The real 'bad guys' in all this are the folks that ran the county and business leaders in/around Independence. I mean it's not like the Legends sprang up from some hotbed of economic activity. Folks grabbed the wheel and made it happen. Jackson County just never proactively worked towards developing that area. When the city was growing, it grew north and west. But it didn't HAVE to be that way. And the Truman complex was a natural focal point to create some gravitational pull and bring that growth that direction. City/county leaders simply failed. For decades. And now there's likely to be a reckoning. |

...and he is correct, which begs the question: "which area IS worthy of development?". Finding the right combination of inexpensive land that allows a similar tailgating experience, and close proximity to real entertainment districts is a very difficult challenge. Does it even exist?

The complex and much of the surrounds are in Kansas City, so additional residential development was always dicey due to KC School Dist. Almost all the surrounding area not comprised of blue-collar housing is zoned indsutrial (and for a reason), and the Leeds plant dominated the area at the time, plus it was mostly freeway and rail lines. The area was never a strong candidate for development, but they chose the site because it was large, cheap, and had great highway access...those were the important factors at the time.

They want a new stadium. And they don't want it in Jackson County. If they did, that would've been exactly what they proposed. And they couldn't have really expected to get anywhere with what they put out there. |

I imagine it's because Clark thought fans valued the history and atmosphere of Arrowhead, and as Donovan said the area isn't worth developing. If they're going to build new they're going to do it wherever they can make as much money as possible.
