Raise your hand if you'll stop being a Chiefs fan because they move to Kansas.
Exactly what I was thinking. Just go ahead and stop rooting now. |

The higher the level of government involvement, the greater Epic Disaster happens. Lack of experience multiples it

If Hunt gets in bed with them. Maybe he plans on paying cents on the dollar later. This may work out

Arrowhead Stadium is one of the most important assets involving the Chiefs. Why would Chiefs leave Lamar Hunt's Favorite place on Earth? Because the Royals asked for a new stadium and built the wrong puzzle to get that done and stupidly forced an election that lost?

He it's alive anymore and Clark stands to leave his unique footprint on the franchise with a new stadium. Hell they might it even name it Lamar Hunt Field at Buc-ee's Kansas Speedway Stadium in his honor. |

But it’s not even comparable. Soldier Field is the oldest NFL stadium and in the heart of Chicago. Moving it an hour north to the suburbs is far more of a different experience than moving from Jackson County to wherever in Kansas it’ll be located. That’s random location 1 to random location 2. |

The new SF stadium is soulless compared to Candlestick. But the old stadium had bad access and rebuilding it at that location even with a heavy subsidy by the city of SF didn't make economic sense for the team. The new 'corporate' stadium has great access and has been a success.

I would like the Chiefs to stay at Arrowhead. Very, very badly. But if the economics don’t work and they get a better offer elsewhere, then it is what it is. Build a new awesome stadium and start new traditions. But I’m fairly confident the Kansas proposal is a lot of smoke and mirrors offered by people who don’t understand or care about the economics and just want to be the guys who brought the Chiefs over the border. If the project defaults in 10y and that has implications for the state of Kansas and/or the image of the Chiefs, they’ll likely either be long gone or have convenient amnesia as to their involvement. Welcome to politics. The fact that some of you might actually take what they’re saying at face value is pure insanity. This is the height of all vanity projects. Economics be damned. |

If these bonds were this amazing financing proposition, why wouldn’t Missouri or literally everywhere else be replicating the offer? Because it’s not as riskless and costless as the politicians - who probably don’t know or don’t care - purport it to be. Counterfactual: some politicians in Jackson County come and say, “Voters, we can build this stadium for the Chiefs. You’ll risk nothing and lose no revenue. Would you vote ‘yes’ to that?” Of course they would. But it’s not accurate. |

We'll just have to see how swept up KS gets because it sure as shit got crushed in Jackson County on those poor proposals. I can't imagine the Chiefs or Royals or KS do much worse than what we say over the last year. I think they'll work to make this happen collectively, maybe that was the plan all along ![]() Last edited by Pablo; 06-07-2024 at 08:41 PM.. |
