wow....excited for a soccer-specific stadium for the Wiz BUT still really bummed that the stadium location in KCMO got nixed. im a little confused about how it changed so quickly....i mean contractors have been tearing down the old Bannister mall for a year or more and then the plans evaporated so quickly? what happened?
The money that was supposed to go for the project from the city and state relied on retail being sold.
They couldn't sell the retail because the economy tanked, and the Wizards needed a stadium ASAP. Village West and the state of Kansas were able to provide funding quicker.
Well, if OnGoal had been able to move forward on the project without the obstructions of the Blight King, the Bannister project may have gotten a start prior to the economy heading south.
As it is, KCK has an economic engine already churning away that can squeeze a soccer stadium within its confines while KCMO sputters and stumbles.
