Yeah, it would suck if they replaced The Belfry with some generic place, or a few other places... but not seeing much in the construction zone between Grand and Locust and 17th and to the north.

I'd love walking from Taps on Main or Oak and Steel to a game or having a beer after (and not being local, then walking to a hotel for the night)... huge, massive improvement over the K in that regard.

The Record Bar, on the opposite side, The Brick. My good friends own The Pairing, as well.

It's important to realize as well that even if they don't tear your location down, you will be out of commission during building if you are on the edge, and after the stadium is complete, and you don't own the building the business is in, the rent will go through the roof and you'll simply be priced out to be replaced by a chain that can absorb the cost.
