Businesses buy season tickets. When there is a day game in Saint Louis, half the people there are using company tickets. It's not as appealing to drive out to ****ing Raytown as it is to walk across the street, and it's sure as shit not as appealing to drink Sprite at Denny's afterwards as it is to down Sapphire and tonics on a rooftop bar fifty stories up across the street from Busch Stadium.

It blows my mind that people actually think that the Truman Sports Complex is as good of a place for a baseball stadium as downtown next to the Kauffman Center.

This is why Kansas City has an airport just south of Des Moines, a city council that gets into flame wars with its mayor (even though they belong to the same political party), and schools that can't seem to hang on to their accreditation for longer than a Kardashian can stay married.

Keep in mind people on this board think building arenas and polishing turd stadiums is more important than improving schools and 100 year old sewers.

It's common sense downtown has more people and more stuff to do. You wouldn't see 10k at the K on a Tuesday night if the stadium were built downtown.

You might actually see less considering there are more things to do rather watch a losing ball club.
