It sounded like the election results were important for this deal.

Which result and in what way?

Clark Hunt made reference to it a couple of weeks ago. There was indication that things we being discussed on the Missouri side. He made some reference to not being able to say much at the time because of the upcoming election.

Somebody in this thread called out that Mike Kehoe said something about being interested in the state helping.

Fescoe reporting Royals looking to Johnson County and the old Sprint campus is the leading site.

Sounds like a negotiation ploy by the Royals to get the MO side to give them more.

I guess the JACO population is about to find out if Kehoe was worth his vote...

Kehoe is a STL guy and I heard the Cardinals are asking for money for stadium upgrades as well. It will be interesting to see what happens- STL politics generally rule in Jeff City.

1) **** St. Louis...

2) You are correct, but I also recall Kehoe being the only candidate willing to talk about how he wanted to keep the teams in MO. I don't think he can wave a wand and make it happen, but I do hope that if KS lures either team away that in all other respects Kehoe unilaterally withdraw from any "agreements" that the two states once had and say it's open season on KS. Put Topeka on notice that with our ridiculously deeper pockets that we will, as a state, make sure any business that stays in KS has to be doing it for political reasons because MO is going to make it financially better to move (or start up) to/in MO.

Fans would lose nothing IMO, I sure don't mind driving over there occasionally for a game, but I'm sure ready for MO to quit being nice and being the only one to respect the bullshit accord the two states have.

And if we lose the team/teams and he doesn't go to war economically with KS, he's a useless piece of shit.

Finally DOWNTOWN BASEBALL.

Makes sense to me

KCMO for WNBA and women's soccer

KS for professional men's sports

Mayor Q was gonna save the situation though

What happened?

So...was there actually any news?

Royals are looking into Johnson County and Kansas with the Sprint campus the leading site.

Bob Fescoe is supposedly an insider with Royals folks so he dropped that “news” on his morning radio show.

I’d put him just a touch above Clay or Soggy Shane when it comes to information.

Pretty good summary in this article.
