Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
" City of KC government officials support the Royals remaining in the city. That’s incredibly clear. Manny Abarca is annoyed at the crap Frank White is pulling. If the Royals leave Jackson County, the blame can be placed solely on Frank White’s incompetence." If the KCMO government really ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
"Maybe I'm just being way too negative about it, but I just don't see a lot of support for a new stadium in KC from a public funding standpoint." I think that is why there is not a big push or incentive for Jackson County to help fund a downtown stadium. If the team decided to stay at the ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I think the point he’s more so making is that it’s hard to poll something when there still isn’t a coordinated push to win over the voting demographic on the project yet because the Royals are still deciding the site. I’m not going to speak for DCole though, but that’s what I gathered from his resp...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I think their biggest failure was being too open and honest as they are going through the process to the public. I think the real problem was the lengths of silence. I think it would’ve been alright to be open about shopping around if we got more frequent updates. As it was, the lengths of silence ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Gotta be movement soon so they can get the vote on the ballot. I'd like all this to get going tomorrow but a part of me thinks maybe they should move the goalposts on this and not try and get this on the April ballot. The Chiefs will own the minds of KC residents until mid February (hopefully) and ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Don’t see it being the fight you make it out to be. As mentioned, if a stadium doesn’t go here something else will. Is it opposition to a stadium or opposition to change in general? Multiple landowners have said good luck, we're not selling Ok. I still don’t see that being much of an obstacle. Do y...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Talk about a monkey wrench thrown into the process. The Royals had what 5 sites that were narrowed down to two and now one of the five is added back in. This whole process looks more and more like a botched operation. It's what happens when there are a lot of moving parts. Glad there is a lot of th...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
The royals wanted to build a big ballpark district but this shrinks the size of the development needed as it sits in or near a pre-existing entertainment district. Wasn't the proposed entertainment district to be used to support the team? So if the team develops a smaller area wouldn't that affect ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
An article today mentioned it's going to cost slightly more to renovate the K. Explain to the taxpayer that spending the same money to renovate your old house in a bad neighborhood isn't smart when you can build new in a better neighborhood. Given that both stadiums were constructed at the same tim...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
But one has to remember there are more voters living in JaCo outside of KC than in KC in JaCo. And I would think that those in JaCo outside of KC are the ones who need to be convinced of accepting a Royals move downtown. They, as a whole as I take it, like the stadium where it is at currently. As I ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Given how the JaCo use tax failed the approval of the sales tax extension for a downtown stadium could be questionable. Within KCMO portion of JaCo the yes vote was more for the tax. JaCo outside of KCMO the no vote overwhelmed the yes vote especially with the number of voters exceeding the number o...

People tend to forget that during the entire Reagan Administration interest rates ranged between the highest 16.63 percent and the lowest at 10.19 percent. https://www.bankrate.com/mortgages/historical-mortgage-rates/ But you could buy a nice house for 75k not 575k Don't forget pay was much lower t...

MLB should not be playing the WS this late. NBA has started. NHL has started. NFL is in the middle of its season. College football is just warming up. Just too many other distractions.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I did read it. Now, are you saying the Star lied about its source? If so what proof do you have besides speculation? I was wrong. Prob change your username. So that is your response to my question. So indeed you are speculating. Your speculation is no different than the cost report that is being re...
