall, jazz museum, etc. provide weekly evidence that KCMO would struggle to care for any real estate that caters to guests and recreation.
46
3/7/2024 15:16:25Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictYesI have always wanted downtown baseballExcited about the synergies between P&L and the proposed ballpark.I’m not worried about parking
47
3/7/2024 15:29:35Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictYesAccepting that a partially-taxpayer-funded stadium is basically inevitable, I think the Crossroads site is the best location because A) it will support P&L rather than cannibalize it like the East Village having its own entertainment would have and I want KC to stop paying out $10 million+ annually because of revenue shortfalls, B) it offers a better view of downtown through the outfield than the East Village and C) it is close enough to the streetcar to make it a viable piece of the transportation puzzle for the stadium. Excites: the stadium helping fund an even bigger 670 cap park .

Concerns: I want the Royals to help support the business owners being affected, NOT just the property owners. I want KCMO and the Royals to use this opportunity to figure out a MUCH better solution for utilizing the 30,000+ parking spots in a more efficient, simpler way than the current hodgepodge of private, public, etc. I don't want all the businesses in close proximity to be forced out by higher commercial rents related to the stadium. 		The city needs to own a system that helps manage the parking lots throughout downtown so that people coming to the city can easily find and pay for a parking spot. This system should also be of benefit to the parking lot owners because their lots should be more fully utilized. I don't know if a solution like this exists but it should.
48
3/7/2024 15:32:29Live (Own or Rent)Central Business DistrictYesLove downtown getting popular again. Increase property value. Parking garages
49
3/7/2024 15:51:06Live (Own or Rent)Central Business DistrictNoEast Village is ready and open for building stadium. Crossroads requires displacing/ruining vibrant LOCAL business communityconcerns - building stadium here helps a few people/businesses - Cordish for one. But ruins character of East Crossroads and removes many great local businesses that are already there!LOL. Good luck. Imagine the mess when T-Mobile and even Midland Theater has an event on baseball game day/night.
50
3/7/2024 15:51:56Live (Own or Rent)Central Business DistrictNoIt would fundamentally change the character of the neighborhood in a negative way. It would put several beloved business either out of business or at risk. It would greatly increase vehicle and pedestrian traffic to the financial benefit of only a few people. The Crossroads does not need this kind of infusion of opportunity. We should be supporting new, small businesses and the arts community in the area. And the way this is being handled by the city feels corrupt. There are more beneficial uses of these resources, like road repair, trash removal, dealing with the unhoused, controlling excessive vehicle noise and small vehicle racing on city streets.Please see previous answer for a list of concerns.Frankly, build the stadium elsewhere.No.
51
3/7/2024 15:54:17Live (Own or Rent), Work, Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictNoThe crossroads neighborhood is a local gem. It should not be demolished to build a stadium for billionaires at the cost of tax payers. They are trying to put the stadium in an already thriving area where there is already NO parking. Put the stadium in the east village and build parking for it.
52
3/7/2024 16:01:20Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictNoIt will create congestion, a very different focus from the arts and food scene now there, it will close small businesses that make the city unique and colorful, I think there are nearby less populated areas for a downtown ballpark, and generally total destruction of the Crossroads as it has grown up to becomeIt will destroy a neighborhood that is my favorite in the whole city. It will change the fabric of the arts district.move the entire project to a nearby area with more open land, where parking can be onsite and fewer businesses will be displacedIt's heartbreaking to feel this project will move forward and there is nothing that can be done about it
53
3/7/2024 16:02:38Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictNoThey need to get bi state tax. Bi state taxThey don't have MODOT on board. There is nothing the City can do. MODOT is not going to help the congestion. Johnson and Wyandotte Counties need to pitch in.
54
3/7/2024 16:06:08Work, Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictNoThe KC Star building is unique, beautiful and less than 20 years old. There is a location nearby (East Village) that does not disrupt existing buildings and businesses. I would support if East Village were the location.I want a downtown stadium; I am perplexed why East Village isn’t working out. I’m concerned about traffic, parking, and a tax that lasts for 40 years to subsidize a very successful private enterprise.Build their own parking/ use a different location. I really wish East Village location had been selected.
55
3/7/2024 16:06:28Live (Own or Rent)Central Business DistrictYesLooks awesome, and I hardly call the proposed stadium spot the cross roads. There’s a vacant KC star building there now and tiny business (including a strip club).Looks awesome, no concerns.I’ll just walk to the games, build a parking garage. Idk figure it out.Ya [redacted] the rail car. So slow and clogges up the street.
56
3/7/2024 16:17:22Live (Own or Rent), Work, Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictYesIt brings more money to the area, so the overall area will be improved. I’ll be available to attend more games due to proximity.I would prefer it be east of city hall instead due to that area already having so much traffic. The street car will help, people can park as far down as the plaza and ride down. ACCEPT CHANGE- we’re on the map now, drop the small mindedness.
57
3/7/2024 16:26:05Live (Own or Rent)Central Business DistrictNoMy home is one block away. I do not want to live in a Ballpark Village. It does not fit in to the Crossroads neighborhood. I would prefer East Village where there is plenty of room for new development. We don't owe anything to Cordish as they have not fulfilled their promises. Nor do we need to bail out the Privitera family from their poor decision to buy the Star buildingTRAFFIC - especially on nights when other activities are going on in the neighborhood i.e. first friday, T Mobile concerts, Symphony, Midland eventsDon't put it here!I like the Royals and own partial season tickets. I like the idea of a downtown stadium but do not like the location that they dumped on us last minute. Really bad PR on the part of the Royals organization.
58
3/7/2024 16:28:11Work, currently in Union Hill but have lived in the boundaries in the past, as well as Columbus Park and CrossroadsCentral Business DistrictYesGreat location closer to existing cultural assets & streetcar that will complement rather than compete with P&L district. No new taxes.Love the idea to extend highway lid park to incorporate the stadium. Gets rid of the former Star printing press problem. Only concern would be if surrounding areas get demolished for parking.Stop blocking Grand. Let traffic flow through instead of it all diverting to Main. Have traffic cops direct vehicles before and after
59
3/7/2024 16:33:16WorkCentral Business DistrictMaybeNo difinitive design or parking established, upgrades at Arrowhead lacking. Traffic during other downtown events. Horrible outfield viewAt least on large parking garage requiredI’d rather have the Royals stay at the K until a better deal for the city is made.
60
3/7/2024 16:40:59Live (Own or Rent)Central Business DistrictNoI believe there is nothing wrong with the concrete at Kauffman, and it was made up or used suspect data to make the case for a new stadium.All the parking ramps will NOT be available and will NOT be 100% empty when there is a game. First Fridays, T-Mobile events, Grinders concerts and events at Power & Light will take up a lot of parking and it will be a giant cluster if there is a baseball game at the same time. Plus I can see more days when there will be "event rates" in the parking lots and ramps when there is a game.

