Good. The CCA dicked around and it SHOULD cost them this generational opportunity, along with the sweetheart agreement. The CCA never endorsing and only agreeing on THE DAY OF the vote is absurd. Maybe they can get Chartreuse to sponsor their new DEI and employment guidelines?

DColeKC wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 10:07 am I don't know how to be more clear about this but I've seen the internal information where thousands of people across the metro were polled. The site and how it impacted the arts and small business wasn't a major concern for the majority of the voters who responded. It's brash to say but these people simply don't care about the fear mongering being pushed about "destruction" of a "vibrant" neighborhood. Many did not want it downtown period due to the constantly perpetuated misconceptions about traffic, parking and crime.

East Village isn't coming back on the table. The Royals are all in on this site. The city will have to get more involved and the city leaders want this in East Crossroads, not EV.

Convinced by the Mayor in the 8th inning to move off the obvious site because Cordish were shit scared people wouldn't walk literally another 0.2 miles to P&L as opposed to an EC stadium, and the sad thing is people are so married to their cars here it was probably fucking true to some extent. Sherman I vividly remember at the renderings reveal stated the Royals district would be a distinct mixed use district and not an out and out entertainment district to rival P&L, some stance for him to be herded so easily after all that.

He got rolled by cordish and a few other people. Again, it's pretty open what happened.

You all keep saying this and it’s all hyperbole. I was there. I was on the balcony of three light with John Sherman. He didn’t get rolled, he got inspired. Cordish literally said they’d help push for East Village too.

We are better than Jill Cockson and her lies, as someone who has first hand knowledge I’m telling Cordish didn’t “roll” anyone.

Were you on the balcony alone with him?

unfortunately neither team will work with Jackson County again. They had been working behind the scenes for two years attempting to get a location approved. Which was I think Frank Whutes plan all along. In any case most unfortunate for sports fans in KC. The lack of leadership has lost the city two treasured assets. I mean if you don’t support the Chiefs after 3 Super Bowl wins why would they stay? We will be lucky if both teams wind up in Kansas. At least still in the area!
