Re: New Chiefs Stadium

Because NKC would get support. It's not Downtown.

You guys still just don't get it.

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

At this point, I think the Chiefs are better off in KS. I have conceeded that there is no stopping the continued migration of KC's economy and culture to the KS side. KCMO and Jackson County just can not get their shit tother. I mean Jackson County can't even fund a decent bus system. And with group...

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

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 stadiu...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I think the Royals end up in NKC. EV would be a long shot, but my bet is on NKC now.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I'm not sure there is time to save the chiefs. KS will not mess around and will have something signed in the middle of the night in the coming months. It's just like sporting kc. Royaks have a little more time and I don't know if Sherman woukd entertain moving to ks so quickly, but I can see ks off...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

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 ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I agree. If the vote were a near pass things would be different. They got clobbered. In the city and in the suburbs. The Royals may have dropped the ball but they also learned a lot from this vote. People in KC do not want a downtown stadium and if the Royals want to move downtown, they will have to...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Real question- why would the Chiefs moving to Kansas by the racetrack be bad? You could place it by the old Cerner building and use the space for team offices, the parking situation could be better formalized, and there are hotels, restaurants, entertainment and a casino nearby. The TSC site has no...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

unfortunately neither team will work with Jackson County again. They had been working behind the scenes for two years attempting to get a location approved. Which was I think Frank Whutes plan all along. In any case most unfortunate for sports fans in KC. The lack of leadership has lost the city tw...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Can’t wait to blast you later tonight after the vote! I hope you get to! I voted yes. I think the coalition of no voters is much broader than people realize. Agreed. It's a shame folks can't take the opposition seriously. KCT is wielding a pretty big axe with their constant misinformation, harassme...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

What's the difference between EV and EC to someone in Eastern Jack? I know so many people in eastern Jackson County. I feel like I'm one of the only people on this forum that has a lot of ties to eastern Jackson County. I have family and friends all over the suburbs there. The EV didn't excite anyb...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Oh and the other reason that so many people I know to vote no was they felt bullied. By both teams. Shut up and vote yes or we are leaving. Pissed lot of people off.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I think the save the crossroads did more damage than anything. You already had to overcome the suburban vote so once everyone latched onto "destruction of the crossroads", it was all over.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Sorry, but this is bad. This is not coming back to a county vote. No way. At the very best case, the state will have to put in a bunch of money to try and do a hail mary, but it will be for a much more watered down project. This grand project south of the Sprint Center is dead. My guess it KC is goi...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I thought it would fail but not by this much. The downtown stadium may be dead for good.
