mlb votes on it each year, it is committed through 08, so, probably 2009shaffe wrote: anybody know what year this thing would be, or is it just a vague promise?
also, what exactly does this change? it's my opinion at least that an all star game was going to come back eventually, be it with a slightly renovated K or a new park alltogether.

Exactly...we would have been awarded an All-Star game with a new stadium too. Â This plan still stinks and is an insult to the taxpayers of Jackson County.

I highly doubt very many will be influenced by this. Â A super bowl is a much bigger deal, if that hasn't sealed up ones vote, I doubt this will either.

I wondered why the Star didn't have a headline posted about the coming press conference. I think they already knew about it.
POOF! Magic article appears while the press conference is in progress...hummmmm...

Maybe if we pass another 3/8 cent sales tax that just deposits a check into the Royals bank account every year we might have a chance at that. In fact, lets just cover all the Royals expenses. After all, they deserve it for all that they've done for us.voltopt wrote: how about a world series too? is that too much to wish for? think the Royals are up to it in a few years?

If they have the ASG in KC, think how many young fans will be shocked to learn there is a baseball team in KC. Â

Another great thing has been anounced, but the haters rise to the surface to say "it's not as good as what we wanted." Â It's something and it's not negative. Â Take it and build on it. Â 24 months ago no one would have thought about a Superbowl or MLB All Star Game in this tiny stink town in the midwest (as perceived by THE WORLD)....this is an opportunity to MOVE ON UP TO THAT DEEEELUX APARTMENT....
