South Kansas City Awaits New Soccer Stadium



Here in South Kansas City-MO- we're awaiting construction on the new Wizards soccer stadium & associated development.

One would think a neutron bomb went off driving on Chuck Eddy (Hillcrest) Road between 87th Street and Bannister.

It looks crappier every day.

As reported in this KC STAR article- the City Council approved the area plan in mid-December 2007. The plan called for the 18500-seat soccer stadium to be up and running in 2009.

As of this post in early July 2008- not one shovel of dirt has yet to be turned or wall knocked down on the eyesore Bannister Mall.

I wonder how they're going to tear it all down- site prepare- and put up a new stadium in 18 months?
