From the KC Star comes word of new discussions regarding the location of a KC Wizards soccer specific stadium
The Kansas Speedway area has emerged as the new choice for a long-sought Wizards soccer stadium in a sweeping proposal that would include at least 4,000 new Cerner Corp. jobs.
The developer working for OnGoal LLC, the owner of the Kansas City Wizards, has prepared a stadium plan for a site owned by Nebraska Furniture Mart. The developer is asking state and county officials to use revenues from the existing sales tax revenue bonds, also known as STAR bonds, issued for the Village West retail district to help finance the project.
An amateur sports complex with at least a dozen athletic fields also is part of the plan, bringing the total estimated investment to $400 million.
