Kansas City Will Get a New Kind of Stadium--Just for Women's Soccer
Source: WSJ
Billions of dollars have been spent to build stadiums for American mens professional sports teams.
Soon, there will be one built for a womens team.
Owners of Kansas Citys National Womens Soccer League team announced theyre building a $70 million, 11,000-seat stadium to open in 2024. It appears to be the first top-division soccer stadium constructed for a womens team.
There are incredibly talented female soccer players in this country and in the world, and people want to pay money to come and watch them and support them, said Angie Long, one of the teams owners. That isnt going away. Thats growing.

Roman villa with world's only Caravaggio mural up for sale
The 2.75-metre wide painting Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto was commissioned by Cardinal Francesco Maria Del Monte in the 16th century to adorn the ceiling in his alchemy laboratory at Casino di Villa Boncompagni Ludovisi, better known as Villa Aurora.
Villa Aurora, surrounded by high walls close to Via Veneto in central Rome, is all that remains of a retreat established by the cardinal.
Del Monte bought property there, which he restructured before commissioning Caravaggio to paint the mural in his lab, which was only a very small room, said Alessandro Zuccari, a history professor at Sapienza University in Rome who oversaw the valuation of the mural. Its an extraordinary work which was difficult to put a price on, seeing as it was the only mural ever done by Caravaggio and so we had nothing to compare it to.

What good is it if FOX News speaks well of me when they continually allow horrible and untruthful anti-Trump commercials to be runand plenty of them, Trump said in a statement. In the good old days, that would never have happened and today it happens all of the time.
Its not clear which ad triggered the former president, but several anti-Trump groups have been running spots critical of him and his supporters in Congress, often airing them on Fox News in hopes hell see them.
The progressive PAC MeidasTouch said it was one of their spots, airing on the right-wing network in the market where Trumps Mar-a-Lago resort is located:

EXCLUSIVE: Jan. 6 Protest Organizers Say They Participated in Dozens of Planning Meetings With Members of Congress and White House Staff
Two sources are communicating with House investigators and detailed a stunning series of allegations to Rolling Stone, including a promise of a blanket pardon from the Oval Office
As the House investigation into the Jan. 6 attack heats up, some of the planners of the pro-Trump rallies that took place in Washington, D.C., have begun communicating with congressional investigators and sharing new information about what happened when the former presidents supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol. Two of these people have spoken to Rolling Stone extensively in recent weeks and detailed explosive allegations that multiple members of Congress were intimately involved in planning both Trumps efforts to overturn his election loss and the Jan. 6 events that turned violent.
Rolling Stone separately confirmed a third person involved in the main Jan. 6 rally in D.C. has communicated with the committee. This is the first report that the committee is hearing major new allegations from potential cooperating witnesses. While there have been prior indications that members of Congress were involved, this is also the first account detailing their purported role and its scope. The two sources also claim they interacted with members of Trumps team, including former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, who they describe as having had an opportunity to prevent the violence.

The two sources, both of whom have been granted anonymity due to the ongoing investigation, describe participating in dozens of planning briefings ahead of that day when Trump supporters broke into the Capitol as his election loss to President Joe Biden was being certified.
I remember Marjorie Taylor Greene specifically, the organizer says. I remember talking to probably close to a dozen other members at one point or another or their staffs.