3/7/2024 16:43:29Live (Own or Rent)Central Business DistrictYesOur family stayed in downtown Cleveland, Ohio this summer for a week and it was the first time we had visited a city with a downtown baseball stadium. There were three game days while we were there and the difference in how many people were downtown and how absolutely full the bars, restaraunts and businesses were all day long on those days compared to the other days were undescribable. Everyone in team wear, having a blast and pumping money into the area the entire day. It was absolutely electric! They have an arena across the street where we attended a family show during a baseball game going on at the same time in the next door stadium. Was there heavy traffic when they both got over at the same time? Yes. But as we walked through it everyone was all smiles on the vehicle occupants and it was no big deal as most came early, stayed late or both and became patrons of the businesses to avoid the rush. I never cared one way or the other before because Im not a baseball fan but I immediately told my family I now get it and absolutely hope we get a downtown stadium to bring that same invigorous atmosphere 81 or so days a year to our home!

3/7/2024 17:01:50Work, Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictNoThis space is a place for music, performance, and visual arts. For the last twenty years, the little guys in these industries and restaurants/ small business have built the area from nothing into a community. It is a cruel thing to displace people that don’t fit an outsider’s agenda. It is all deeply concerning. What is this allowance teaching future generations? Have the stadium in a different location. Like one that has easy access to highways so we are not living in a constant gridlock. I live with my family near children’s mercy and commute by bike or car to work after dropping my kids off at school downtown. Gillham road, which turns into Oak St. Is a major thoroughfare for school buses, ambulances (especially to the children’s hospital), commuters to and from work. It seems like poor urban planning to cut that off, making Main Street (behind the street car) to side streets the primary route for those users. Those that do not experience the traffic daily are blinded by a glamorous concept instead of realities.
Also, people are worried if this doesn’t happen, the team will leave. No one wants to pay that kind of money for the second to worst team in MLB.

