Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
There's a document that showed the votes by precinct on the JaxCo Election Board website. I think there were areas closer to the city that were over 50% YES. However, the YES percentage dropped pretty precipitously as you got further out. Here's the link to the precinct report. Here's a graphical r...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
In a rare alignment, I agree with GRID. I think downtown baseball is dead here. The only possible path forward I could see is if KCMO cuts JaxCo out, and passes the same 3/8th cent tax in the city, with a promise to move the Chiefs to the Northland and the Royals downtown, including significant park...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I think the Royals end up in NKC. EV would be a long shot, but my bet is on NKC now. That wouldn't bother me in the slightest. Neither would the Chiefs moving to WyCo or JoCo. As long as baseball is in the admittedly meagre urban core, and football is in the metro, I could care less. I'm still not ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
unfortunately neither team will work with Jackson County again. They had been working behind the scenes for two years attempting to get a location approved. Which was I think Frank Whutes plan all along. In any case most unfortunate for sports fans in KC. The lack of leadership has lost the city tw...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Moved here as an outsider and feel regardless of location there's an insurmountable car centric mentality that just can't be defeated. Makes me want to consider my options and start to look elsewhere. Reaction over the next few weeks is key but it's an uphill battle. I have lived here 25 years and ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
So strange how Jackson County and KCMO have different election boards. But also makes sense considering KCMO is in 4 different counties. Also pretty impressive that KC has more voters turning out than the rest of Jackson County. To further confuse, KCEB only covers the Jackson Co. portion of KCMO. ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Women and minority tend to be less union, so you come out at the same time and say we're going to guarantee best in class representation along with education for the next generation. Black Americans have the highest rate of union density of any racial or ethnic group, and 9.5% of working women in t...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I think this was a show-pony vote and that the Royals wanted it to fail so they can explore leaving. I have thought that for months, and I am not the only one, including some very savvy political operators in town. I suspect that the Royals time in KC is coming to an end. I doubt they go to Nashvill...

What happened with Sly James? His "Magic" has seemed to run out the last 5 years or so from the Justice endorsement to this. The guy came across as a grumpy asshole throughout this process. People are just finally getting to see who the man is, an arrogant, smug bully. The meeting I was a...

It’s not doomerism, the Royals didn’t want this to pass. They wanted an excuse to move. Kansas will throw every dollar from Garden City to Mission Hills at the Chiefs. This was generationally stupid.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Less than 10% margin is enough that it can be moved. A lot of the KCMO, but especially the Urban KCMO votes could be swayed with some refinement, and an actual semi competent campaign. I’m disappointed with the outcome, but nothing that can’t be overcome. Let’s all keep motivated and optimistic, ev...

Well, the Royals are gone for sure, just like they wanted. 50 years was a good run, I guess, for a small town.
