Sam Mcdowell gets it and has been doing a good job covering this.
The Royals and Chiefs should blame themselves, not voters, for stadium tax failure |

If they thought that halfassed proposal that didn't answer any questions would pass, that speaks to their incompetence or that they think the voting populace is rubes.

I don't think either team is moving out of the region but last night was probably the end of the Truman Sports Complex.The Royals are not just Sherman it's an entire ownership group full of people who are all movers and shakers in KC. The Chiefs are the ones who have no real ties to Kansas City, and they have all the leverage though so I can see them both ending up in Kansas, or the Chiefs move first and then the Royals use that leverage to end up downtown or in Clay County or something. I do think the teams bungled this super hard but there's also quite a bit of overconfidence from some of the voters that they have more leverage than they do. |

The Royals just terminated their agreement with the Crossroads so we can probably cross that idea off the list

I wanted my deck refurbished (not even rebuilt; swapping out rails and deck boards - shit I can do but don't want to) and got a bid from a guy for $50K. My wife asked if we should call him to negotiate. I said "Nope - that's a '**** you bid'. That's him saying "I don't want this job, I have plenty of options around it with better margins. But if you'll pay me this absurd amount then I'll gladly take my crew of a bigger gig to do your piddly ass job with a 500% profit margin..." It was by no means designed to elicit a counteroffer. That's what this 'offer' from Clark was. And the voters recognized it. Clark made a '**** you bid' to the voters and the voters wisely gave him the bird right back...

It honestly feels to me like the Chiefs were reluctant to stay in the first place, but they felt like it would be horrible PR to just come out and say that. Now they can say, "We tried to stay at Arrowhead, but the public just didn't want it."

It makes some sense as an expansion spot.

The whole thing to me made no sense, the Chiefs are going to want a new stadium in 15-20 years so why are you wanting to do a reno now? The only way it makes sense is so they can say they didn't willingly abandon Arrowhead.
The Royals proposal just looked like they rushed everything together to the point that they couldn't even give you details. |

Yep, anyone is foolish to think they, the Chiefs, didn't know where this vote was headed weeks ago. The feeble attempts and "plan" was half ass for a reason.

I think Clark has made up his mind. And it’s been made up for a while. The bread crumbs have been there. Missouri will still have a chance to put up a fight, but I’m becoming more and more confident it will be a move to ks. We will hear rumors about moving cities, but they will all be bluffs to get the $$ they want. For the chiefs specifically, I mean. |
