The bottom line is the Royals are proven losers year over year and they picked a bad year to try and blackmail the citizens of JACO.

The next time you are right about anything will be the first time. It’s OK Billay. If the Royals build a downtown stadium, I’m sure they’ll move the George Brett statue so you can still give homeless guys blowjobs next to it for $.50 a turn in order to afford your next bottle of Ripple.

Oh shut up, Billay. It's not like that. There are no opposing sides here. Just offseason BS. I have a great deal of respect for LoneWolf.

This is a loooong story (too long for me to copy and paste) that is worth the read. Talks about KC's current situation, but also has lots of details on stadium financing, economics, and how the Ballpark Village is doing and its impact on surrounding areas.

Downtown St. Louis has some advantages I wish we had here (Namely, the Metrolink, which is fast, clean, and easy to use. But there's also a really cool ****ing NATIONAL PARK). But that downtown is a real dead zone. It is fundamentally different from Kansas City in that St. Louis has not been able to keep businesses and people living in and around the revitalized areas. There are a lot of factors in that, among them a more intense city/suburb divide in St. Louis because of the suburbs being in their own county. The reputation for St. Louis city and the area around the ballpark is much worse than the rep for, say, Power and Light or the area around the T-Mobile Center. Which is really unwarranted. I felt perfectly safe walking to and from the hotel to the parking garage, we walked to the Arch and the MetroLink station, and I walked about 3/4 of a mile to a grocery store one afternoon, and never once felt uneasy or unsafe. My colleagues from St. Louis all warned me about how terrible and dangerous the whole area was, though. Typical suburban fear of the city, but to the extreme, seems to permeate the area. My wife's friends from there were aghast at what we had done and couldn't believe we hadn't been murdered or something.

I’ve been working in the area since December and it’s much, much more dangerous than you think. Game day? Yea, you’re good.
Non game days? Just like the guy who owns the “luxury apartment” overlooking the stadium, he doesn’t venture out. |

Also, that was a helluva great article that showed the Battery in Atlanta is just another boondoggle.

Wasn't really venturing out at night because when you have two eight-year-olds, you're doing bedtime by 9 every night, anyway. But I did have to move around a little bit after dark and didn't observe or experience anything shady or discomforting.

It is not. It is really strange that you guys think we should all just hand over piles of cash for an organization that did not even begin to through the motions to explain how it would be used and it how it would impact the community.

It's amazing how the people who don't live here have been wrong about everything
