Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Unfortuantely for this person, the same applies whenever you watch a movie, TV show or listen to music. It applies when you go out to eat at a national chain or buy almost anything in the grocerty store (only in those instances, it's the executives who's pockets you're lining). It applies whenever ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Can agree this discussion about Jill Cockson has gotten petty, cringe, and personal. Can there be a separate thread for discussions about citizen influencers of KC? From people I know who voted no they had no idea who Jill is or her feelings on the topic. Their no vote was based on one major thing ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
The Coyotes' situation is much different than the Royals. For one they have been a troubled franchise for some time now. Two, for the last two seasons they have been playing in a 5,000 seat arena on a college campus and for the foreseeable future this situation would continue. The Royals are still c...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
If memory is correct the only way the city itself can do this without taxpayer support is if it already has bonding capacity approved by the voters that hasn't been used at this time. And it would be backed by the city's general fund. If revenue bonds are utilized there would have to be a revenue st...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Staying at the K was never an option. The Royals will take a breath and see what their options are now - staying at the K will almost assuredly not be one of them. Very well could be in the long term a new stadium but in the short term playing at the K may be the only option outside of selling the ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I don’t have the authority to share the information. Not that it’s relevant but my own anecdotal experience is most people just wanted a better, more organized plan along with more information. The save the crossroads noise was loud for sure but not in the top 3 factors for why this failed. I also ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Not if the case is made about what the city stands to lose. If both teams leave KCMO, taxes will need to go up in order to cover the significant loss of tax revenue and it will need to go up far more than the 3/8th cent county tax that just failed. Make it about the truth, that this city and its co...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
The voters will not approve a downtown location no matter what. First off there will have to be a huge, likely long term, sales job to change the mind of local residents about downtown itself. If there will be a downtown stadium the city/team owners will have to find another way to get it done. The ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Forget the voters. The Royals and local governments have to find a way to pull off a downtown stadium without a vote of the people. The Chiefs on the other hand can go to the voters without the tag along Royals and likely get approval for Arrowhead improvements.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
if/wherever new stadiums are built in/outside of the region, will it be with public money approved by the local voters or just the elected officials of the local jurisdictions?

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Fuck Frank White. Lying ass unintelligent fool who let his personal opinions steer his actions and pretended it was all for the people. The two year hold out and property tax disaster had a big part in this. You are giving White far too much credit. At first he was working on trying to get a deal f...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
They lost it in February (months after the site should have been locked down) when they chose EC. It was lost at the very first announcement when it was said the team was moving on from The K. The Royals thought they could ride on the coattails of the Chiefs with the belief the voters can't say no ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
In thinking about why the issue lost one reason could be much of the public wasn't given a valid, in their eyes, reason why The K had to be replaced. Both stadiums were in many ways similar but one could have its life extended for another 25 years or so while the other was a total mess just waiting ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Interesting results. Not surprised by the vote percentages but was definitely surprised by the large NO vote percentage in the KC portion of the county. It looks like some on here blame Frank White but I think his stance was more in alignment with the NO voters and maybe more of the YES side should ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
If I remember correctly technically it is a new tax. If it passes the old tax is set aside and in its place is a new tax, for the same amount, that will expire in 40 years.
