John Sherman's Wife Makes Stunning Declaration on Royals/Chiefs Future

[T-post Tom]

In comments under a public Facebook post, Marny Sherman said, "Unfortunately neither team will work with Jackson County again. The lack of leadership has lost the city two treasured assets."

Not a good look for an owner’s wife imho. Didn’t realize that she was also a spokesperson for the Hunt family.

"Unfortunately neither team will work with Jackson County again," wrote the wife of Royals owner John Sherman in a Facebook comment. https://t.co/Kd5o8mCTu8

3. Build a concert facility further away from Arrowhead that shares the parking lot. This way it becomes the Truman Sports and Entertainment Complex.

4. Allow a few hotels to be built there as well.

5. During summer they can do car shows, carnivals, flea markets and plenty of other events during summer months when there is no football to maximize the property.

Any downside to this?

Truman Sports Complex is still in a shit location.

Put it in the stadium like BetMGM and State Farm

Yes, but so is every casino in town when they were built. The casinos didn't give those areas a facelift, but people still come and definitely attend concerts and shows there.

TBH, I wonder if they would get any action, since if sports betting is legal, would people just use their phones?

Its like a casino sports book so viewing, bar/restaurant, open 365. So an option for people not interested in tailgating but want something to do before the game

The BetMGM Sportsbook at State Farm Stadium is now open and located just steps from the North end of the Great Lawn. The 17,000 square foot venue is the first sportsbook in NFL history and combines the energy and viewing options of a state-of the-art sportsbook with all the amenities of a world-class sports bar and grill. The sportsbook features a 265 square-foot video wall, over 35 high-definition televisions as well as offers both indoor and outdoor dining options. Sports fans and bettors can conveniently choose their preferred wagering method as the space features five traditional sports betting windows and an additional 27 user-friendly self-service betting kiosks.

Open 365 days a year! Game day reservations are encouraged and conveniently accessible to reserve online.

Those unrepaired potholes will remain if a football team is there or not.

I'll check that out...I wonder how much of a cut the Cardinals get? I wonder how hard it would be for Hunt Midwest to get a gaming license.

So I've been to Arrowhead, but it has been a while.

How viable is it really trying to develop hotels, concerts, flea markets in that area?

Or is this my answer?

It's just a bad area for development. If it had any real value, it would have been done in the past 50 years.

Would be a great spot for an Amazon distribution center or something of the like though.

It is viable for events and concerts...would you rather travel to Bonner SPings for an outdoor concert or a revamped Kaufmann (if you're in Shawnee, I get it). Would you prefer to go to a casino on the riverfront on the Randoph/Birmingham strip, or TSC? All the locations suck, but people have contninued to go for a quarter century. Hotels would not be viable without gambling imho.

Option 1 and 2 and maybe even 3 will want taxpayer money to fund them.

Well if taxpayers are putting up enough money, I suppose that could eventually change the calculation.

But as a concert/event developer, isn't the question usually what is the best site I can find? Not is this site slightly more viable than some other site...

All the locations suck for stadiums? Or there are no possible new locations for events and concerts that don't suck?

[Pablo]

So the Chiefs are gonna build an entertainment district at TSC or somewhere in KCMO proper with a sports book and all that fun stuff...

While people like myself that want to place bets still have to drive to Kansas to do so because MO house of reps is full of bumble****s that can't get a bill cleared despite hemorrhaging money to KS. Kinda like those dipshits in KS losing all that sweet weed money to MO. Diff sides of the same coin

Why not start this thing out in say Kansas, at the Legends?? Where you can already build a sportsbook into the stadium and they've got Hollywood Casino right there who's partnered with one of the major books?
