All this hype about them moving is coming from fans, which isn't realistic because it's not just Sherman, the Royals have a huge ownership group and almost all of them are KC locals with big money. The Chiefs have the ownership group that lives in Texas and have basically become an international brand with Mahomes and Kelce and Taylor Swift. They can do literally anything they want at this point and no one can stop them. I don't think either team is moving though. They didn't do a good job here but you also have to realize Frank White fought them uphill every bit of the way. I 100% think they're going to make an attempt to build new stadiums in the KC area with government agencies that are on their side and actively trying to help them come up with and sell a better plan. I think the vote wasn't for the teams to move, but I think it was the end of the Truman Sports Complex. |

Maybe Jackson County voters don't mind a 3/8th cent sales tax as long as the financial details are provided and we're shown what the funds can and cannot be spent on. |

They spent more money than almost anyone not named the Dodgers this offseason and gave their star player a 14 year contract.

Here's what the Royals are battling with JACO voters other than the above. Most people love Kauffman Stadium and don't see any reason for it to change....yet. The Royals want it downtown because it's around more people/businesses etc. They want a piece of that downtown pie. They just didn't have any plan, didn't even know the location. How do you expect people to vote yes to something as big a deal as building a downtown stadium and not have any real clear plan, no transparency etc? Royals should've been more prepared. |

So maybe they should wait 2-3 years and prove that they'll keep it up. We've had other BWJrs around here so they need to stack the team with proven top-shelf pitchers and "could go yard with any swing" hitters, compete for the ALCS for 2-3 years, then ask for a handout. Beyond that the people of JACO aren't falling for their bullshit in a league where pitching and hitting is king.

The whole, "Well the teams' didn't have a plan / half-assed" thing is a cop-out.
