1. KU may ask local governments to ease some of those complications by
providing financial incentives to the project at 11th and Mississippi streets.
2. KU had largely put the east renovation on pause, saying it had no timeline for completing that renovation,
and acknowledged it didn’t have enough donor money or other funds to begin the project. Throw in the NIL stuff going on, you got donor fatigue. It is real and it looks like KU is getting a hard lesson in that.
3. Developers have told KU that it is infeasible to build a hotel or anything else on the east side of the stadium until KU actually completes the stadium renovations on the east side. This ties back to #2, which they do not have the funds for it.
4. But the massive issue is they’re talking about with the new development requiring the additional 100’ from the east side “shrinkage” is truly day one stuff. This is a massive **** job and a lack of oversight.
The two options are, they are either completely incompetent or they misled donors and the city. Both look pretty bad.
