These were the totally necessary upgrades that would definitely not just be for the 1% of Chiefs fans.
“The Chiefs' plan was just as ill-conceived: Renderings of a "reimagined" Arrowhead Stadium featured the very necessary "new endzone suites," "VIP access road," and "VIP entry + canopy." |

Could he? Sure. Will he? Nah. Someone will give him the money. It's just a matter of where.

Kansas City actually has quite an advantage over some metro areas because it is in two states...and a large amount of the population is in 4-5 counties. Some areas the vast majority of the population is not only in one state, but in one or two counties as well. One would think this would help the other areas make a play at the Royals or the Chiefs and keep our boys home.

No doubt in my mind that Hunt’s people are getting the Dallas mayor to make these statements to ratchet up pressure.

He's not gonna only be asking for money to improve his rich friends' game day experience somewhere else though. He's gonna have to ask for enough for an entire stadium somewhere else and I think that would have went over better than asking for money to improve the lives of the wealthy. If it were the just the Chiefs on the ballot and they asked for the same thing they were asking for with this most recent vote, then it probably fails just as bad as it did. However, if he was asking for money to completely revamp the Truman Sports Complex and rebuild another stadium I think it would pass.

Ballpark in NKC would be awesome. Have it on the river overlooking downtown. It would be a beautiful view from the seats. The current did it, don’t see why the Royals can’t.

NKC is a cool area. It could become KC version of Wrigleyville. Still think downtown would be better though.

IMO, all you have to do is look at Power & Light to see the problem; guaranteed returns for the investors and the city makes up the shortfall. There's only so much entertainment money available in the KC area; to take from one to pay the other. Just have a look at Westport and the Plaza to see how the improved entertainment has helped.
Revenue sharing in baseball would make this easier to swallow; as it is, IMO, fans in the small market areas are being penalized and forced to pay because the large market teams don't want an even playing field. |

That sounds exactly like when someone asks me to work for free, "This will be great exposure for you!"
