with regards to a downtown stadium, even with a realistic plan, i would be opposed to it. however, it would make me be less verbal about it, and stick to my bitching at the forum on kcroyals.com. their plan, is sad, noone important in any level of goverment, and to boot, even though the forum does not care what they think, the opinions of network types, are important. and the network types, and the goverment, at all levels, city, county, state, do not support this idea. because it is sad. " nowhere has anyone invested anything like this in 33 year old stadiums" is the constant battle cry. HORSESHIT. look, there have only been 4 that were old enough, pervious to this discussion, yankee, fenway, wrigley, and dodger.
and in 97-99, 120m was spent in renovations, and 140m was spent in the mid 70's. fenway has spent 200m over the past 9 years, and wrigley has spent 140m over 8 years, with 153m planned. dodger, is in limbo, although, i am sure they are not far behind. "those stadiums all are so much more historic and better then kauffman" will be the next line of SHIT to be spewed. yeah, kauffman was not built in 1912 like fenway or 23 like yankee, but you know what, who cares. it is still a great park. 33 years old, yes, but a gem. you cannot go sit at a game at kauffman stadium, and tell me the place is not still great. the only thing missing is the skyline behind the scoreboard. that would satisfy everyone on here. a sad sad reason to lose something we will regret losing someday. how many threads on this forum are bitching about some building we lost, because those before us in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's mucked up and trashed something great. know what? in 2030, they would judge us the same if we lose kauffman, and arrowhead.
hell, who is the most powerful voice in sports? jim rome. everyone knows it. his show has so many tens of millions of listeners, it is not even funny. you might want to sit there and think that rome does not give a shit, but he does. he has regulars like whitlock and buck oneill. and you can bash them too while you are at it, but here is a cold hard fact.............
o'neill and whitlock represent kc sports on the national stage. like it or not. whitlock is on pardon the interruption as a guest host 20 times a year. this year, already, he has been booked as a guest host 26 times. twice last year he was a guest host on the jungle, aka, the jim rome show, and he is a regular on cold pizza, pti, rome is buring, etc. buck o'neill, is a regular on romes shows, radio and tv, and is on baseball tonite, sports center, and many other shows. so, everyone can blast me, like i know max, lockandload, ppa'ass, and lenexato kcmo will, but rome is a big name, as are welbon, kornheiser, gammons, and berman. and all 5 love whitlock and o'neill. and when they say something, they listen at the national level. and when both, ambassadors for kc sports, and one a paid employee of the kansas city royals, on the national stage, say losing kauffman stadium is stupid, well, that says a lot. i have written in this forum for months, about how the analysts, columnists, and commentators from every city in america tell us how beautiful our stadium is. well, here is one better. on the national level, two of kc sports biggest ambassadors, have spoken against losing kauffman stadium.
but that is ok. you downtown stadium supporters, who, most of you are like me, do not get a vote on it nor will you ever pay taxes for it, have kietzman and union broadcasting on your side. who, work, and live in an area with no say or tax dollars in on the matter.
