I agree. The rollout of the plan seemed like a confusing mess at almost every step.
Hard to get voters excited for something they barely understand.

Billionaires don't own the stadium and property. How the hell do people not know this. They lease all of it.

Please educate us all how you possibly know what the payout would be. As I said, not a single business owner I know that would be affected had any return communication when they reached out. It's a poorly articulated plan with little to no details shared.

Nah, it's mutually beneficial or they wouldn't do it and it's done by a vote of the people. Also, a sales tax is the fairest tax of all, especially when it is spent on a revenue generating purpose. Also, if you think they wouldn't have a similar sales tax % if the Chiefs/Royals left for some other purpose, you are naive.

I’ve seen the “studies” that state this and the numbers are flawed. There’s a reason cities fall all over themselves to bring in pro sports teams and it isn’t because they lose money on it.

I know people around here (not you particularly) love to predict doom and gloom, but the Royals and Chiefs aren't moving to another city tomorrow if it doesn't pass.... they can submit another proposal or work with another county. It's seven ****ing years away.

They haven't gotten the whole plan yet. Gotta have the vote first but they would be bought out. Thats how its done and has been done everywhere.
