Troubled East St. Louis pool project shows signs of comeback

9 hours 47 minutes ago
East St. Louis has been without a community pool for more than a decade. A new complex, nearly completed last year, was supposed to change things until the contractor stopped getting paid – and they were forced to walk off the job. The property has remained mostly empty and silent for the last 12 months.

Chiefs ready to turn over revamped Arrowhead Stadium to FIFA for the World Cup

12 hours 13 minutes ago
The Kansas City Chiefs have transformed Arrowhead Stadium to host World Cup games, fulfilling a long-held dream of the Hunt family. The stadium will host six pool-play games starting next month, including a round of 32 match and a quarterfinal. The first match, featuring Argentina and Algeria, is June 16. The stadium was built in 1972, and that meant it had to undergo significant changes to meet FIFA's requirements, including seat removal and field upgrades. The Chiefs have collaborated for nearly a decade to make this happen. Fans will be bussed in from satellite parking areas because of limited parking while signage is being stripped to avoid any conflicts in sponsorships.
