Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
The CBA is like a person robbing a bank of gold and then giving a bar to the security guard on the way out to look the other way. The teams are asking for tax dollars, just the cost of doing business with tax dollars. Of course if the teams financed on their own no need for these agreements. If the...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I'm sure they will super tif the stadium development. Basically Missouri's version of STAR bonds. It's how the P&L District was funded. Redirects EVERY bit of revenue collected from the area back to the development, that includes state taxes and KCMO's etax. State taxes? County taxes? And let's...

Re: Sad...
Reasons why no high rise construction would be quite a few. Is the demand truly there? Unless the construction is for a specific tenant why build speculatively? It seems remote work has taken hold of many businesses downtown. What are the current occupancy rates for the different classes of office s...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
[ To clarify. No new taxes. Ideally revenue and property tax income pays for this and avoids hitting the general fund. In order to issue bonds, either revenue or GO, the city has to conduct a vote.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
The city will probably issue municipal bonds that shouldn’t be paid for by the tax payers. On another topic. Have the Royals released to the public what is their planned timeline for the promised development and what its contemplated composition would be? Yes I believe it was opening day 2028 That ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
The city will probably issue municipal bonds that shouldn’t be paid for by the tax payers. Does the city currently have the bonding capacity to issue the bonds needed for city funds? If not then another vote by the city is necessary for bond issuance. If they use TIF or Super TIF bonds will the cit...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Besides 50+ years of history and both teams having “Kansas City” in their official names… the loss of tax revenue. The loss of synergy with KC etc. Shooting for gold, which is downtown baseball and ending up with suburban baseball- Travesty. Trying to extend the life of one of the most iconic NFL s...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
If the Royals are going to get money from the city and state, it’s already been agreed upon. So, why won’t they release those numbers? Because the exact figures haven’t been confirmed and why would a political leader take a risk if they don’t need to? Mayor Lucas and Governor Parsons know that ther...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I don't think we need the details at this point on the other funding mechanisms. We're not voting on that portion. The city and state won't waste time talking numbers if the teams can't get past step one. I think it only takes some common sense to assume the city and state have privately committed ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
"That's just it, there are many out there that do not trust it will be done right. Especially not much trust in city leaders." Let me explain this more. There is a certain segment of Kansas City who definitely don't trust Mayor Lucas and other city leaders. Their take is Lucas and others a...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I seriously doubt few if any will be open to the public unless you are handicapped. Would imagine the rest are for players and employees plus a few VIPs.
