The K is a relic and is going to go. I want the Royals downtown. My fellow Jackson Countians are too stupid to see the benefits far outweigh the negatives with that, though. So yay. I want what's best for Kansas City proper. A strong city is good for the entire metropolitan area, unless you want to end up like St. Louis. What's best for the city proper is keeping both teams in the KC metro and with KCMO addresses. The Chiefs could do whatever they want/wanted to do at TSC if they had the whole things to do themselves just as easily as they could in Wyandotte county.

I’m curious why it is best for the entire metro area if they stay in KCMO. That just sounds like wishful thinking, not something based in financial reality.
Putting the Royals downtown seems like a no-brainer, but Missouri’s going to Missouri |

It's best for KCMO if they're all in the KCMO footprint (which is huge). My focus is always on what's good for KCMO proper, because 1) Strong city = strong metro area that is set up to keep growing long-term; 2) Suburban hellscapes will do their suburban hellscape thing as long as the city is strong and driving businesses and population to the general area.

Truman Sports Complex is a disgusting piece of shit for the Royals to play at.
But it’s great for the Chiefs. Sure thing |

I'm not very plugged in to Royals news. Is there anything rumored for what they'll do (under the assumption that the TSC is destined to be a giant, vacant lot)?

Why wasn’t the area around TSC ever built up over the past 50+ years? Adam’s Mark, Holiday Inn, Drury Inn, Denny’s, Taco Bell and a couple gas stations seems to have been the extent of “growth”. What happened?

From the Chiefs lack of engagement to Sherman seemingly changing locations with each finger of scotch downed to ultimately picking a spot everyone universally hated then even modifying it days before the vote in some last minute plea It seemed like the ultimate appeal to authority when in reality it just looks like they were winging it |

Citizens are flat out rejecting public money for stadiums.
It is what it is.

Chiefs priority is World Cup 2026 at Arrowhead. Chiefs will not make any public statements about any involvement with these attention seeking Kansas politicians until after World Cup.
The Royals are the team that said they want a new stadium. The plain fact that these dumbass Kansas politicians lead off all of these attention seeking plans with Chiefs and all the released drawings are football stadiums show you that they are just blowing smoke up folks asses. Chiefs said they want to stay at Arrowhead. Royals say they want a new stadium. Chiefs are locked into Arrowhead through January 2031 and are hosting World Cup 2026 games at Arrowhead. Chiefs Super Bowl LVII rings say Arrowhead is Lamar Hunt's favorite place on Earth. Every time there is one of the dumbass news stories about a new dumbass Kansas Politician talking about Chiefs moving to Kansas, you can think about how the Kansas City Sports Commission folks responsible for the World Cup will tell those Kansas politicians to give Sporting Kansas City and KU as much money as they need to be able to host some country's national team. And the only contact from Clark Hunt and the Chiefs with Kansas politicians will be to let them know that Kansas better give the World Cup people everything they ask for to make this area a successful host site.
