Re: NBA to Kansas City
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jCYSvC-xsc How Kansas City Lost Their NBA Team Some truths and some untruths in his comments. One item that was overlooked was how free agency affected the Kings. The ownership did not have deep pockets and when the Lakers signed Jabbar to a salary that was more the...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Whether the post is accurate or not there is a lot of anti-Royals downtown stadium sentiment out there among Jackson County citizens. The passage of the sales tax extension, even with the tie-in with the Chiefs, is not a guaranteed passage. A big sales job is going to be needed. I don't know what w...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
"The entirety of the sales tax is unlikely to go towards just building the stadium." The sales tax is just for the stadiums. If a portion goes to the other items listed that will not leave much for the stadiums themselves. "Especially since Royals ownership will be counting on the rev...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
So the post and the comments aren't accurate or representative of the voters but let's extrapolate it's going to need a big sales job. Lol As someone says their perceptions are their realities. And for the people who replied to the post it is representative of more than just one voter. Whether a ma...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
One person's comment on a Facebook page. Of course the comment was supported by many. "Anyone wish to enlighten me and name at least one professional sport stadium moved from a suburb or outskirts into a downtown? I'll buy that one beer to prove me wrong but I don't think there has been even on...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
"A salary cap is just a mechanism for the owners to ensure they pocket a higher share of revenue, and it isn't going to help a team that just fundamentally doesn't know how to develop talent in the first place (nor is it necessary for a team that does: see, e.g., Tampa or Cleveland). The NFL's ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
As for attendance, I expect both NorthKC and Downtown will see an average game attendance higher than the current Stadium location since more people live close by. People will feel like it's not a big hassle to drive out to the suburbs, pay to park in a large lot, and deal with potential traffic is...

"Hell, look at everyone who says they do not want a downtown baseball stadium. Yet that is happening despite their grievances."

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Already both teams are talking about extending the sales tax for 40 years so it would appear the teams are looking for a much bigger taxpayer subsidy than in the past. Having a full roof over the stadiums will be costly. Do the benefits outweigh the cost? I seriously doubt it. Having a partial roof ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Interesting article on both the Royals and the Chiefs and their stadiums. https://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/sam-mcdowell/article277944563.html And yes, Jblanco, it does mean breaking the lease. This scenario would create a new and/or renegotiate the old. Your ignorance is invincib...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
"The Royals have said nothing about breaking their lease." Moving into and playing in another stadium before their lease expires is indeed breaking their lease. Guess they could pay a penalty but that would involve a whole different negotiation. You idiot, talking about and even planning ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
If the Royals choose Clay County over the East Village, then this will be a loss that can be directly attributed to Frank White and County Leadership. How do you figure? From day 1 of a proposed downtown move there was always the feeling that county leadership wasn't sold on the idea. If Clay Count...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
The Chiefs are staying their stadium can be renovated to last another 25 years. Built at the same time as the Royals Stadium, built by the same contractor, designed by the same architect, used the same materials, and so on. And yet the Royals need a new stadium because their current stadium has dete...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Glad you mentioned P&L. If I remember correctly that did not go to a vote of the people. A downtown stadium will go to the people to vote yea or nay. As I said people see the TSC as a county thing of which KCMO south of the river is part of, a downtown stadium will be seen as a city thing and s...
