[QUOTE=philfree;17601087]The people that allow the Chiefs to walk to a different state should have to where a big Chiefs Red L on their forehead for the rest of their lifes. $150.00 a year each? And that probably doesn't account for the tax revenue collected from people from out of the county that come to see the Chiefs and Royals.
Really, if you’re you’re going to criticize.. |

People comparing the votes and funding of a need, public schools, to a want, private sports, and targeting the voters who prioritize those two things as they should be is asinine. They vote on each as they see fit and as they come along. Unless they're willing to foot the bill non locals should probably keep their traps shut about the locals making their own area's financial decisions, especially considering they haven't even cleaned up the property tax debacle, scandal, ineptitude, whatever you want to call it. If you want a bigger middle finger the next time around, everyone should keep talking smack to the residents about how they should be spending their money. I don't really understand why people would even expect a county to compete with a state at this point either. Especially, when those resident can just drive a few miles and get the same experience for free. Kansas didn't even think about trying to ram the funding down a single county's throat, and for good reason. |

Is green bay thriving? Buffalo? Detroit? Cleveland? Maybe if a city isn't already a major tourist destination then perhaps a stadium doesn't help that much? It's a tough to hear how great the stadiums are for the city when you take a look around. |

With zero pro sports in town we would get so much more yard work done!

Arrowhead may be seen as something their tax money got right. As time changes both stadium are too much an expense. The last vote may have said as much

Now why are they in bad shape and not generating more revenue? No clue. If the city/county own them then that would be a question that they would be better answering. I can say that governments at all levels mismanage funds and resources all the time. Might as well keep a tax that’s been around for a long time to upgrade stadiums that at least provide a distraction and civic pride to the residents. I might feel differently if they were introducing a new tax, but they aren’t. |

But one thing I know for sure is that the stadiums do not bring in this unlimited wealth as some want to believe. |
