If any one is interested here is a link to a new video of the Renovations to the K.  It's definitely the most information they've put out thus far.

The back logo and the crown on top are not going to be put on the scoreboard until after the season.

Does anyone know what's going on with this show???  They had released little to no info, then they said tickets were going on sale this weekend, now it appears (from their website) that they're scheduled to play in DC on the night of Aug 3.  Was it canceled??? Did negotiations fall through with the...

For anyone planning on coming down to see the Royals this summer this article has some good info on what you can expect Kauffman will look like with the renovations in full swing.

Here is a website of the New Arrowhead if anyone is interested.  http://www.kcchiefs.com/newarrowhead/

There is now a mini model of Kauffman on display near the current HOF.  The new Crown Scoreboard is going to be awesome.  It is going to be the largest video display in North America.  They had your native son Alex Gordon and Billy Butler do the unveiling.  Here is a link to pics of it for those...

Looks like Elton John will be the opening act for the Sprint Center.

Man you guys are touchy. I was just trying to give you guys a compliment. Sorry I offended all you insecure people in Omaha. If I wanted you insult you believe me I would have done better than "little town".

I assume when you say 800,000 you mean the whole metro area. Because there is no way 800,000 people live in Omaha.

Made my first trip up to Omaha for the concert on Monday. I live in KC so it took about 3 hours to get up there. It is one boring drive. You guys have a nice little city up there. I went up there with no expectations and was pleasantly suprised. Went to the old market and walked around and ate there...
