Despite being a bigger fan of the East Village site (which would have helped further pull up that neighborhood). Still not sure what happened there (suspect the owner of the old Star printing building made the real estate purchases easier and cheaper).

The Royals aren’t staying at the current site. That option doesn’t exist. If this fails, they’ll move to a different county or different city all together.

I don’t like either idea.

Less infrastructure worries at the Crossroads and with Power & Light already there don't have to build another entertainment district. Can just build the stadium and the high rise.

Investment groups have a strangle hold on the KC single family market. Rent will be ****ed forever more.

If you want to side with the communists at KC Tenants go right ahead.

Give the Clarks whatever they want or Gracie will be cutting way down on the cheesecake photos.

LIKE IT OR NOT YOU ARE A SERF AND LORD HUNT DEMANDS YOUR TRIBUTE

I wish this was a vote to give the Clarks anything they want. They deserve it.

Instead it's tied into a loser franchise that's given the city like 3 seasons of happiness in 40 years.

The loser Royals will have a new stadium before KC with some of the highest crime rates in the nation will have a jail. Speaks volumes about the rubes who live in this crime ridden shithole

Of course. He knows he's holding onto a walmart bag full of dogshit. Shove that dogshit into a Louis Vitton purse and laugh all the way to the bank.

If people are voting no because they think they won't find a parking spot, then they're butt ****ing morons... who cares if someone says there are 40k spots. They're dumb and the Royals clearly don't need that many anyway.

Someone else has probably done more accurate math by now, but seems like split evenly across ~500k Jackson County adults, comes out to $100 per year or $4000 across 40 years.

End of the day, you add 8 bucks per month to whatever other costs are associated with watching the Royals... it's not a scam and definitely not a grift, you're literally voting on it.

And if your issue is handing over money to rich people, then I have some really bad news about life...

You really gotta stop using the word communists so much.

If you take a look at Shermans personal worth, a metric shit ton of it is tied to the Royals, every bit of this speaks to a buy the team, get a stadium, sell it for double what he paid for it to bump up his wealth significantly.

Is it that life sucks?

I’m not a Jackson County resident so this isn’t my fight.

But it does make me cringe when I see people online say dumb shit like “Vote No. Stay at the K.”

Like people understand that’s not an option right? The Royals will either get a new ballpark here or they will get it elsewhere.

This vote is basically, “Vote yes to have Major League Baseball in Kansas City. Vote no to get rid of it.”

Which, if people don’t want baseball here and are fine with losing the Royals then more power to them. I just hope everyone understands exactly what the stakes are.

Yeah it sucks to have to subsidize billionaires, but we don’t live in “Shouldland” we live in “Reality World” where unfortunately that’s the cost of having pro sports teams.

Losing pro sports would be incredibly costly to KC and the region and I think there is more value in being a pro sports city than the anti “sportsball” crowd would ever admit.

Think of how much money and name recognition and prestige the Chiefs have brought to KC in the last decade. It’s enormous and that’s something that’s hard to put a price on.

If I lived there, this would be an easy yes. But again, easy to say when it’s not my money.

I think people do completely forget how ****ing old those stadiums are, Royals stadium is only behind Wrigley and Fenway for oldest stadium in the league, it is not a historical momument like those.
