Downtown Kansas City

Downtown Kansas City The Official page of Downtown Kansas City! In the last 10 years, more than $6 billion has been invested in Downtown Kansas City.

Downtown Kansas City reached a tipping point this fall as national and regional media attention turned our way, piqued in part by two, world class experiences – the opening of the $425 million Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts and Google’s selection of Kansas City for its first high-speed fiber network. No city in America has done so much in such a short time to revitalize its Downtown, and

the world has taken notice:

Forbes magazine ranked Downtown as one of the "top 10 best downtowns in America". Frommer’s Travel Guides named Kansas City a “Top 10 Travel Destination for 2012” – the only American city on the list. Travel + Leisure Magazine rated us ”America’s Most Affordable Getaway”. Under30CEO.com ranked us the #2 city in America for Young Entrepreneurs

The Atlantic Magazine featured Kansas City in its series, “CITIES: Place Matters”, positioning KCMO and KCK as “The New Capitals of High Speed Internet.”

Kansas City has the opportunity to bring baseball back to where it originally started - woven into the daily life of our city. Our history is full of baseball teams and ballparks that laid the foundation for baseball in our urban core. Today, we are full of optimism and will continue to advocate for Downtown baseball as the details of this new plan emerge. While this process continues to play out, we are excited about the opportunity to bring baseball back to the place where it all began.
