well, if its true that moving the stadium downtown increases property values so much in the area, aren't they just admitting its a good idea; but they hate Keitzman so much that they dont' wanna do it just to ***** him?!

The reason I oppose downtown baseball (even though I don't live in KC) is because the big argument FOR downtown baseball, thrown about by guys like Keitzman, doesn't hold water.

Building a downtown baseball stadium isn't going to revitalize downtown long-term. All of these cities that he cites, like Cleveland for instance, had SHORT TERM revitalization, but it trailed off after the first 3 years. As did baseball attendance.
