Velodrome.
Pic from the Velodrome being built in Durango CO. click here for their page. I always make a joke that some day there will be a velodrome in KC, the Melissa Kusiak DDS Velodrome. Its not a joke, its for real, it just won't happen for another 20 years. This is too long to wait. I guess it costs anywhere from $750,000 up to $35,000,000.
I'd be happy with the $750,000 one, though it looks like Durango will have it done for way less. I've talked to a lot of people about this in the store, they all say the same thing. Probably an abandoned building in the bottoms or out by wyandotte park, or by swope park, yup, lots of places to have it. I even heard that the city of riverside has millions and millions they don't know what to do with (they have a casino) and there has been proposals for sports parks there that include indoor/outdoor velodromes, that wouldn't be bad.
Anyway, I'm glad Durango is doing something about it, maybe after they finish, it will prove to communities like ours that it is possible.

I want a figure 8 velodrome. This one is not that big, and does not take up that much space.

I totally agree with you on this. An indoor velodrome would be awesome in KC.