3/7/2024 17:11:14WorkCentral Business DistrictNoI don't think it's a sound decision. I feel the stadiums are appropriately located currently.Loss of area character. Influx of traffic. Don't put a stadium in the Crossroads.

66
3/7/2024 17:15:41Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictNoPeople/businesses in the area have spent years building a vibrant community with its own feel. With areas that NEED the kind of investment that they're talking about for this project, it feels like a slap in the face to choose to basically risk destroying the arts community and nearby small businesses to shove another massive corporate entity in the area.
Aside from the concerns above, the way that the entities involved went about this reeks of millionaires (and billionaires) enriching themselves at the expense of everyone else, and trying to do it on the sly, at that. The Royals have literally spent months pushing for two sites that are far more in need of revitalization, then threw this site in at the last minute. And don't get me started on a family buying a beautiful building with tons of potential and insisting that they were planning to develop it, only to turn around and say, "Nah, bulldoze it."Put the whole thing somewhere else. Anyone who thinks there's so much easily available parking downtown that you can add ANOTHER stadium and entertainment district into it without also adding parking apparently has never tried to find a decent (and fairly priced) place to park on weekends like this one, with Planet Comicon and the Big 12 Tournament at the same time. Bluntly, this option sucks.
67
3/7/2024 17:18:18Live (Own or Rent)Central Business DistrictMaybeI am completely for a downtown stadium, but East Village is ideal. The renderings look great, but at the cost of a lot of businesses and heavily increased traffic when multiple events happen in the immediate vicinity.Excites: economical benefit, push for decked park over 670, beautiful and cohesive design energizing the area.

Concerns: Traffic, destruction of many local businesses (presumably with no assistance to re-home them)		Greatly increase frequency of streetcar (less than 5-8 minutes between pick ups); local day-of traffic changes to seperate T-Mobile and Pnl traffic temporarily from stadium traffic; increase and greatly improve 71N and 71S flow during get time (1 lane each way is not going to cut it on game and event days, it already backs up before and after rush hour); the city or team needs to supply a high capacity garage dedicated to the stadiumThere are A LOT of #SaveTheCrossroads advocates out there. I'm very worried for this. The above situations all need to be addressed to ease public minds, otherwise this is likely to fail

