Hey guys let's take a day and go to the Royals game and spend the night there.

Sweet sounds cool. How much?

Well the game will be about $40 a ticket for each of us. Then we will want to eat at a restaurant nearby and get some drinks so that's about another $25 for each of us. Oh and parking will be about $15. But hey we can just leave our car in the lot and pick up a cab for $15 to go our restaurant on the plaza. Oh and once in the stadium you will want to buy a couple drinks and maybe some nachos so everyone bring an extra $20 to the game.

Well I guess that's not too bad. What about the hotel?

Well that's also right in the area. We can get the Hotel Phillips for just $150 for that night. So what do you say guys? Just around $160 a person let's do it.

You serious, Clark? I just want a few drinks and a Royals game. GTFO.

And that is pretty much Saul's entire argument.

Oh and FYI, $20 won't cover a couple drinks and nachos. heh

It is quite obvious Saul wants to attract a different type of "fan" to the games. The average every day fan who usually is working on some kind of budget needs to be weeded out. Like pro sports isn't doing enough of that on their own.....

Hence why they need to encase the club level of Arrowhead in tinted glass so it isn't as embarrassing.

Yup,and none of those downtown people would want to take their kids to the games. But, who wants to drive all the way home from downtown, back home, and then right back downtown again. Then we can walk our kids through the bar district going in and coming out. That seems fun.

Hey Kietzman,

We get it. The fact that the stadium isn't downtown is stuck in your craw. However, the decision not to build a downtown stadium was made YEARS ago, and it's not going to change just because you insist upon displaying your butthurt over it. It's just plain idiotic to repetitively whine about it for 20 pages on Chiefsplanet.

While you're at it, maybe you should spend several days complaining about how the Chiefs should NEVER have drafted that turd Todd Blackledge. And maybe you should obsess about how stupid the Royals were when they traded David Cone for Ed Hearn. And can you believe the Cubs traded Lou Brock for Ernie Broglio???? And what were the Red Sox thinking when they sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees????? I don't know about you, but I'm STILL pissed about the way Cain treated Abel. That bastard!!!! Let's start a 20 page thread about it!!!!!

Those conversations would be just as relevant as your constant whining about the location of a pair of stadiums that opened in 1973, were refurbished a couple of years ago, and aren't going ANYWHERE. If you're that unhappy, move to St. Louis and shut up. You can sit in the downtown stadium there and to your heart's content.

yeah, if you drive a 100 miles that last 8 to go from downtown to the K would just be too much. Especially in that horrific KC traffic.

No, you dipshit, I'm talking about people who drive home after the game.

The number of people that drive home after the game is far larger than the number that would be staying in a hotel overnight.
