It was a big weekend in Kansas City - lots of excitement, new achievements, and a football game was played too.
On Friday an architecture firm released a concept for downtown KC ballpark. It took some elements from the Oakland Howard Terminal proposal (park like setting, large housing development behind the outfield) and added the Arizona pool in left field. They also helpfully released a 3d model, and I encourage all stadium architects to make this their practice. If you're interested in seeing the original, you can find the concept website
here (and some follow up articles
here and
here.) I named the park after David Glass, continuing the tradition of naming the Royals stadium after former owners.
The stadium appears to have more space in the right field foul territory than left, so the stadium plays a bit more friendly for righties than lefties.
