Here is something we won't see in this town for a quarter century (or more).

Opening day at a downtown stadium.

They didn't. They're all just poor people(that's all there is, downtown), just trying to stay off the mean streets for a while.

TSC is even better for them.

Get over a downtown stadium.
I may be right.  I may be wrong.  But there is a lot of gray area in-between.

Trailer Kid has a excellent point that you didn't even bother to read.

1)  Please read his comment, and explain to us how it's fair that one county pay this tax.  And don't give me that bullshit about how "30%" from outside will pay it--if that makes sense then why not have all counties in the metro pay it?

2)  I also don't understand your desire to keep the Chiefs in Jackson County.  I've asked you to quality this point before, and you haven't.  What is wrong with the Chiefs moving to Johnson or Wyandotte Counties?  It's a very large expense to pay for stadiums.  And as others have pointed out, if there was development around TSC, then tax revenue from that development would help Jackson County.  Instead, people drive elsewhere (Clay, Johnson, Wyandotte, etc) for pre and after game dining.  The benefit is spread out over the entire metro.  The entire metro should chip in instead of only one county--the most gullible.  Dispute that.

One point-- I know some people from Wichita that have Chiefs season tickets.  They roll into the metro area on Saturday morning, check into their hotel in Johnson County off I-435, and spend all day Saturday going to different restaurants and shopping, generating sales tax revenue all over the Metro Area. 

Thanks to Jackson County taxpayers, all the other tax-bases in the Metro get revenue they would not have received if not for the Chiefs game.
