FTR, I have not lived in KC since 1989, so I literally do not how developed, under developed the area is anymore. I have never been to the Sprint Center and likewise, know nothing of it as well.

Just get Mahomes to record a personal message asking voters to vote yes… easy win.
I had a good friend tell me over a year ago that he sat in on a meeting with city leaders and this spot is exactly what they (and the Royals) wanted. The leaders said they want it there to get an influx of business inside of P&L due to it basically being a black hole of money for the city since it opened. [Reply]

:-) Makes total sense. Squabble about all the other spots, including which county to put it in, just to miraculously have the spot you wanted all along swoop in as a late contender. [Reply]

Is there any proof of this thought that P&L is a huge failure in the current times? I was there before a Nate Bargatze show last week and every place was packed to the brim. I could not sit down anywhere. When I was a young man...always packed. Serving overpriced drinks and always busy. How it could be a black hole for money I dont quite get [Reply]
Very impressive on how the Royals went from hosting anti-porn seminars in spring training to having a hooters bar down the 3rd base line with this new downtown stadium location in under a decade. [Reply]
This is a terrible place to put it. They'll literally be killing the cultural heart of the city. A thriving entertainment district full of great restaurants, music venues, and it all happened organically.
