There is no way this doesn't pass. It's no extra money, so all that's happening is instead of paying for the upkeep of a stadium in Raytown you're paying for a brand new ballpark in down town KC and getting all kinds of new businesses along with it. Don't really see the down side, besides I guess some people might have to walk a little further.

If you don’t go watch the women’s soccer games and pay for the parking its probably because you’re sexist tbh

The soccer stadium does look cool coming across the river. So it’s got that going for it

crossroads spot makes too much sense. way more attendance in this location. tons of extra people who might go early/stay late to hang downtown or crossroads. tons of new jobs to take care of all the additional spenders which increases tax revenues for the city. extra money made by royals increases payroll so we field competitive teams that increases attendances even further.
if people are against crossroads location, they hate our city. |

also i get if people are against bc they don't like subsidizing billionaires in general. and i get it if you don't like this spot bc of personal reasons. was being hyperbolic in original post - just meant they'd be prioritizing personal stuff over the greater good of the city/community. which everybody does.

you prefer locations that give our city fewer jobs and less tax revenues for city programs? why? crossroads location would undoubtedly be better overall for the city.

dude explain why you are laughing? kansas city karens are the worst. no new airport, no public transportation, all i do is cry about parking/traffic. royals would kill at this spot and make way more tax revenue and help for the city. but nooo i'm so mad at how this will take away my favorite bar that opened up a year ago and will go away next year!!!
i love the diverseness/indie spirit of the crossroads as much as the next guy. and maybe a little bit of this goes away but it will really benefit all the breweries and the good local spots. will be way better for KC if this goes through. |

Again we haven't even seen a rendering of Arrowhead and that's just the tip of the ice berg. Very little details have been released and we vote again. This can fail and they can come back with an actual plan and vote again. Just like they did with the stadium renovations over 15 years ago |

The integration with the south loop park that was planned before this announcement is legitimately exciting. We'll see if that thing gets kicked into turbo if this passes. 2026 WC was thrown out originally when that was proposed.
