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]

From what I could gather, rolling roofs add up to $50mm to the tab, but it would be worth it to not have to watch a game in a dome. [Reply]

There's a mediocre Chinese buffet in a building that used to be a Ponderosa... a good Mexican joint in an old IHOP building. Culture.

Truman Sports Complex is nearer to Independence than Raytown. In fact if memory serves me They have an agreement with the Independence Water department that serves some of TSC with water. [Reply]
TSC is in a barren shithole of an area whereas Village West is already well established. MO needs to come up with something to match what KS is offering. If it's just another piss poor Arrowhead renovation like in the recent vote then it's already a foregone conclusion they are moving over the state line IMO. [Reply]
Some Kansas lawmakers have seen conceptual renderings of what a domed new stadium for the Kansas City Chiefs could look like positioned near The Legends and Kansas Speedway in western Wyandotte County. https://t.co/QpbigpgY7Opic.twitter.com/sSAyS1EMHE
Anyone else thinking that the Royals/Chiefs both planned all along to see this vote fail, so they could go their "separate" ways and leverage Kansas and Missouri against each other? Say the Chiefs get a deal cut with Kansas sooner than later, leaving Missouri with nothing but the Royals and their hopes to get a new downtown/NKC stadium?
Might be the best thing for both franchises and the KC Metro region as a whole. [Reply]

That was the best Annies Santa Fe in the area. The best looking babes they filter later over to Jerimiah Tuttles to dance.
We were the engineer and surveyors for Copaken White and Blitt who built the Bannister Mall. I spent a lot of time out there when it was being built. Memories ! [Reply]
As long as the team stays in the metro area Chiefs fans in general should be happy. As a fan I think the most important thing is that the Chiefs fundamentally remain the same team. And a nice location on the KS sounds fine.
Having said that, for the state of Missouri, surely it's be a bad look to end up losing four championship winning major league teams in the last 15 years.
Maybe the average non sports fan doesn't give enough of a shit for the state to do much about this. Again, I don't know how this works but I'd have thought that the state would want to work with the counties to keep these teams around. Especially when one is in the middle of a dynasty which has thrust Kansas City into the international sports spotlight. [Reply]
