The Sports Business Journal put out a story yesterday talking with the architecture firm, Populous,
who is the firm that will be building the Wizards new stadium. Unfortunately you need a
subscription to read the full article, but a poster on bigsoccer has given us that information. The
article has lots of great insight into the new stadium.
A final agreement has been reached on the Wizards' plan to build a new stadium as part of a $414
million dollar development in Wyandotte County. The deal will be paid for in part by $ 85 million
in state money and more than $144 million in STAR bonds. In addition to the stadium, the project
will include a new office complex, youth fields.
Wyandotte County has called a special Board of Commissioners meeting tomorrow at 5 p.m. CT
regarding the Wizards stadium development agreement. All fans are encouraged to attend the public
meeting to show their support for the Wizards. (Wear your Wizards gear!) If the plan for a
soccer-specific stadium in Village West for the Kansas City Wizards is approved tomorrow,
construction would begin immediately.
The Unified Government of Wyandotte County has called a special meeting for 5pm tomorrow night and
the Wizards want you to be there in your Wizards gear. The special meeting is about the Wizards and
Cerner project out at the Legends. According to the Wizards, should the Unified Government approve
the deal tomorrow, construction would begin immediately.
While the American soccer community waits for word on Clint Dempsey's health, here are some news
items to go over:
Schelotto officially re-signed by Columbus. The Crew made it officially today,
announcing the signing of Guillermo Barros Schelotto. The real news is that he won't be counting as
a Designated Player in 2010.
For those that missed it, the Unified Government of Wyandotte County unanimously approved the plan
to build a soccer specific stadium and Cerner complex out at the Legends area. The deal means the
Wizards are officially on their way out to the Legends area permanently. The completion of the deal
means that work can get started out at the site.
