PROJECT THESIS THE GOAL OF OUR PROJECT IS TO ACTIVATE THE CURRENTLY UNDERUTILIZED SITE AT THE TRUMAN SPORTS COMPLEX IN KANSAS CITY, MO. ARROWHEAD AND KAUFFMAN STADIUM ARE THE ANCHORS FOR OUR DESIGN, AND OUR PROJECT WILL ENHANCE THE SURROUNDING AREA AROUND THE STADIUMS TO GENERATE MORE REVENUE AND DRAW PEOPLE TO THE SITE YEAR ROUND. PEOPLE ONLY VISIT THE SITE DURING GAME DAYS, CONCERTS, AND A FEW OTHER EVENTS OCCURRING THROUGH THE YEAR. THERE IS ALSO NOTHING ON THE SITE TO ENCOURAGE FANS TO ARRIVE EARLY AND STAY LATE AFTER THE GAME. OUR GOAL IS TO ADD DEVELOPMENT TO ENHANCE THE CURRENT FAN EXPERIENCE WHILE ALSO ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO VISIT THE SITE ON NONGAME DAYS.

HOME GAME SCHEDULES

VENUE USAGE AND REVENUE GENERATION THE SITE IS ONLY USED ABOUT 90 DAYS OUT OF THE YEAR (MAY BE USED MORE DEPENDING ON THE LINE-UP OF EVENTS FOR THE YEAR). THIS MEANS THAT THE SITE SITS VACANT APPROXIMATELY 275 DAYS PER YEAR. ON THE DAYS THE SITE SITS VACANT, THERE IS NO REVENUE GENERATION FOR THE CITY OR THE TEAMS. THE HOME GAMES GENERATE A LOT OF REVENUE FOR THE TEAM AND CITY, SO THERE IS THE POTENTIAL TO GENERATE EVEN MORE REVENUE BY UTILIZING THE SITE MORE. THE GOAL OF OUR PROPOSAL IS TO UTILIZE THE STADIUMS OUTSIDE OF GAME DAYS AND ADD DEVELOPMENT TO ACTIVATE THE SITE YEAR ROUND AND GENERATE MORE REVENUE.

CELEBRATION PLAZA

HEALTH CENTER (WEST) AND SCULPTURE PARK (EAST)

THE CELEBRATION PLAZA IS DESIGNED TO CONNECT THE TWO STADIUMS TOGETHER AND ACT AS A PLACE OF CELEBRATION AFTER A WINNING GAME. A VARIETY OF DINING OPTIONS LINE THE EDGES OF THE PLAZA WITH INDOOR DINING, ROOFTOP BARS AND OUTDOOR PATIO SEATING.

THE HEALTH CENTER (WEST) AND SCULPTURE PARK (EAST) LINE EACH END OF THE CELEBRATION PLAZA. THE HEALTH CENTER CAN BE USED BY THE TEAMS AND THE COMMUNITY FOR APPOINTMENTS AND TRAINING. THE SCULPTURE PARK FEATURES A FOOTBALL GAME FROZEN IN TIME WITH LARGER-THAN-LIFE PLAYERS FOR PEOPLE TO INTERACT WITH WHILE VISITING. THERE ARE ALSO A FEW GRABAND-GO DINING OPTIONS FOR QUICK FOOD OPTIONS.

HOUSING (NORTH) AND CORPORATE OFFICE (SOUTH) LOCATED NORTH OF THE PLAZA IS THE RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX AND HOTEL. THE HOTEL HAS AREAS THAT OVERLOOKS KAUFFMAN STADIUM, CREATING A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE FOR VISITORS. SOUTH OF THE PLAZA IS THE CORPORATE OFFICE COMPLEX THAT OVERLOOKS ARROWHEAD STADIUM. THE TALLER BUILDINGS ARE LOCATED AT THE PERIMETER OF THE CURVE TO ALLOW VIEWS INTO THE STADIUMS AND SEPARATE THE MORE PRIVATE SPACES FROM THE PUBLIC AREAS.

SITE ACTIVITIES WITHIN DEVELOPMENT THE OVERALL THEME FOR THE DEVELOPMENT IS TO PROMOTE HEALTH, SPORTS, FITNESS, AND ADVENTURE. ADDING OUTDOOR ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES CREATES A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE BEFORE GAMES WHILE ALSO ALLOWING THE SITE TO BE USED OUTSIDE OF GAME DAYS. THIS DEVELOPMENT IS A PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE, WORK, PLAY, AND CELEBRATE THE SPORTS TEAMS.
