Sure, between KS and MO, but I'm interested to know why we didn't hear a lot from other cities. Seems like the chiefs are potentially losing money if they don't look for bids outside of KC metro.

The NFL would lose credibility with a lot of fans if a franchise as well-supported as the Chiefs have been by a local fanbase entertained bids to leave. You have to remember that the NFL gameday product is fairly weak, 3 hours of pickup truck commercials and replay reviews and about 30 minutes of "action", if you can call it that. We NFL fans are fairly stupid and completely addicted. Thankfully, the NFL ensures that all the fanbases can at least hope to win a championship at some point in the near future. But, if the Chiefs were to pull some shit like entertaining bids from cities that almost certainly would be "non or only marginally major league" cities, it would throw a lot of ice water on fan faces around the country and wake a lot of them up and make them reexamine their lives and sports interests.

If fans and cities believed their team isn't going to move then what is the incentive for cities to pay billions of dollars to keep them? |

The main difference is the Chiefs' owner isn't a complete piece of shit. |

The Chiefs haven't exhausted their options in the KC metro region, yet. It would look horrible for them and for the league for them to go shopping themselves around until they get further along in the process, especially given that they'd be courting mid-major cities, not somewhere like LA.

Considering we have no idea where it will be built that's an impossible thing to say, you have zero idea where parking will be

Still don't understand why Jackson County didn't just vote to continue what they have. Why open the door like this?

Frank White never shows up to Jackson County meetings because he is the 1st base coach for the Monarchs (formerly T-Bones). Who knows what he is thinking? He seems to have little communication with other legislators. State $$ from Missouri is partially dependent on who wins the 8/6 GOP primary for governor. Kehoe will play ball with the teams. Ashcroft says he is a no. Eigel is a hell no. If one of the latter 2 wins, then Parson will have to pull some strings on the way out the door. Some have floated a special session, some think Parson can give them economic development on the way out the door. Overall, rumor I've heard is that the Chiefs prefer being in Jackson County because the taxpayer $$ is their golden goose. a 3/8 cent for 40 years is roughly the same amount as a KS STAR bond with a lot less complications. That factored with potential MO state money means the ceiling for $ is the highest in Jackson County by far. That is probably why its harder to get money out of those jurisdictions |

The revenue from sports betting around a brand new stadium in Kansas would pay it off way earlier than 30 years. They have to be at like 15million in tax revenue this year alone?
In Kansas. That number will continue to grow to outrageous heights. |
