What did MO do to keep them? Not just Frank and JACO, but what did Jeff City do to keep the Chiefs and Royals in MO?

Or you could, you know, not have prime seats. I'm in section 303 and it's just fine. And I'm sure I don't pay anywhere near what they do in 124.

How could this possibly be confusing?

The initial proposal in the first place was a damn near billion dollar renovation that was almost exclusively catered to generating revenue from the top 1% of fans.

The only chance they gave Jackson County that would've kept them at Arrowhead was tied to an awful Royals proposal that had crucial aspects being repeatedly changed until almost the day of the vote and had a significant groundswell of opposition towards it. They're now publicly stating their intentions of securing a new 2 billion+ stadium deal.

They've let the standard of the current facilities deteriorate to the point players voted Clark Hunt the worst owner in the league.

It's pretty blatantly obvious what the intentions of the Chiefs is here.

Yeah, I agree. I'm not a cold weather person but I do like snow games.

100% with you, we actually found that up high near the Ford zone in the summer was not only close to awesome vendors and seating, it was in the shade and the people were very cool. During the winter we'd find something in the sun and pray for sunny weather.

we should build a dome because we never know if the earth's axis could shift and we become a tundra climate

I don't think anybody is genuinely confused, and it takes a real JACO loyalist to think the teams have to stay in JACO to remain their fan. Add to it that MO never offers to help JACO like I've heard they did help St. Louis (I have nothing to prove that tho), it's hardly a surprise that when it's an entire state vs one county in another state the county will either lose or go broke out-bidding an entire state.

Perhaps the MO Governor should be asked what his thoughts are on the topic of MO losing its red-hot NFL team, and potentially its MLB team. It's not like MO couldn't crush KS if Jeff City wanted to, but we know Jeff City pretty-much limits their love to the St. Louis area. I've lived in MO for ~25 years, was told this when we first moved here, and it's pretty-much proven to be true.

I don't disagree at all, but that's the reality of having/keeping these teams. Other locales are more than willing to make such an investment.

If we can get KS to fund it, that's awesome, it's a win-win. Who loses and what exactly do they lose that matters?

And it's 81,700 square mile Kansas vs 604 square mile JACO; not really a fair fight IMO. Hey, if the Kansans want to fund the Chiefs current wet dream dome I'll be more than happy to drive over there for some games in it.

Passed the KS House with a super majority. On to the KS Senate. The state, THE STATE, would own 70% of it, meanwhile the MO government is doing nothing. Pretty telling...

And it was pretty interesting hearing one of the KS congressmen saying that, "MO is famous for losing professional sports teams", then named the Rams and the Scouts. Its the difference between a state that's hungry to gain another state's team(s) and a state's more than willing to lose the team.

Any MO resident who is unhappy with all this needs to understand this and perhaps understand that Jeff City is as much to blame here as Frank White.

Do state governments usually do much for this kind of thing? In Missouri it's a challenge because there are 2 major metros, and several other decent size. St. Louis doesn't give a rat's ass about keeping the Chiefs.

There is ****ing nothing in Kansas. All they have is the part of Kansas that is a bleed-over from Missouri. That's their best opportunity to grow. Kudos to them for being opportunistic.

I seem to recall people saying the Jeff City did get involved in getting the Cards what they were looking for, so if that's correct, perhaps it' not unprecedented. But I agree, Jeff City isn't going to help the KC metro area, that's pretty clear, so people need to direct their anger to the right places because KS is always willing to pick-away any/all businesses from the KC Missouri side, and Jeff City let's it happen. It is what it is, it's not worth getting mad about because I don't think it'll suddenly change soon enough to change this move, but at least it will be a short ride to KS to enjoy the occasional dead-cold winter game in a T-shirt once you're inside. Paid for by the state's people.

And no, Jeff City won't ever wake up and decide to compete with Kansas. This keeps the Kansans very happy. Maybe Mayor Q could blast the Governor and Jeff City with a rant and see if we can get the Governor to step away from the buffet.

Looks like it was, but not very much...

It sounds like the tax payers in Carolina are about to be threatened with moving the Panthers after polling revealed their thoughts on potentially handing over millions of dollars.
