We have to save the Crossroads!!!! And its'....strip clubs and sushi restaurants....


Those are way more valuable to KC than the Chiefs and Royals!

Fescoe has been royals shilling and dick sucking for months. He might kill himself on air tomorrow morning. I’ll tune in for that

Are you the guy who is drunk at work?

VOTER FRAUD

This thing is getting clobbered lmao

“Welcome to Fescoe in the morning!”

*single gunshot*

*three hours of silence*

This is nothing like that

Lololololol

It would be the best work he’s ever done on air

San Diego, St. Louis, Oakland....so many examples but heaven forbid we pass an extension of an exsisting tax...this was not going to cost anyone anything extra, but now it could cost KC everything.

Keep telling yourself that. It still won't make it true.

Heaven forbid the royals present a cohesive plan that taxpayers could understand!

So you want him to pull a Budd Dwyer?

There's still 7 years remaining on the lease. The sense of urgency is artificial. There were way too many things in the current proposal without a lick of legal detail. There was no community benefits agreement made, which is what would have given the actual community tangible benefits instead of just future promises with no detailed path to make it work. The teams aren't simply going to throw their hands up and move away. Missouri also just voted to eliminate corporate income tax as well, which is more incentive for them to stay in MO.

You live in a dumpster city. Maybe after the chiefs and royals leave it will be affordable enough for you to move here

The mayor is an incompentant stooge and the Jackson County Executive is corrupt....such fantastic leadership in KC.

Oklahoma City Chiefs (or new name)

They’ll give Clark his money and it’s only a 20 minute flight to Dallas.

So many of these guys live in a state of panic and fear. The worst is gonna happen now! The sky is really falling this time!

Reads like a gameday thread

Mayor Q was against a tax extension before he was for it.

LMAO

It's incredible.

You realize the Chargers didn't have 7 years left on their lease right and a billionaire owner wanted to move them to one of the largest markets

The Kansas Chiefs?

What an embarrassment this is for Kansas City. Sad, sad day for KC and the region as a whole.

LMAO

or it could be the Omaha Chiefs... At least that would bring back winning football to Nebraska.

Go cry into your toaster, drama queen.

San Antonio Chiefs

Nashville Royals

Royals could have also helped this vote by NOT BEING SHIT FOR DECADES AT A TIME

The sky is not falling...but if you cannot see that there is a real chance of rain, I don't know what to tell you.

That decisive of a margin doesn't at all suggest it would have passed if it weren't for the whole Crossroads thing.

The Royals aren't getting Jackson County money. The Chiefs might if they split themselves off..

So to be clear, you won't care and won't be upset at all when the Royals move and the Chiefs leave Arrowhead?

Just want to make sure.

Chiefs deliver a dynasty and we tell them to **** off. City is the laughing stock of the league for this.

Yep.

Well... If it was a close vote, no panic, but it got destroyed. It's hard to wait another 8 months to a year and hope it makes up 22,000 votes, or move on to a Kansas location or another Missouri county plan and start the process. 5-6 years once passed isn't very long.

If i'm Sherman or Hunt and I see that margin, why would I waste my time pouring money into another proposal and campaign just to see it fail again?

This vote makes it very clear that Kansas City does not want the Royals or the Chiefs around.

Won't be surprised if Sherman especially starts talking to other cities very shortly.

Cool out then separately on a ballot and have a vote

I do think there is some urgency because you can't wait until the end of the lease to make a call. I don't think most sports teams wait until the absolute final year of the lease to make a move. The call has to be made in the next year or two just to give enough time to build a new stadium so there's a place to play by the last year of the lease. Even just renovating an existing stadium, the Arrowhead renovations would have started in 2027 and not been done until 2030 or 31.

LMAO

It also makes it clear that the Chiefs had the pulse of this vote and may be one of the reasons the practice facilities have been neglected. I wouldn't be surprised if they look to move in 7 years and do a deal with Kansas, or another Missouri County and will move their practice facilities and will start building and moving their offices and practice facilities in the next few years.

If the chiefs don’t have the royals anchor they can get what they want. I said it from the beginning this vote was going to be a reflection of how the county feels about the royals and Sherman’s “plan”

And it was

Chiefs don't want to be at the Sports Complex anyways. They are licking their chops at Kansas. Royals listened too many people. Same clowns bitched at East Village then praised it when they moved to the better spot in the Crossroads. Then bitched about the Crossroads when its the right spot for it. North KC will probably jump on them if not Salt Lake City will. They got the ownership group with deep pockets and stadium plan.

