The new Kansas City Wizard’s Stadium is taking shape at an amazing rate and I was lucky enough to be given a guided tour around and throughout every area of the stadium that was accessible.   This excluded the third level of the west side of the stadium — turns out I am not that great on a ladder and I didn’t want to deal with another one. Many thanks go out to David Ficklin for making this happen and allowing me to share this with everybody.

Looking South across the West side of the stadium.  Note the curve in the stand
designed to get everybody facing the field and feeling close to the action.

A little perspective on the roof trusses — these things are massive.

Actually standing on the West side of the stadium’s pre-casts. Looking South.

The tunnel flanked by the home and away dugouts.

A view of the West side of the Stadium from what will be the Plaza area.  Note the central
white steel column.  The supporters signed that one.

Developments are quite stunning and this stadium is going to be breathtaking.  I described it as being a “small big stadium”.  It is going to be intimate, but its also impressively large at the same time.  I think it is going to be a loud and intimidating place for visiting fans.  It certainly feels a lot bigger inside than it does walking the perimeter.  I’ll be writing more on this tomorrow, but for now there are over a hundred Kansas City Wizard’s Stadium pictures from today available on the kcwfans.com Facebook page.  There is no need to ‘Like’ anything or have a Facebook account to view the pictures, although if you do use that Like button you will get notice next time I post pictures.  This will hopefully be in two weeks.
