"The K is one of the best in the league" Yes, but it's 50 years old and will need another few hundred million dumped into and you're still at a terrible location.

"There's so many more important things that need the money" I'm just sick of this one and the idea we shouldn't spend a penny on anything deemed non-essential until world hunger and homelessness is solved.

"But what where will we tailgate!" Do Royals fans realize tailgating baseball games is comical? It only became a thing here in KC because the team has sucked so bad for so long that there was no rush to get into the so called beautiful stadium.

"Spend the money on the field" Stop spending your money tailgating in the fuckin parking lot and spend it inside the stadium and perhaps ownership will take that added revenue and use it towards players.

"But downtown means more people and harder parking" Exactly, MORE people and for the love of god, can the city produce a well-made video showing people that downtown parking isn't a challenging parking situation.

Don’t worry people will support it once it’s put in the right light, and most will forget they ever opposed it in a year or so. That’s how the airports gone
