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] --. |

Gina Adenan | [10:09 A.M.] | I just got word from the boss. A manufacturing problem discovered at our Maryland factory will lead to an immediate recall of all T-20 and T-21 model toasters our company sold in the past year. |
Hal Anderson | [10:12 A.M.] | I heard about that issue earlier this morning. A recall is going to be a huge undertaking. We'll have to post a notice in some major newspapers. |
Oliver Lee | [10:14 A.M.] | That's right. And we'll also have to put the same information on our Web site. |
Hal Anderson | [10:16 A.M.] | That would be the best way to reach our customers abroad. Katie, can you draft an announcement if I forward you all of the details? |
Katie Ford | [10:19 A.M.] | Of course. I'll put it together as quickly as I can and get a list of press contacts from marketing. |
Gina Adenan | [10:22 A.M.] | Thanks, Katie. Oliver, as you are running the call center, you'll need to train your staff to handle inquiries regarding the recall. There will be a lot of calls from the public, I'm sure. |
Oliver Lee | [10:25 A.M.] | I'll get right on it. We dealt with a similar issue three years ago, so I know what needs to be done. |
Gina Adenan | [10:28 A.M.] | Okay, thanks everyone. It sounds like we should be able to handle everything. |
