I think this is right, but I'm one who wanted the Royals downtown. Not only because baseball is a downtown sport, but it would give the TSC room to build a new dome for the Chiefs.

All that said, if I lived in JaCo I would have definitely voted yes just for the certainty of keeping both teams. Let the Royals bad stadium plan be a problem for another day.

The tying the Royals to the Chiefs really ****ed it all up, but maybe that was done on purpose by the teams playing 5D chess to get out of JACO excuse...
I guess I just don't understand why people are so willing to be perpetually taxed to in order to claim they are from their county? They are the KC Chiefs NOT the JACO Chiefs. It's not very hard or long to drive to JOCO or WYCO to watch an event, and if the State of Kansas is going to strap themselves with perpetual debt to build a stadium that I'd prefer to attend the occasional game it, good.
