McDowell: Why The Chiefs Pursuit to Renovate Arrowhead Has Hit A Snag
We've been talking about this for a few weeks over in the Royals thread. It's been interesting to see how quiet the Chiefs have been while the Royals negotiate for a new stadium, and in the last couple weeks there's more and more smoke that the Chiefs and Royals staying in Jackson County is not a sure thing. Sam McDowell finally wrote about it. It's a very long column so I just picked some highlights. It's a good breakdown of the situation. It sounds like Kansas hasn't made any serious offers but they're the obvious alternative if Jackson County decides to punt, and it sounds like the Royals and Chiefs want answers soon.

At some point Governor Parsons is going to have to get involved, right?
Losing the Royals would hurt, but losing their second football team to KANSAS? I hope this has all been worth it for Frank White. |

Lol this is an awful excuse to pay for billionaires. As a KCMO resident it would be awesome if both went to KS

As a born Kansan, I too would be very excited to see the Chiefs land in Wyandotte. I’d just be stunned if Missouri let that happen lying down.

The city will have SKC in the east village in a decade and nobody will care the Royals moved to Kansas. |

While the loss of said revenue would not be immediately felt, over the course of time the city will have to raise taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, etc. to start recouping the monies lost. City governments are slow to react to trends like a steady loss of tax revenue, especially revenue that isn't easily tracked or quantified, as in this case, and that delay could end up causing long term damage to the city that would more than likely be a long term issue. I don't know. I am super high, but I remember lectures from economics in college talking about this type of issue. Actually, I am thinking of a lecture hosted by the economics and political science professors. I can't remember the freaking introduction of the lecture, but I feel like it was something about city management, but I am really high and can't remember. |

The extension of the existing tax seems fair enough to exist in the pro sports space
Footing the bill to demolish Kauffman seems kind of shitty but probably negotiable So unless there's something more, and I didn't read the entire article, just the OP, it seems the hang up isn't the burden on tax payers but Jackson County (or White) feeling like they're not getting a big enough piece of the revenue pie from the teams |

The folks that are nuts are the ones who keep bashing the Royals about the tax renewal part of their proposal.
I say if Royals leave Jackson County, there will still be a 3/8 cent Jackson sales tax and all of it will be for the Chiefs venue. If Royals are asking for renewal of 3/8th tax and use the money for both teams venues, that would be a better deal for taxpayers, because the tax will be renewed for the Chiefs any way. The site that would include KC Star printing building would be a much better location than the East Village in my opinion. |
