That view is restricted by the bluffs to the east. The rendering is a bit of BS the city is up top you have some views but nothing like what the rendering is showing.

The fields footprint is right on top where the old cattle pins used to be. Gateway computers used to set next to those cattle pins. Some of the worst flooding has occurred in that area and we are due again.

I-670 was there 20 years ago you didn't have to use 12th street viaduct.

RE: West Bottoms, there have been minor improvements there over the last few years, with some breweries going in and new loft buildings going up. My understanding was that its a high priority to rebuild the area but stalled a bit after an initial push.

Earlier this year they announced a $500M plan to redevelop the area:

Not as much as you think.

It's helped make so much money that there is no need to pay baseball players or field a winning team. And once they connect Empower to Coors with a walkable neighborhood, there's no stopping the billionaires.

So there's a cautionary tale for the Royals.

It's been a wild success, and that's not debatable. There are case studies about it in economic development journals. The combination of LoDo, Ballpark, and RiNo have made for the best area for nightlife and restaurants in the state.

That sounds pretty good.

West Bottoms has to be in a flood zone. More than likely it wouldn't flood but you never know.

Feels like you can do better.


I just think some hero from Missouri needs to emerge that ends with a downtown stadium in the perfect location.

If anyone has been to petco park in San Diego that's the dream

I remember 1993. The whole area was underwater.

1993 was ****ed. The entire midwest was under water.

I was just down there last week. Walked all around. I suppose you could see the skyline as the stadium would be built up quite a bit. But the area itself is not as good as the East village