Damn. I sure hope they don’t seriously consider out by Legends.

Chiefs can go to Kansas and the Royals can go to hell

No more complaining about the industrial park out in the middle of nowhere

The Royals downtown might be dead but this thing didn't pass anywhere in Jackson County and likely wouldn't pass in Clay County. My guess is either the city somehow pays for it, or private funding with some help from the state, or a vote in Kansas

Propose the same tax but give 100% of the money to the Chiefs

that shit would pass immediately


Royals ****ed this up, it is completely on them

The royals put out a shit plan and a shit product for decades. This is an anti royals vote

Clark will undoubtedly get in talks with other cities. He’s a business man. I doubt he would go far from hole though (Dallas).

He’ll likely use places like OKC or San Antonio as leverage

I am honestly shocked at the number of people who don’t want downtown baseball.

The Royals went YOLO and the Chiefs plans looked like Matt Cassel drew them up

The whole thing has been bizarre

No one wants to pay for it with tax dollars.

Technically, they just don't want Royals baseball downtown.

I 100% have thought from the beginning that's what is going to happen. That Sam McDowell article about Kansas coming after the Chiefs a couple months ago had to be leaked by the Chiefs to create some buzz. I don't buy into all the doom and gloom at all about the teams moving to other cities but I do think tonight might have been the death of Arrowhead Stadium. We're all going to be on here complaining in 10 years how the new stadium doesn't have the same atmosphere and that's kind of sad but that's how it goes with these things.

If that’s the deal then we will lose them. Amy stadium is going to be tax funded.

The "parking" freak out was hilarious to me. Where will we park??!!!

Probably the same place people park when they go to the downtown games in St. Louis and Cincinnati and Cleveland and Pittsburgh and Detroit and Minneapolis and Baltimore and Phoenix and Denver and....

Looking back now, it does make we wonder if the teams didn't secretly want this to fail. Sure wasn't exactly an aggressive push on their part.

Chiefs can't really go anywhere unless a full relocation to Europe is on the table.

But the more I think about it, yeah, the Royals are toast.

This thing got destroyed didn't win a single precinct in KC if I'm reading this right

Makes me even more thankful for the recent success.

Chiefs HAVE to distance themselves from the losers if they are serious about staying at Arrowhead. You don’t even want the royals Twitter account going to bat for you if you’re Clark. They’re poison.

Guess I should make my first visit to Arrowhead soonish.

Let’s look on the bright side. We get Mahomes for the majority of his career and all of his prime. Once he retires, wellll…..look at the Patriots. Oklahoma City or whatever can have that. Once the Chiefs are good again by 2090, we’ll all be dead anyway.

He should have gone pumpkin picking

Let them iron out the proposal and see how this goes next year.

There will be another report next year about them doing deep deep scans at Arrowhead and finding concrete cancer just like the K.

Hard to do when Mahomes is a (minor) owner of the Royals now and very vocal about it.

Hard to see the Royals moving with local ownership including people like Mahomes. My guess would be Kansas throws money from Garden City all the way to Mission Hills at them to move to the Kansas side

It's pretty obvious the Royals, and their owner, totally ****ed this up at nearly every step of the process.

Mahomes has million of reasons for the Royals to relocate to another metro.

The only other play for the Chiefs may be for the Royals to get a deal elsewhere and the Chiefs would get it passed and get all the funds... It will be interesting.

We lose the Royals now thx alot

They did. How are people not getting this?

Then you really dont want the teams then. Every city pays for it

People actually claiming they WANT the Royals to leave? Absolutely crazy.

Laura Kelly is popping a bottle of champagne as we speak. IIRC this possibility was brought up when KS was legalizing sports betting.

Assuming a spot by the speedway would be idea? I know no one wants to even think about a new stadium, but it’s happening

It’s not about want. It’s about apathy.

You lose enough and then threaten to leave and a lot of folks lose interest real quick

Yeah right. Takes years to build. They will look elsewhere very soon if not now.

Going to have to fly Allegiant to Tulsa to chin check foos at the FWS now

So basically Chiefs stay in Kansas City and Royals are out?

Somebody fill me in please.

Chiefs will leave as well. Thats enough reason to vote yes.
