Bluecoats Look to a Brighter Future Last night the management of the Kansas City Bluecoats finally made the long-expected announcement that the team will be moving into a new stadium in a suburb just within the city limits of Kansas City. — [1] —.
The Bluecoats were one of the top teams in American football two decades ago, winning the national championship once and making it to the final game on another occasion. — [2] —. But recent years have been more difficult, with disappointing placements in the league and a dwindling fan base that has been attracted to other more successful sports teams in the region.
Moving will allow for cheaper ticket prices, more parking spaces, and easier access from other areas. — [3] —. As for the team, it will get to train using state-of-the-art facilities. Work will begin on the currently unnamed new stadium this month and is expected to be finished within two years.
Kansas City mayor Lester Hickman celebrated the team's move, saying, "This is great news for the team, and we look forward to helping the Bluecoats rise back up to their previous levels of success." --[4] --. |