71
3/7/2024 18:28:02WorkCentral Business DistrictYesI think the benefits of bringing more people from other areas in KC and out of town visitors outweigh the unfortunate displacement of some of the businesses in the footprint.Excited for more people to experience and love the Crossroads while going to games. I think there are a LOT of people that have never been there that will really like it and go back on non-game days. I'm concerned with construction, dirt and road blocks for the businesses around the footprint while the stadium would be built. I'm also concerned about an increase in crime and trash in the Crossroads from game attendees. I'm also concerned about game attendee's cars cannibalizing all the nearby parking, causing massive decreases in business for the retailers all over the Crossroads. Make parking available in the East Village, maybe build a garage if necessary, and provide shuttle service for the few blocks between there and 14th/Oak. The comments of 40,000 parking spots within the downtown/Crossroads area is a farce. Many retailers can't count street parking as part of their mandatory parking requirements, why can the Royals. Tailgating aside, this is a huge issue. KC is not a public transportation using market and most fans will come from JoCo, Lee's Summit/Blue Springs and other outlying areas, in their cars. They'll come once and never again if they have to drive around looking for parking for an hour and/or park a mile away. I've talked to several business owners in the CR who have valid concerns. The Royals never communicated to them about this, nor did the city, it was a surprise to many when they read it online and that's not building good relationships. Also, and I lean to agreeing, the Royals are owned by a collective group that includes multiple billionaires and everyone I've talked to feels they should foot the entire bill. Plus, the feeling is if the sales tax passes, the Royals still intend to go to the city and state and ask for hundreds of millions more. They also don't believe it will bring any additional business to them, which I don't fully agree with, but I still feel the positives outweigh the negatives. I just don't like the finances of the whole deal.
72
3/7/2024 18:34:21WorkCentral Business DistrictNoBecause parking is already completely screwed downtown every single time there is an event at the TMobile center and this b.s. development has zero parking. Also, I am someone who is a patron of some of the businesses that will be displaced by this moneygrab development.I am absolutely concerned about...the financing...the parking...the fact that it's being used to help prop up the Power and Light District, and the fact that it is a blatant sop to a very rich man to make him even richer. There is zero reason for any downtown baseball stadium, even to give the Chiefs a little more parking area. If anything should be redeveloped it should be the areas around the current stadiums and the current stadiums renovated.Do not allow them to build the stadium where they intend to build it. If anywhere it should go on the east side location and parking should be built as part of the equation necessarily. Do you see what a cluster the KC Currents stadium is specifically because there is not enough parking?I totally get incentive based development, but KCMO has been completely screwed by developers taking advantage of incentives. To do what is being proposed for a team that is not remotely performing because it's very rich owner won't actually invest in players? This is madness. You are going to gut an organic development that makes Kansas City interesting, to bail out the people who were stupid enough to buy the KC Star building? Only to screw over everyone who works and lives downtown right now, exacerbating an already completely screwed up parking situation? To line a very rich man's pockets why screwing the tax base? Seriously, just stop. The tax is going to get voted down. Sports teams blackmail never EVER benefits the cities/counties who are taken for a ride.

3/7/2024 19:56:03Work, Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictNoBuild a stadium without killing businesses. Traffic will be insane. It’s not just that section of downtown that will be effective. It will change how downtown feels entirely. I don’t think putting a stadium there will be good for Kansas City. We need more restraints, art and music venues, not something really large that restricts the entire area. Don’t have a stadium in the middle of the city. Ask yourself who this stadium serves the most? Effects the most? Is it for the people that work and live there or people that drive in from suburbs and out of town? Who is this really for? I’m not against building a new stadium, I just think it could be built somewhere else where it can serve all people and protect the unique culture that is growing in the current neighborhoods. Thank you for giving people a place to put their thoughts.

3/7/2024 20:24:22Live (Own or Rent)Central Business DistrictNoEast Village is the better option. It is still within a few blocks of the entertainment district, but would displace fewer businesses and buildings.Well, if it HAS to go there, I can walk to the stadium, BUT getting in and out of my neighborhood on game days (when not attending) will be a nightmare. East Village does not have as many residents that would be impacted by game traffic.Move to East Village! The largest group to support the DT stadium are now your largest opposition group. Think about that for a minute.

3/7/2024 21:17:30Live (Own or Rent), Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictYesThere is little on the site currently worth saving. It’s a poor use of the current space. The proximity to P&L is the most ideal location possible. I’m excited about living and working downtown and being able to walk to Roylas games—something I now mostly never do. Im also excited about the increased traffic and interest in the area—a rising tide that will lift all boats. I’m not qualified to say. I’m massively in favor of the proposed location for a new stadium.
83
3/7/2024 21:22:59WorkCentral Business DistrictNoI do not want to see a unique and beautiful KC neighborhood destroyed for the sake of billionaires’ whims. I don’t want to be held hostage as a taxpayer in this community, and if the team wants to leave the county over this, let them. Nothing about this proposal excites me; I think it’s a terrible idea that will harm the community and the small businesses we love.Vote no on April 2nd would be a start.This is a harmful tax on the working class to fund a half-baked idea for a team that, frankly, doesn’t need or deserve a fancy new stadium. It’s an expensive project none of us asked for.
84
3/7/2024 21:28:11Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictNoThat entire area is the essence of Kansas City culture. It would destroy small businesses and a huge part of what makes our city special. Not to mention the parking would be a nightmare, as would going downtown on a game day. I live by the legends and if there’s a Sporting game all the businesses suffer because there’s nowhere for shoppers to park. So, not only would it remove the small businesses that are there, but it would be detrimental to other businesses in the area. I think this is a cash grab for the owners. They want the real estate so they can sell naming rights to the field and stadium. It has nothing to do with what’s best for the team or city. It’s disgusting. You can’t. Unless you tore down even more businesses (and history) for parking. But even then, traffic would be hell. Please fight this. Please save the Crossroads.
85
3/7/2024 21:29:51Live (Own or Rent)Central Business DistrictNoWe shouldn't tesri down an existing neighborhood. We shouldn't give public money to billionaires. We don't know all the details. We should care more about the city and region than sports teams.Lack of mass transit plans. Potentially a wasted space when not in use.Prioritize other modes of transportation other than drivingThe lack of cohesive. It feels like a neighborhood where people in power and influence rather see it a playground for suburbanites than a thriving neighborhood.

