East Village, while not in the most pleasant part of downtown KC, has far more space available.

The problem with the site mentioned in the article is that the KC Star property is not big enough alone for a stadium and a lot of businesses in a pretty thriving part of KC would have to be removed as well as the older built environment of which KC has already lost so much.

Downtown parks work well. In Houston and Denver, the two I'm most familiar with, they are on the periphery of downtown and parking and traffic are not big issues.
