You promise? That makes me feel so much better about it then.

Chicago Cubs, 33-52, last place, 8th in MLB in attendance with 37,522 fans per game which is 91.2% of capacity.

Chicago White Sox, 47-38, 25th in attendance with 23,091 per, 56.9% capacity.

I guess Chicago has more people than Chicago.

Like building a new stadium downtown won't do that?

What does that mean?

That makes no sense. You are just being ridiculous now.

We spent the money anyway, and we got a couple of stadium bars and a carousel. We could have at least built one near all those fancy bars the city is paying for. Maybe people would spend some of their money before and after the games in Kansas City instead of Johnson County.

Seems like all of Saul's arguments hinge around his ability to indulge his craving for alcohol. There is no shortage of alcohol in Kauffman Stadium. And Budweiser will even give your best pal a T-shirt if he volunteers to be your designated driver. So cheer up, Saul. Just get a tee totaler as a wing man, and you're good to go.

WE spent the money? What part of Jackson County do you live in? May I see your property tax receipt please?

But didn't you just say that the Cubs draw more fans than the Royals because the city is bigger? Why, then, do you think the Cubs, a last place team who last won the World Series during the Roosevelt administration, Teddy Roosevelt, nearly double up the first place Sox?

Here is Comiskey. Note that it is surrounded by parking lots.

Here is Wrigley. Note that there are dozens of bars where a giant parking lot would logically be.

That's a pic of Old Comiskey, Saul.

And the Cubs are by far more popular than the White Sox in Chicago.

What does property tax have to do with anything? Never mind. You don't even know what you're talking about.

I just wanted to see proof of your Jackson County residency. I wanted to see how you helped pay to build the stadium, and with the subsequent renovation.

The Cell was built across the street.

The Cubs are more popular because Cubs games are events what with the stadium being built in the middle of an entertainment district and all.

I don't live in Jackson County. I live in Johnson County. Since this was funded by property taxes, that makes a difference...

Oh wait...it was funded by a sales tax increase? You don't say...I guess you're just talking out your ass and hoping that nobody will notice.

Look at how much bigger that city is. Also if you want to talk about revenue,what about parking fees. Do those downtown stadiums get to charge for parking? If not that is a huge blow to the money coming in.

This whole thing is stupid anyways. Nobody has said it would be a bad idea to have a stadium downtown, just that they don't mind where it is currently at.
