Better venues usually bring better revenues. People are usually willing to spend more when there is more for them to do. |
I'm optimistic that it'll be a good result in the election, independent of the game. |
It has been a love affair because you could see at the end of the tunnel that this was going to be really good for the franchise and good for Kansas City. We were all motivated to get to the right area and fortunately it worked out well. |
It will be major transformation of Kauffman Stadium, keeping with the numerous good aspects, while also dramatically enhancing the amenities for fans. While there are certainly many beautiful ballparks in America, we think the 'like-new' Kauffman Stadium will be the best and most scenic family-oriented experience in all of baseball. |
More women's restrooms, doubling the amount of restrooms all over and more points for concessions. |
The Glass family will have the ability to take the incremental revenues and put it back into the team operations to improve our product. The fans want to see us be more competitive. |
The good thing about Kauffman Stadium is that we have space. We can expand without a problem. |
The overall number of seats doesn't change. Those are pre- and post-game seats, not baseball seats. But we think it's worth the investment. |
There will be complete circulation around the outfield and the fountains. |
We believe this was the right deal at the right time. There was no other better deal that was going to come along. We knew this was going to be important, and we can't wait to get started. |
We're only five percent finished at this point. We have 95 percent to go. You have to design and construct as efficiently as possible, in a manner that's very fan friendly and family friendly. |
We've got to attract fans to come out for an entertainment experience. It's not like the old days where they come, sit down and watch the game. |
