Stadium Watch 2024 -Jackson County Residents: How Are You Voting?

[Pablo]

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.

And it’s a group full of people that believe they are fighting systematic inequalities or something along those lines. I think one of the people chained themselves to a door at the courthouse once to really shake up the system

The irony of KC Tenants is that they've killed projects that would have created thousands of new homes which would bring price down

What specific projects are you referring to?

I think the most influential thing they prevailed on was the redistricting maps for KCMO.

I think one effect they have is to change the idea of it is easier to get something passed in a low turnout election if you have union support and famous names and get endorsements from political clubs.

It may turn out that a higher turnout election would be the better strategy to win a ballot question if KC Tenants says vote no. I think they get their vote out.

Getting upset over a $40 t-shirt instead of $2 billion for stadiums is a weird choice.

[George Liquor]

$40 for a t-shirt isn't very inclusive

State Farm Field is 64k roughly.

And the SB ain't coming to Kansas City.

They've done more harm to KC housing prices than any mustache-twirling two dimensional villain ever could.

Can't fix stupid people being told they are victims making poor decisions...

and that sucks... I love arrowhead for that reason. I am in the 2nd row of the upper deck and love my seats and wouldn't move down if the price was the same.

Jobs as well.

Nate Taylor, who is as close to the Chiefs as any writer in sports, does not believe the Chiefs will be quick to come back to the table with Jackson County.

"I think we all need to get used to the fact that the Chiefs could be playing in Kansas in a decade or less."
