BREAKING NEWS: K.C. Wizards May Back Out Of Bannister Mall Stadium



I
t appears that the Kansas City Wizards soccer team may be about to back-out of their south Kansas City-MO stadium plan and move to Kansas City-KS instead.




In Wednesday morning's KANSAS CITY KANSAN- it was reported that- according to a story on "bigsoccer.com" (I couldn't find the story there)- Kansas City Wizards President Robb Heineman is in negotiations with Wyandotte county and state officials to build a new soccer stadium in KC-KS..

The Wizards currently play their home games in the T-Bone's Community America baseball stadium.


IF the K.C. Wizards abandon their current plans to build a new 18500 seat stadium at the former site of Bannister Mall- it's unlikely ANY re-development plan for the Bannister area will take place for years.

Lane4 Development Co. had wanted even more city financial help for the planned south KC-MO development- but that request was turned down.
