Stadium Watch 2024 -Jackson County Residents: How Are You Voting?

[Pablo]

Vote in this poll if you actually live in Jackson county.

We've all shared our opinions in the other thread. But who gives a shit what somebody in Platte County or Johnson County or Phoenix or NYC thinks. We're all just noise.

[KCUnited]

Bringin' em back to the table with a better plan

We were the engineer and surveyors for Copaken White and Blitt who built the Bannister Mall. I spent a lot of time out there when it was being built. Memories !

Are you 80 years old? Holy crap, my parents took me to Bannister to buy school clothes ( and eat at Annie’s Santa Fe. )

STAR bonds bill fails in KS Legislature tonight, btw. Wasn't even brought up. KS legislature is done until January 2025, although they will have a special session for a tax bill.

Bannister mall was the place to go to get new shoes for the school year

NEW OVERNIGHT: Kansas Legislature adjourns without taking up STAR Bond proposal meant to lure the @Chiefs or @Royals to the state.

Lawmakers may try again in January.

They did send another tax cut plan to the governor, which she is likely to veto and call a special session.

The mall opened in 1980 and Annies at that mall 1985. Me I was born in 56. I started Surveying as a entry level Rod and Chainman early in 1977 moved up fast to Instrument operator then in 85 got my first truck and crew as Party Chief. I am not eighty but feel it some days.

Might be the best thing for both franchises and the KC Metro region as a whole.

Yes. Neither ownership or even the leagues liked the Royals and Chiefs being tied together. It doesn't fit how they do business today.

I disagree that they did this just to play MO and KS against each other, they are going to sell to the sweetest deal.and it might not be KS or MO. This is how the leagues do business.

Just put the damn sliding roof over arrowhead and call it a day.

Move the Royals to the riverfront as part of the riverfront revitalization.

Putting a domed stadium in Kansas would make the whole Guinness world record dick measuring contest over the last decade seem so funny. Would definitely miss Mahomes playing in home snow games. The crowds will inevitably be much softer and they won’t be able to pack as many people in with the new handicap regulations they’ll have to follow. I wonder if you’ll be allowed to even stand on defense at the new stadium if they build it in Johnson County.

[Kiimo]

You will get enough snow games playing in Buffalo in my opinion. They inexplicably are building another stadium without a roof, just so they can get firehosed in snow every year

If they wanted it to fail why did they make Reid, Kelce, and Mahomes shill for them on social media and in commercials?

I didn't really see it as a big push. The Reid and Mahomes effort was weak at best and we all know Kelce will pimp anything for a quarter and some air time, so did they really make a big effort or did they just go through the motions?
