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.

Teams are not going to spend millions of dollars on detailed stadium plans until they know whether not the revenue is there. Royals wanted to build a cowtown stadium. There was a conception plan on how it would look. What else do you need? This vote was about whether the Royals should build downtown or not. The last minute shit from the Chiefs was like "oh wait, what are you guys doing with the money." It was never about them, but it sure determined a course for the future.
