Vote in this poll if you actually live in Jackson county.

We've all shared our opinions in the other thread. But who gives a shit what somebody in Platte County or Johnson County or Phoenix or NYC thinks. We're all just noise.

However, as long as the team stays in the metro, do we REALLY care THAT much what side of the state line the stadium sets?

Yes

Yeah, it's pretty insane and senseless.

We should have voted to give billions to an owner for an old stadium who clearly doesn't want to be there

Any ****ing day would be good.

I grew up near this strip mall when shit was actually open and these pictures are what stands now.... and I grew up there thirty years ago and that sign has to be straight out of the 60s.

John Sherman is a bundle of sticks. I think everyone reading this thread should remember that. That's what started all of this. Old mustache queer decides he deserves a new stadium for doing the good deed of rescuing the Royals franchise. Then he commissions concrete cancer bullshit studies and now we're here.

Then you've got Frank White and Mayor Q on the other side of the table. Talk about a round table of rump rangers.

That strip mall could have survived if you hadn't skipped your karate lessons there

You need to grow up, dude.

Also the issue with KC is there aren't any natural barriers to urban sprawl and while other cities are literally forced to renovate what they have it's cheaper in KC to just build new around the fringes and abandon the center. I don't know if there's really a solution either.

It's true, but I don't know that we should be surprised that a fan board for a sports team tends to include a lot of tribalism.

A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto

And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It is another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
(South of the riverrrrr)

Wow, what a wonderful place for a meth binge.

Based on other cities experiences, I don't think relocating football stadiums is that big of deal for the typical fan. Plenty of fans swear they won't support the new venue but the new venue typically has the same attendance as the old, if not better. Even if it is out in the sticks.
There aren't that many home games, most fans get over it. For those you lose, you typically gain some.
Obviously relocation can cause winners and losers with businesses.
And I think baseball stadiums are a different dynamic because of how many more games they play.
