Would they, though? Royals play 81 homes games and Chiefs do 8. So quite literally Royals could be a 10x greater stimulant for boosting physical presence of an area (unless I'm missing something). I understand the Chiefs are valued twice as much as the Royals, but does that value translate into anything for the city that it would miss out on if stadium were in Kansas?chaglang wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 4:48 pm Suspect that either county would pick retaining the Chiefs over the Royals, but the downtown stadium discussion essentially means that Jackson County gets to pick first. I wonder how many people would support a downtown baseball stadium if it basically negates any chance of keeping the Chiefs (should they decide to leave Camarohead). Hell, I wonder if Lucas would support that.
This part is just thought but...Logically, it just makes so much sense for the Royals to be in KC & the Chiefs in Kansas.
Hear me out. Football has become a suburban-stadium based sport, and shit, you're not gonna find any better suburbs almost anywhere in this country than the Kansas burbs- NFL fits perfectly in a suburb that's dense but still spacious. And the Royals are the perfect puzzle piece that a place like downtown KC needs, and that the Royals need.
