Sure, between KS and MO, but I'm interested to know why we didn't hear a lot from other cities. Seems like the chiefs are potentially losing money if they don't look for bids outside of KC metro.

The NFL would lose credibility with a lot of fans if a franchise as well-supported as the Chiefs have been by a local fanbase entertained bids to leave. You have to remember that the NFL gameday product is fairly weak, 3 hours of pickup truck commercials and replay reviews and about 30 minutes of "action", if you can call it that. We NFL fans are fairly stupid and completely addicted. Thankfully, the NFL ensures that all the fanbases can at least hope to win a championship at some point in the near future. But, if the Chiefs were to pull some shit like entertaining bids from cities that almost certainly would be "non or only marginally major league" cities, it would throw a lot of ice water on fan faces around the country and wake a lot of them up and make them reexamine their lives and sports interests.

If fans and cities believed their team isn't going to move then what is the incentive for cities to pay billions of dollars to keep them? |

The main difference is the Chiefs' owner isn't a complete piece of shit. |

The Chiefs haven't exhausted their options in the KC metro region, yet. It would look horrible for them and for the league for them to go shopping themselves around until they get further along in the process, especially given that they'd be courting mid-major cities, not somewhere like LA.

Considering we have no idea where it will be built that's an impossible thing to say, you have zero idea where parking will be
