So does this mean we’re the St. Louis Chiefs? Or more like the Gladstone or Parkville Chiefs?

They could focus on turning the East Village into something instead of trying to shoehorn themselves into an already thriving district.

And just build an awesome stadium and abandon the dipshit entertainment district idea

Bonner Springs Chiefs.

The property tax scam put everbody in a bad mood, when it come ta raisin taxes.

The Royals stadium location sucked, and everbody knew it.

Wipin out section 8 houses scared the crap outta a lot of people.

If there's $ in building the stadiums, the city/county can issue tax free municipal bonds ta pay for buildin the stadiums, and pay off the bonds with alla the money .gov "makes" off the stadiums. Easy.

Cept .gov doesn't make money, it can only take money.

Fans that want the stadium built can sign a contract ta pay for a personal seat license or option ta buy season tickets at a discount, ta finance the construction.

I don't disagree.

I'd leave as well. The Independence area just never developed like other parts of KC. And most of that was bad local leadership, IMO. But some of it may have just been bad luck.

In either even, the proposal is crap. He'd probably have a better chance of getting a whole new stadium built there under a similar cost split.

It will still be the KC Chiefs... hell the Giants and Jets are in NJ.

Not really.

I don't really care about the Royals much. I care about losing fans if the Chiefs move to Kansas.

Jackson County voters have soundly rejected such a notion.

Moving a few miles North and West will magically make a difference?

Unlikely.

But there's a middle ground between full private funding and throwing $600 million at the Hunt family to build luxury suites and otherwise shit in the fanbase.

I voted for it.

On the other hand, it sucks that a source of pride and benefit for this entire city/ area must be funded by just one county. In an ideal world, that burden would be spread out to all who benefit.

I think there are some major issues with the EV and the highway which I'm not sure MoDot budges on. Also Cordish liked the the Crossroads because it's basically right across the street from P&L.

Plenty of other counties, and Kansas willing to have a 3/8 cent sales tax...

I think there is much more to it than that. There is a larger theme of class warfare happening. I just wish these sorry-ass poors were consistent with their poor voting and life choices

They're not going anywhere.

This was a shit plan, the marketing was extortion, it was stupid all around.

I strongly opposed the plan because of where they wanted it, but also because there's literally nothing detailed in writing other than some picture mockups and vague promises. It was a shit show.

Come back with a better plan, put the details in writing, and we'll take a look.

I'm not opposed to the concept, but this was ridiculous.

absolutely, it will be the Chiefs moving on their own. It will win in a landside on the Kansas side.
