Four major art projects for new KCI terminal revealed
The first of four major art projects for the new single terminal airport at KCI have been revealed.
More than 1,000 artists from around the world submitted inquiries after Kansas City announced an international search for artists. The city said the four works of art were chosen because they either reflected the wonder of travel or Kansas City history. The budget for artwork at KCI’s new terminal is $5.65 million. Kansas City’s single-terminal airport is expected to open on budget and on time in early 2023. “The fact that we’ve been through a pandemic over the last year and yet this project remains on time, on schedule, and on budget is a testament to the good work of the team,” said Justin Meyer with the KC Aviation Department. You can see the renderings of the art projects in the gallery below. Entitled "Molten Swing" Entitled "The Air up There" Entitled "Ornithology" Entitled "Fountain of Resonance" "Molten Swing" looks kind of like a mosaic dog or cat to me, it might look cool though but not sure what to make of it at this point. "The Air up There" simply looks like some lights on the ceiling, again it might look better when you're actually there I hope. "Ornithology" reminds me of those attacking creatures in the Pitch Black movie. You just knew one of the artwork they chose would have a WTF moment and this is it. "Fountain of Resonance" I approve of this one. Thoughts? https://fox4kc.com/news/art-projects...inal-revealed/ |

Flew in from Denver to KC for the draft. Must say the new airport is very nice. Easy in and out with quite a lot of cool bars/restaurants. Trent McDuffie was on my United flight headed back to Denver yesterday as well. Was cool to chat/meet him for a moment.

Flying out of other airports though, you spend that 30+ minutes relaxing with a drink and/or snack, as opposed to standing at the gate staring at the stranger across from you.

I always look forward to the layover after departing KC and getting a meal at that airport as that feels like the vacation has officially started. I suspect the information is out there but I hypothesize that a large portion of flights leaving KC depart early when compared to other airports. Seems logical given so many destinations from KC require a stop and layover somewhere. The effect to me seems that you have less people arriving around lunch time than other airports so not as many locals have the opportunity to arrive early and eat.
For example, people going to Florida or California from KC are probably departing before 10 at a large rate, (maybe 80%?) just based on what I see when looking at flight times available. But a huge hub like Charlotte seems they would have tons of flights for those leaving to California/west coast all morning with tons heading to Florida/east coast all afternoon. For this I can see how restaurants wouldn’t get as many locals eating there prior to departing like some other places. |

"The temperature today at the Airport is 67 degrees, which I think is really stupid man, because nobody lives at the Airport"

I'm glad to hear they had the traffic jam issue solved for at least the Draft week/weekend. Let's hope they keep doing whatever they did and don't just drop it because we're not on the national stage after the Draft.

The gender neutral bathrooms are the best - the stalls are plentiful and go all the way to the ground. And they have a video board that indicates the number of stalls that are currently open!
