If there was a plan out there for a downtown stadium, one that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg, and would produce enough revenue to make the Royals competitive, then I would be all for it.

But you don't see that. All we hear is squawking about a downtown baseball stadium from radio talking heads, when there's no plan out there or anything. We're supposed to reject something that seems pretty good and will lock the teams in for years to come, because of something else that maybe could happen, but there are no plans working right now for?

Screw that.
