I think Clark Hunt needs to come out and say his money specifically will pay for the upgrades to premium areas and VIP suites. I'm sure a lot of minds will be changed if voters learn that their money will merely free up Hunt's contribution to cover exclusively VIP shit, rather than paying for it di...

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...

I don't trust billionaires, and I trust Sherman even less after his wife's facebook posts.... But, I think the election failing could end up being for the best. 1) I always thought a downtown stadium should be owned by the city, not the county. No reason to give people in Blue Springs and Lees Summ...

The reality is that KC Tenants will/would have come out against every possible proposal the Royals put on the table. The details are irrelevant, whether East Village, East Crossroads, saving the K, whatever. The issue is tax money going to a team owned by a billionaire, that doesn't change no matte...

I'm sincerely shocked that anyone in this group thinks the Chiefs are going anywhere besides Arrowhead stadium. Clark Hunt is deeply and I mean deeply loyal to tradition and the legacy his father built. Why are the Chiefs the only team in the league to not have alternative jerseys when it would make...

Ok DCole but here’s what you’re not getting…if the Chiefs “aren’t going anywhere” then they’re gonna have to do a HELL of alot more than they showed in those renderings. They might need a dome, they will atleast need a whole new exterior. Prob some legit development there too. Kansas will offer all...

People use KC tenants like a freaking crutch. They aren't that powerful. It's pure inept KC leadership. Just like this vote was purely on the owners but everybody blaming KC tenants. Lol. KC, JACO & Royals leadership are all inept, no question, but you’re naive if you think the Tenants don’t ha...

If KS is able to put together a proposal to build the Chiefs a brand new modern stadium, how is MO going to compete with that? Would they be able to? And if MO somehow does find a billion or more dollars for the Chiefs, what happens to the Royals? Is MO going to come up with money for two new stadi...

Just a reminder that Kansas only earned $7 million from sports betting for it's first full year. Sports betting tax revenue will not pay for a stadium alone in either state so we don't have to worry about Kansas being able to use that to build the Chiefs a $2 billion dome capable of hosting superbo...

Weird, the people who make these decisions disagree with you. Today at least. Not sure how many times I'm going to have to explain how Cordish played a role here. They wanted downtown baseball, they didn't twist arms into the East Crossroads site. There was some nudging but it wasn't by Cordish. We...

And the first speculation of the departure of one of the teams is already hitting national news with the Dallas Mayor making statements about Dallas going after the Chiefs for a second NFL team in the Dallas area. https://www.fox4news.com/news/dallas-mayor-kansas-city-chiefs Already told my friend ...

these teams and whomever is feeding them these excuses are more inept than it appeared during the campaign if they are now believing and using "ohh people are scared of downtown" as their reason for this failing. This is literally a bad half baked plan exposed. A solid plan out there for ...

Voters approved the Sprint Center 20 years ago. Union Station 30 years ago. Downtown's done nothing but improve since then. Face it, it was a terrible campaign. End of story. This is not an indictment on Kansas City voters. It was a terrible campaign, but that's not the whole story. We've all seen ...

I sincerely believe that any downtown stadium is doomed if it relies on this metro to vote for it. Downtown is where you go to get your car stolen, stuck in traffic and get beat up by homeless people according to so many. We've not been able to change that misconception for two decades now. Voters ...

It's starting to sound like downtown baseball is gone. Could just be the initial gut reaction of those in power but this is a sad week in Kansas City development history. It doesn't matter whose fault it is. Naw, just your EC site is dead. I had someone message me today that said, “They did the har...

Honestly, if the Royals are done with downtown because of one failed vote that they completely screwed up, then they weren't serious about executing a quality urban project to begin with and we're probably better off. I just don't think plopping a poorly planned stadium into the middle of downtown ...

Well it kinda matters who is at fault and it's squarely on the teams lack of a developed plan to present to voters. The jills and KC tenants of the world didn't move the needle from pass to fail that's for sure. Anything done today is definitely a gut reaction and shouldn't be taken as any sort of ...

Why wouldn't they cancel it, there isn't anything to agree around? Exactly. Now they’ll just buy it up without all the contingencies. Or not. Who knows. A big can of worms has been opened but hey, maybe we bought a few local businesses a few more years before they naturally turn over into something...

What did she say?
