Links to back up your information please.

I am not saying the stadiums will cost this much, I am saying this is what the taxpayer liability will be.  It is a valid statistic.

ballparks.com shows all the costs. almost every new stadium in mlb and the nfl are relying upon 25 year loans and bonds. kc is not alone.

but if you look at other cities, were the ONLY ones doing this it will "really" cost this over 25 years.

I am not trying to compare KC to anyone, that is you (straw man??).

Yes OR no, do you agree that this will cost $1.02 billion in taxpayer dollars, if both question pass?

Explain to me how it is dumb please.  No comparisions to other cities.  Tell me why the $850 million figure is incorrect.

because it is 450 m and 170m. how much it swells to over 25 years is not of relevance. it is the same on any construction project.

The total cost to taxpayers over 25 years will be $850 million for renovations.  Are you disagreeing with this number?  If so, please explain how it is incorrect.  Saying it is not of relevance is NOT an explanation.

no construction project or purchase ever looks at anything beyond the principle. the principle, is 450m and 170m

This is why a discussion with you is worthless.  You refuse to address the relevant points.  You try to create your own reality.  The fact is, the renovation plan will cost $850 million over 25 years.  You have yet to refute that fact (even though I myself could make arguments against that statement, apparently you cannot). 

Save all of us the trouble, and stop interjecting your make believe reality.  Only jump into a discussion when you are either armed with facts or genuine opinions.  But spare us the "fake facts."

construction projects never look beyond the principle. you want to bitch about facts, show me ANY construction project where they look at anything beyond the principle

The fact that this is a construction project is irrelevant.  It is a tax, levied on the citizens of Jackson County, that will collect $850 million over 25 years.  You have yet to refute that point.
