Kansas would write a blank check tomorrow. 80% of the sports betting tax revenue goes directly to bringing a professional sports team to Kansas.

The Chiefs aren’t leaving KC, but knowing Kansas will give whatever it takes is how Clark will get his way. Or just move there

80% of what Kansas gets in the first two fiscal years of sports betting likely is not enough to pay Joe Thuney's 2024 salary.

The poll results are hilarious up top. Dead tie for Jackson county residents on a sports message board and an overwhelming yes for anybody from NYC, Chicago, Phoenix, STL, Tulsa, Springfield or wherever the **** they were from.

Don't you guys want to be like us?? Don't you want to be in the big city cool kids club?? Why do you even care about that part of the city? I did a drive by on google and that was a lot of research!!

Now they'll be quick to tell us how WE WILL NEVER BE BIG TIME, WE WILL NEVER BE IN THE CLUB AND WILL ALWAYS BE FLYOVER COUNTRY. Oh no! I wanted to be just like them

Can we please give the rich guys more money? I don't want to become Eureka Arkansas.

At this point that's the best we can hope for since the shitty KCMO went full on stupid.

There is currently 1,000 residential units under construction now in Downtown, with sites already purchased for additional hotel and conventional space...so, yes, "people from all over the country" are visiting.

If I'm being completely honest, I care about the Chiefs far more than I care about KC. I'm just surprised that you'd open up the remote possibility of them going elsewhere at all.

Hopefully they'll end up in a nice new stadium that's closer to the airport and other amenities rather than moving to another city at least.

The rich guys can have money if they actually work to get it. Much like everything else in their lives they were used to somebody handing them things without protest

Yes, and throw in the highway re-vamping needed for downtown relocation, and you need every bit of 5 years to complete.

IF Clark Hunt actually wants to remain in Arrowhead then this is one of the biggest bag fumbles I've ever seen. Should've been a layup to secure funding, even with the anchor of Sherman weighing him down with any sort of remotely thought out proposition, and instead he gets exposed as a cheap ass piece of shit that even the players are sick of and has the organization spend all of its energy threatening to leave if it doesn't pass. He's somehow already burned through the goodwill that Reid and Mahomes brought him.

He has to have been throwing on purpose. Only question is what's the motive? Disassociate himself from the Royals debacle and put forth an actual proposal once they've ****ed off? Move to Wyandotte?

They are lying. They aren't the Missouri Chiefs.

Kansas Kansas City Chiefs, thank you very much.

Even if they do build a new stadium, Arrowhead will be getting most of if not all of the golden years of Chiefs football. Probably be exactly like the Chase Center for the Warriors. Shiny new building built JUST a bit too late to capitalize on most of the dynasty.

All I know is that KS is a bit more affluent than MO? And KC, KS already has SKC and the Speedway so in theory I suppose it could work. It wouldn't be uprooting the team and it's history like any other interstate move.

Like St. Louis county is to Jefferson City, JOCO/WYCO is to Topeka - IOW the state will pull out all the stops to fund anything to keep their one geographic area thriving.

BleedingRed 04-03-2024 07:58 AM

And just like the Dallas Cowboys, the Chiefs are moving

St. Joe voted yes for schools and libraries. Get yo sh1t together KC!
