If this was the best they can/will do, then Hunt threw the match. He tossed something out there he knew would fail so he could go to Legends with a PR excuse.
This lost because it should. If the Hunts want to offer a serious proposal it could actually go somewhere.

It wasn't just a shit proposal you're right the Chiefs didn't do much at all. I went to 2 local engagements one was for the entire Jackson County & one was for our neighborhood.
Neither one had a representative from the Chiefs. Both had someone from the Royals and not only were they short on details but they were VERY standoffish to those who opposed it. I thought the Chiefs success alone might have carried it across the finish line but I was wrong.
There's still avenues for the Royals downtown. Just today the the Crossroads Neighborhood Community signed off on the deal. I suspect we could get a vote on the Chiefs alone and a private/state funding for the Royals. OR the city could do what Sacramento did when voters voted down the arena and the city bit the bullet and spent the money themselves.
