Is the NBA more popular than MLB now? It feels like it is. I think NBA stars are bigger stars than MLB stars. Plus NBA gets more National conversation than MLB. MLB feels very regionalized anymore unless it’s the Yankees or Red Sox. |

NBA is player driven by popularity, MLB is team driven by popularity.

For as much as people bag on attendance, the Royals have been flat terrible for the last 13 months and yet Kansas City still has among the best TV ratings in baseball. That's pretty impressive for what may be two straight 100 loss teams. There are a lot of good teams who would love to have the TV ratings the Royals do, especially considering how important TV money is now. Meanwhile, the Chiefs haven't won jack squat in 4 decades and have lost playoff games in about a dozen of the most excruciating ways ever, and fans still come out. |

It has to have something to do with its location and the fact that growth went north, south and into the Kansas Side rather than kicking out a little further east towards the sports complex. But man, it's not THAT hard a drive out there and it sure is nicer to do that than try to find somewhere to park downtown. Even metrolinks and stuff suck something awful in most cases. Going to the ballpark is just something that seems to have ever woven itself into the fabric of Kansas City. Again - I'll admit to my biases given that I wasn't alive in the 70s or remember their best years in the early/mid 80 (my memory of the Royals comes online around the beginning of the Bo Jackson era; 87 ish), but I just never recall it being the 'in thing' to go to the stadium to catch a ballgame. And that's a shame because it's a hell of a ballpark. |
