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. [Reply]

If it comes to that, sure. I'd never worry about the Chiefs, they play so few games and each is such a big deal with all the planning, where they play in the area means nothing. As for the Royals, because they don't appear to be genuinely committed to winning yin and year out (don't let their current record fool you, look at their past and look at how much of a cheap-ass they're CEO is), I don't think I'll go to many games. Neither team was ever the JACO Chiefs/Royals, they were the KC Chiefs/Royals, it goes the way you've described it'll be nice to have an option to attend a game while not being ass-raped by they team's owners every few years.

"Kansas City Manager Brian Platt said...the city is in talks with both teams and will take the lead on future negotiations, displacing Jackson County government from that role.
Platt suggested that the next deal for a downtown ballpark might not require a public vote...."

That'll go over well.
The vast majority of spending of public money is decided upon by our elected officials. Although it is funny how insanely conservative people are about a 3/8th cent sales tax while they think nothing of electing people who will spend money on all manner of other shit they care nothing about.

If the Mayor has to take it out of the irresponsible public’s hands in order to keep the Royals and Chiefs in the area then that’s what he should do.
Hopefully they eminent domain the Crossroads and slap that nice new ballpark there. Don’t give the tenants and the average sports hating citizen a chance to fuck it up this time. [Reply]
