KC annexed all those lands that surround the airport long ago. Much remains undeveloped and was the first choice of NASCAR till KC politics crushed the idea. Nascar popularity has kind of slowed while the NFL just keeps growing. That is an area that can be turned into something Clark could envision as being a success. But so could Bonner Springs or Gardner and yes KCK in Kansas.

By KCK I am talking the Wyandotte County area around the racetrack, not Quindaro.

The mayor is not even a factor after the election failure and his pushing the stadium into the crossroads blew up like a dollar watch. He is a bystander at this point, no bullets in his gun. He can now sit back and wait for Cleaver to die and then go to Washington. What a disaster he brought on to KC.
John Sherman is perhaps the least likable face of a team as there could be. He may be the best dude ever but comes across as a PR nightmare aided by his wife who shit on herself after the vote. Frank White is not smart enough to come inside. But he was able to undermine the Royals every step of the way with small comments and questions. Jackson County should eject him asap. The way this shapes up is The Chiefs were happy with the program they had on the ballot but were forced by Q and White to tie to the Royals and that sunk them. Now they are separate, it green lights a new day, lets look at all options. and KS will run hard to get them. The tax income from stadium is enormous for the County and State. I actually could see the Chiefs move to KS and the Royals leave KC entirely. KC had a worldclass stadium complex. Now it could be another deserted area of eastern KC for the hoodrats to spray paint. |

I don't spend a lot of time at Legends, but you have Kansas Speedway, Sporting KC, T-Bones, Hollywood Casino, Great Wolf Lodge, Dave and Buster's, Stanford's, Cabela's, NFM, AMC, etc......vs.....a Taco Bell and Subway and shitty roads. Yeah, I don't think it's a contest in terms of which area has more attractions. |

If going based purely on fandom/fan support, the Chiefs have a majority of the house. It's not based just on that, though. Obviously. I suspect the MO legislature and governor's office are motivated to keep both teams in the state (In fact, I know this from talking to the husband of a friend of mine who is a state rep on the side of the aisle that is in power). Kansas City itself and the state will work to keep the Royals. Kansas City, or North Kansas City + Kansas City and the state will work to keep the Chiefs. And all of the tax shit will probably be worse than it would have been had the sales tax extension passed, and Johnson County will continue to suck off the teat of Kansas City proper while freeloading on the things that make the area cool. |

Nobody wants Mayor Q involved in anything that matters. That dude is a slimy one who sucks the penis.
But we can all envision a bold new future Arrowhead 2.0 at The Legends can't we? Lines of superdutys with university of misery vanity plates idling in the mist at dawn. Waiting to get inside The House That Pat Built In Kansas and spend their money |

One new thing getting lost in all of this is Clark Hunt seriously talking about going with a dome stadium. That part would really suck, wherever the stadium is.

A new domed stadium out by the racetrack in Kansas? I guess that's better than moving to San Antonio etc. but still would suck big time.

It wouldn't be a crazy short walk, but a mile from Jazz, YardHouse, and several other restaurants... about the same as walking from Lot L. |
