The rich wine and cheese crowd from where?

They still have to go to Kansas.

The wine and cheese crowd assumption cracks me up. So far from the truth.

Tickets today are 500% more expensive than they were 8 years ago.

Still the same blue collar die yards out there every week. We have lost zero guys from our 15 year tailgate crew.

People will come. Maybe you won’t. But if you’re a sour ass then that’s fine anyway.

**** you, Frank Clark!

Slaps BBQ about a month ago, why?

Because Parson is the one spending too much time at the buffet to see that he alone let county to fight an adjoining state on their own. It's not over and he could decide to stick it to KS, but I have a feeling that he won't because, well, Jeff City only cares about St. Louis.

It's all good, if the entire state of Kansas and their farmers can build a $2B stadium for me to go to occasionally, good for them. And the KCK Royals still makes me laugh.

Ok, so you were just being totally tongue in cheek then.

About the future KCK Royals being funny? No, it's funny...

About KCK being a potential landing spot.

Though the thriving dive bar scene there in the Strawberry Hill and Russian Hill neighborhoods would provide the “entertainment district” for people who aren’t content with the games actually being the entertainment.

KCK is being floated as a place for Kansas to stick the Royals. If that happens, that's funny.

The reactions from the “no” vote people who seemed super confident this would just lead to a better proposal to stay will be interesting should they both leave.

Meh, I voted "no", and I'm OK with driving to Kansas to see the occasional Chiefs game. Maybe I'm one of the few who don't mind.

And the KCK Royals is just funny... After they sell off enough good players and go back to the bottom of the league, they'll be the most recent Oakland A's - a shit team in the area's slums.

A pretty decent convo for the first 20 minutes of Petro's Chiefs podcast about the stadiums. Brought in Sam McDowell who's been very connected on all this from the beginning.

McDowell had a lot of good thoughts. He was clear that neither team did a great job here, but at the same time sounded like he's not sure Missouri has the support to make this happen regardless. Definitely not at the state level, and then you have to consider the current stadiums are owned by the county and their executive (Frank White) has not been supportive of this and he's not sure there's the momentum at the county level to override him. Said the Chiefs might not want to do that dance again. Made it sound like the teams are still interested in Missouri but will the state or local governments work with them at all.

I can appreciate how emphatic he was about how absent the State of Missouri has been in the events, it's pretty telling. I don't think it would have forced the teams to provide the answers all seek, they want a blank check and no risk, but it's interesting how Missouri doesn't get involved while the State to our west does business as a State.
