Perhaps the worst PR effort ever in the history of politics

This has every sign of failure and desperation by the pro forces and the Mayor is in hiding cause he knows the stain of failure will be on him


Today, the Committee to Keep the Chiefs and Royals in Jackson County released the following statement from Kansas City Royals Chairman and CEO John Sherman about the Crossroads ballpark proposal and the development around Oak Street:

“I want to thank Mayor Quinton Lucas for his leadership and tireless advocacy as we work to make the best possible ballpark district in downtown Kansas City,” said John Sherman, Chairman and CEO of the Kansas City Royals. “We have been listening to members of the Crossroads community and had thoughtful conversations with the Mayor and City Council to improve the ballpark district impact. Through these conversations we have come to realize the importance of keeping Oak Street open. We acknowledge Oak Street is an integral part of the downtown experience, and therefore we agree to change the ballpark district design to keep Oak Street open. We look forward to working with the Mayor and City Council to begin this joint effort.”

So they really dont have a real solid plan at all

They never have, all this speaks to is cash grab, then when it inevitably costs a lot more than they projected they'll come back like a crackhead "I need a little bit more money"
