He's definitely left the door wide open here.

Not to defend Frank, I think he's an asshole, but he did try to work with both teams, they just were dead set against offering anything close to concrete plans and were pretty-much asking for blind faith. You were here, you saw the last minute shit the teams pulled, it was crap, and it could be argued that it was done to either get a blank check from JACO or take-up the State of Kansas on their willingness to approach these business deals as a state instead of a county. JACO and Frank were doomed from the start because of how MI's legislature is so hands off. It's why the Kansas dude is right, MO's approach to Pro teams is why our teams are easy pickings for neighboring states.
