To Bahua:
You can dish it out but you can't take it.
Better go home and cry on your momma's lap. That is, if she will let you.
PS To Lenexa also.

I may be right. I may be wrong. But there is a lot of gray area in-between.

Re: Question 1
interesting statement from tonight's panel discussion at the library: the chiefs' portion of the NFL broadcast rights pays the salaries for the entire team ($95m cap and they get $120m from NFL). i want to know where the hell the rest of that money is going when you throw down all that money for tickets? it ain't going to the paltry $450,000/year rent!

Re: Question 1
the chiefs get 120m a year? something sounds fishy here, that means, that the nfl gets 3.3b annually? i thought it was a 1b package. your numbers are off dave.DaveKCMO wrote: interesting statement from tonight's panel discussion at the library: the chiefs' portion of the NFL broadcast rights pays the salaries for the entire team ($95m cap and they get $120m from NFL). i want to know where the hell the rest of that money is going when you throw down all that money for tickets? it ain't going to the paltry $450,000/year rent!

Re: Question 1
i did say "statement", not "fact". has anyone heard other figures? this article from the washington times isn't complete clear on when the new 8-yr, $24b deal takes effect. however, assuming it eventually takes effect and 24 divided by 8 is 3, then 32 teams split $3b each year, that's about $94m for each team.

Well, let's see. Training Camp costs. Travel costs. Stadium operation costs. Coaches salaries. Scout costs. Etc and etc.DaveKCMO wrote: interesting statement from tonight's panel discussion at the library: the chiefs' portion of the NFL broadcast rights pays the salaries for the entire team ($95m cap and they get $120m from NFL). i want to know where the hell the rest of that money is going when you throw down all that money for tickets? it ain't going to the paltry $450,000/year rent!
Do the Chiefs turn a profit, yes. But from what I can remember from past news articles they are not in the upper levels of profits. Lower 3rd if correct.

Re: Question 1
doesnt matter. kansas city fans are unhappy unless owners are willing to underwrite tremendous losses, ewing kauffman set a kind of high standard on that one.aknowledgeableperson wrote: Well, let's see.

Re: Question 1
As most probably know, I'd love to see a downtown ballpark, but that's not why I voted no to both questions today.

Re: Question 1
You are the only one that has even hinted that we should immediately build a downtown stadium if this fails. Most here would rather see the basic renovations needed to complete the current leases. Why must every post of yours be a distortion of either the truth or the facts?kcdcchef wrote: yes, but after it fails on tuesday, of course a downtown stadium will break ground later this year.

Re: Question 1
Alright, which one of you put up the giant "VOTE NOW ON THE STADIUMS! DEMAND A BETTER PROPOSAL" sign in their yard on Ward Parkway next to all those SOS signs?

Re: Question 1
The 1b would be in the future, so in current dollars, it may be only 600-700 million.kcdcchef wrote: so you would support spending 100m now, then 1b later?

Re: Question 1
doubt it. stl stadium is 400m, dc is 621m, so, two brand new stadiums, if they break ground in 08 or beyond, will be 1b.lock&load wrote: The 1b would be in the future, so in current dollars, it may be only 600-700 million.
so, again, you support spending 100m now, and 1b later?