3/7/2024 22:07:45Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictNoThey will be destroying a thriving area and asking us to pay for it. A downtown stadium might be fun but we have little info about the final cost to us or what the exact plan is not have the Royals been very open. The city is not protected from default by the Royals.It would be fun to be able to take the streetcar to a ballgame but what a shame to destroy this thriving and dynamic area when other options exist. Though I don't live in the area, I live in Union Hill and worry about people parking in my community (Union Hill) to take the streetcar Yikes, who knows.I feel we have too little info from the Royals to judge the possible impact. At this point, I don't trust them.

Concerns: I’m devastated by the potential to destroy so many small business, most who lease there space and will be the ultimate losers if the stadium lands in the easy crossroads. Extra bus routes, clearly designated and marked ride share locations.

3/8/2024 5:47:59Live (Own or Rent), WorkCentral Business DistrictYesI support a downtown stadium. I feel that if they are not going to develop around the stadiums they should move to another area The businesses in the proposed site and the fact that they weren’t considered or regarded in the location choice. I feel the East Village would have been a better location for access and an area that needs a bump. The crossroads sight is actually been on a way up for a while. The East village is not. Also it would have been nice to see the KC star building repurposed for a museum or something. Will miss seeing it. I feel like parking for the games won’t be much different than it is when there is another event going on. Take for example the big 12 and comicon on the same weekend. I work in the Crossroads and parking there is a challenge now. More because of the paid street parking than events. Where we used to street park we try to find other options due to the zones and 3 hour limit. Now our street is empty most days due to the hassle of moving your car to a new zone. The city should add a street parking monthly cost for areas where people work. I am excited for the stadium to be downtown. People coming from out of town for games get a much better representation of our city and much more convenient and enticing to visit. I do wish that there were more options for owning a location to live downtown rather than continual building of more and more apartments. I love seeing increased housing always, but people who own may be more vested in the area and neighborhoods.
92
3/8/2024 7:07:22Live (Own or Rent)Central Business DistrictYesIt benefits downtown property values.I think the East Village site made way more sense. I think the East Crossroads is a mistake.The city needs to unblock Grand so that it's two lanes going each direction. On-street parking shouldn't be allowed on Grand. The same should apply to Truman going both directions. There needs to be a public parking garage built near the stadium. Ideally, the garage would be in a location that's convenient to the T-Mobile Center, too.Fire the City Manager who thought blocking the roads downtown was a good idea. Making it harder to drive in and out of the city is a detriment to our continued growth. Downtown can't survive without people coming in from the suburbs.
93
3/8/2024 7:17:53WorkCentral Business DistrictNoAwful idea to have the stadium downtown and on top on everything!!!

94
3/8/2024 7:45:03Spend a lot of time in this areaCentral Business DistrictNoWe already have a stadium with parking and the proposed location doesn’t make sense.Parking and driving is already a nightmare. Our public transportation system is inadequate. How will the city handle an arena show and a baseball game without any additional parking, especially for people that commute from surrounding communities.Move the proposed site to not displace already thriving businesses impacted. Not have a stadium next to an arena in the downtown loop. Build adequate parking structures and lots to accommodate the flow of fans and spectators.This makes no sense. Why can’t we renovate the existing stadium? This seems like a cash grab to take advantage of tax breaks and to pass off the cost to the taxpayers and residents of KC who will be negatively impacted by an additional influx of thousands of people on game days. Why wouldn’t we revitalize and improve an site even just east a little bit that is packed with derelict and abandoned properties and could offer additional parking.
