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.

Also, it would be great to see a major concert in the summer without the sun baking everyone alive. |

It's on now. Frank White vetoed putting the tax on the ballot and as it stands now he has the votes to make it stand. If someone doesn't flip back in the next four days the chances of the Royals and Chiefs leaving Missouri would have to go up I'd imagine.

So what is Franks goal? I'm not from KC so I don't know anything about the politics of this.

We never were and never will be the Kansas Chiefs, regardless of this pure speculation. |

Does Frank White really want to be the guy who sent the Chiefs and Royals away?
Over a simple vote to maintain the status quo? |

At least when they move to Kansas it will finally end all confusion to the rest of the world as to which state they actually play in

However, I have said many times, and it pisses people off, but I won't vote for anything that doesn't include covering whatever stadium with a roof, preferably a retractable roof. |

First and foremost-
I loved frank White when he was a Royal. Past that he is a bit of a dimwit. I loved cookie rojas as well but ain't no scenario on earth I want him in politcs. George Brett (and his statue) hell yes. If the Hunts tell Jackson County/Raytown to pound sand and decide to build a new version of Arrowhead 2. I applaud it. I do not give two hoots what side of the river the new stadium is located. I am thinking anyone outside of Jackson County feels the same. The are THE KANSAS City Chiefs. It Dont say MO and it don't say Ray. There are 4 or 5 or 6 other counties in the metro area that probably will welcome the stadium. Let the market decide. Sincerely, A guy who lives close to what is soon to be the Aurora Broncos and a fan of seeing what Arrowhead 2 would look like, sans the GEHA. |

A county/development district could structure it 1000 different ways without a direct tax increase to it's citizens. I am not for public funding of this kind of thing via tax increase but am wide open to incentives. |
