Kansas City Royals off to a good start to the season. 6-4 overall. 

 Entering Sunday, Royals starters had an MLB-best 1.26 ERA and just 28 hits allowed. Kansas City leads the league with eight quality starts, setting a franchise record with only eight runs allowed by starters over the first nine games (57 1/3 innings) of the season.

I think some higher rated teams had some bad weekends. 

22-7 keep on rolling! 

Updated B1G Standings, not rankings but. 

Really good win to keep the Big Red combine rolling through the B1G corn field. 

Really good start to

Being a Rockies fan (you heard that right) and seeing what Coors did for downtown is impressive.  KC's downtown, at least when I lived close, was an afterthought.  I think a plan like this can go a long way in making it a place to live, work, play, etc.  The KC sports complex, in my eyes, is awful.  There's nothing around it, yeah, sure, maybe the tailgating is good but whatever.  The renderings were awesome.  I much prefer a downtown setting.

 

Which is why you can NEVER move Memorial, unless it's a block over.  All these people wanting a dome halfway between Omaha and Lincoln don't get it.  Go to a game at KSU then Lincoln.  Totally different experience and one is way better!  I only get back to one game a year but I absolutely LOVE the experience of staying downtown and walking through campus to the game.  If they ever moved it away from that area I honestly don't know if I'd bother, probably just watch on the flat screen.

It is wild the attendance that Coors Field does, last year it looks like it was 13th in the league. Wow, with the team that the owners have put on the field lately that is impressive. Also I hope the Rockies get a new owner soon. 

I have wondered why the Royals didn't try to build a downtown bar/restuarant/shopping district near Kauffman. The Braves for example, are not downtown, but they built a district around Truist Ballpark that is like it.

I have also thought about the sales tax aspect of this.  But maybe it's tied to Lincoln hotels and a bit heftier than 1/8 cent.  

 

Not to thread jack, but what do the Royals do now?  I'm surprised the ballot measure failed.  IS a KC KS burb willing to do it?

I wonder if a restaurant/hotel tax in Lincoln would be the thing to happen with any public funding for the stadium. As it is those businesses that would be benefitting the most from events at Memorial? 

As a Royals fan I am concerned. I don't want them to go cray cray like the Athletics. I'm hoping they can get feedback from those opposed against the stadium, make some changes, add Crown Vision to the concepts and get a new stadium built. New stadium can be in the East Village, North Kansas City, Legends, I do not care as long as it is in the KC metro. 

I think Kauffman is beautiful as is but. 

NET or NPM now? should get alot more games on then they do currently. I know tv contracts of college sports, especially the B1G are very complicated though. 

So are there other NIL organizations here other than the 1890 Initiative? Is it the most "legitimate"?

Idk why but the NIL groups make me nervous. It just seems like it is the wild wild west right now. 

So a stadium like Memorial, concrete construction, 100 years old. How long can you expect such a facility to last? 

How long can you maintain and upkeep such a place? 

I only ask because Kauffman Stadium in KC, supppppppppposedly has concrete issues and it is only half the age of east and west stadiums here. 

Yeah no fun but right decision. 

Yeah I like that Oklahoma stadium expansion more. Seems more realistic to have something of that size. 

So do we think we see a scaled down south stadium project then? Hope some new vision comes out soon. Need to keep momentum rolling

Can't remember what reporter put out these pictures when Trev was leaving. 

Time to take down some more Aggies. 

Hats off the seniors. Still an amazing year. 

Their coach is annoying me greatly. 

Mast can't shoot or rebound or defend tonight. 

Need athletic forwards going forward. 

6 minutes to play with pride.
