Sherman and the MLB must be pretty butthurt with Clark right about now. Expected to piggyback off the Chiefs to get a blank canvas for a stadium and instead they got driven off a ****ing cliff.

I reiterate - I think they could get a 50/50 split on a whole new stadium if they pursued it and actually sold it well to the public. But "Hey, give us 2/3 of our build costs on luxury suites your poor asses will never be allowed near" isn't going to get it done. $700 million and $700 million will get you enough to build a hell of a stadium. It won't be the $2 billion behemoth the Raiders got in LV, but it'll be a top 5ish stadium in the NFL in terms of amenities. But it's gonna cost Clark more and it's gonna be harder to design/build. Clark relied on inertia in pursuing the path of least resistance. It was a piss poor effort that killed this and not some dogmatic opposition to public/private stadium partnerships. |

Either team could likely get something done. But this attempt was pretty much the worst of all possible worlds once Clark saw it as an opportunity to get something for nothing. |

610 cited a political contact in KC said polling was done in 2022/2023 that suggested a downtown stadium would lose by a 51 to 49 mark.

Nah, Arrowhead is donezo now. It's been made obvious at this point with Hunt letting the standards of the facilities slide into the worst in the NFL and this proposal that was purposely designed to fail.

And now he can avoid the backlash, and justify it by the vote failing

"Rainy Day" surpluses of a state aren't earmarked for stadium construction. Kansas would have to go through the same protracted battle and long term tax sales that Jackson is going through. Which county gets the future tax benefits? Does the rest of the state get a split since the funds are also theirs? Does the state decrease taxes in future years, since they obviously "collected too much" in the first place? Kansas won't be writing a check without some big battles.
