Suddenly they change the plans.....now Oak street will be open...
Perhaps the worst PR effort ever in the history of politics This has every sign of failure and desperation by the pro forces and the Mayor is in hiding cause he knows the stain of failure will be on him Today, the Committee to Keep the Chiefs and Royals in Jackson County released the following statement from Kansas City Royals Chairman and CEO John Sherman about the Crossroads ballpark proposal and the development around Oak Street: “I want to thank Mayor Quinton Lucas for his leadership and tireless advocacy as we work to make the best possible ballpark district in downtown Kansas City,” said John Sherman, Chairman and CEO of the Kansas City Royals. “We have been listening to members of the Crossroads community and had thoughtful conversations with the Mayor and City Council to improve the ballpark district impact. Through these conversations we have come to realize the importance of keeping Oak Street open. We acknowledge Oak Street is an integral part of the downtown experience, and therefore we agree to change the ballpark district design to keep Oak Street open. We look forward to working with the Mayor and City Council to begin this joint effort.” So they really dont have a real solid plan at all

I'm sure The Pitch (do they even exist still?) or some other publication really wanting the Royals to be downtown could find 3rd party sources who completely agree with the economic boost theory, or at least agree enough... don't you think? And I'm not even voting on it, obviously... if the Royals moved to Kansas, I'd give no ****s. If they moved away, it would be sad, but not life altering for myself at all..... and even on top of that, I'd lean towards agreeing the economic boost is overblown by the Royals, if not made up..... I'm just finding it amusing how you'd be bending over backwards to discredit such a piece if you disagreed with it, but this is 100% legit right here.

Just pretend that they're climate change experts or CDC immunologists. You should have no problem ignoring them then.

They've said any amount over the initial estimate would be paid out of their own pockets. It'd be a publicity nightmare if they went back on that and they know it.

There is absolutely no way this vote doesn't pass.
It's a done deal...because the Chiefs are also involved. Might not pass if it was Royals because nobody cares about the Royals. But Chiefs have Mahomes and Kelce in on marketing for this. It is passing.

Who the **** gives a shit if they slightly modify their plans for Oak Street... isn't that a good thing?
Start building and block Oak St: OMG why didn't they think about this?!? Change a plan after looking at it: OMG, what a mess! ...I'd love a job in an industry where projects never change course, even a tiny bit, lmk.

It takes a lot of nerve for an organization as terrible as the Royals to ask for taxpayer dollars to be used to build a home for their shitty team.

If revitalization is truly a goal then they picked the exact wrong spot to put the new stadium. |

Economic transparency has been a problem all along. It is believed that the royals are well short after paying off their current debt and paying interest in new construction and will be asking Missouri taxpayers for another 700 million in addition to the tax.
