Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) If your staidum looks anything like the picture on mlsnet.com, you guys are going to have the second best looking stadium in the league. You guys and New York will have the best looking stadiums in the league, I love that it has a roof all round the stadium. Good luck on the vote and is there a date as when it going to be done. I would think if at breaks ground in Febuary or March that it could be done for the 2011 season (mid season).
Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) That would be great I hope this happens for you guys!!!!
Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) That would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Go to a game during nasty weather, won't have to worry about the car getting pelted by hail OR getting wet in the stadium! Nice. After looking at that rendering again, if you look in the upper left corner, it kinda looks like that fancy hotel just east of the racetrack on the south side of State Avenue.....maybe that's why I was thinking it was going in that spot at that first intersection instead of in front of NFM. I really hope that is where it goes. Plopping a stadium in front of a big box retail store just looks crowded and tacky (but of course I would take it if that is where it ends up!).
Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) I'm thinking that means "not us". Probably for players, suites and field box STH. On the bright side, tailgating indoors is problematic anyway.
Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) Yeah, I tweeted as soon as I saw the note about the t-shirt but I haven't seen anything since. Wondering if I'm really getting a free one...
Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) I'm wondering the same thing after making my facebook post.
Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) It is the weekend, and the video was posted late Thursday, there's technically been only 1 work day since the video was posted. I would think those of us that "won" shirts would be contacted this week.
Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) tweet Hillcrest_Road: The first yellow machine just pulled on the site. It's all happening.
Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) Fantastic. Can't wait to visit in 2011. Should be good times.
Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) I need a visual report...I live in the "Show me" state so until I see it, it isn't really happening!
Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) Spoke with Thad, he's apparently going to head out there soon. I may head over during my lunch today as well.
Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) I will buy you a beer if you take pics and post 'em here or on your blog!!!
Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) Evidently, machines 3 & 4 have now arrived... To paraphrase a popular saying, "Machine Driver, MOVE THAT DIRT!"
Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) + 1. (And I'm going to Philly in January, so I can even bring back some Yuengling for ya..)
Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) Well I only have my cell phone, but I'll see what I can do.
Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) Here is your visual proof http://www.hillcrestroadblog.com/2009/12/yellow-machines-on-site.html
Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) Based on past experience, I expect them to knock down NFM and then abandon the smoking hole for another state.
Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) We'll just move back to MO, they'll knock down another old building, saying that's our new stadium site, it'll site there, then we'll move back to KS, knock down Indian Springs Mall, leave it for another site on the MO side. OnGoal is actually in the demolition business.
Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) We'll see Buffalo roaming the open plains of Kansas City before this is done. Now where do we setup that web cam for 24/7 stadium porn? Its not like anybody has a bedroom window pointing at that lot ...
Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) These pics just got you a Six since you put the ball in the pics!!!!
Re: Wizards Stadium Discussion (Video update) So what's the blog going to be called now? Village West Parkway? State Avenue? Prairie Crossing Street? Furniture Mart's Neighbor? or my personal favorite: France Family Drive? Honestly though, I think Prairie Crossing wouldn't be too bad... Even State Ave. seems decent.
