KC Downtown Baseball

[strangerthings]

If those buildings peaking out over the top of the stadium are downtown then they must have shifted/rotated the orientation of the field/stadium. Originally you were supposed to have basically a straight shot view of downtown from home plate.

The orientation hasn't changed. I don't think those are supposed to be downtown. Possibly the Sheraton?

Its the church

A pretty good look at what is to come!

looks pretty nice. A little shocked it's going to be 34k seats, but the way it's laid out, it looks like a good size. I really like the limestone and columns, looks pretty classy.

Lol, the field reporter is entirely nonplussed about the whole thing. The stadium itself seems nice though.

I did hear during the press conference it has 34k seats and SRO for an additional 3K.

All the new stadiums being buit/proposed for the small market teams (A's, Ray and Royals) are all between 30-35K. I think even the White Sox new stadium pursuits might be have a 35k capacity, maybe 40 tops.

I'm quite impressed with the limestone idea. This is going to make a very distinguished stadium.

And most of the other stadiums that have done renovations in recent years have added party zones and such that reduced capacity. Cleveland and Colorado both some work in their upper decks that reduced overall capacity. What they added in amenities is being included from the start at the new Royals stadium. Minnesota did this as well but not as extensive or as big of reduction. Skydome (Rogers Centre) recently did extensive renovations (and greatly improved their stadium, it now seems like it was built only for baseball) and reduced capacity from 50k to 39k.

With ticket prices generally trending up, it seems most markets have reached the plateau with the number of seats they can sell per game.
