So what is Franks goal? I'm not from KC so I don't know anything about the politics of this.

Does Frank White really want to be the guy who sent the Chiefs and Royals away?
Over a simple vote to maintain the status quo? |

However, I have said many times, and it pisses people off, but I won't vote for anything that doesn't include covering whatever stadium with a roof, preferably a retractable roof. |

I am thinking about the community and not Twisted's precious game day experience.
A stadium with a retractable roof would result in millions of dollars every year for the small businesses in and around Jackson County. More concerts, a Final Four, and all types of events that we either don't get, or barely get because we don't have a place for it. ****. I would be absolutely OK if they use the plans for Arrowhead, made "renovations" from the jump, and just get a roof on it. |

At least when they move to Kansas it will finally end all confusion to the rest of the world as to which state they actually play in

Frank White is secretly employed by the state of Kansas.

First and foremost-
I loved frank White when he was a Royal. Past that he is a bit of a dimwit. I loved cookie rojas as well but ain't no scenario on earth I want him in politcs. George Brett (and his statue) hell yes. If the Hunts tell Jackson County/Raytown to pound sand and decide to build a new version of Arrowhead 2. I applaud it. I do not give two hoots what side of the river the new stadium is located. I am thinking anyone outside of Jackson County feels the same. The are THE KANSAS City Chiefs. It Dont say MO and it don't say Ray. There are 4 or 5 or 6 other counties in the metro area that probably will welcome the stadium. Let the market decide. Sincerely, A guy who lives close to what is soon to be the Aurora Broncos and a fan of seeing what Arrowhead 2 would look like, sans the GEHA. |

“Let the market decide” is pretty confounded when it involves taxpayers funding a stadium.

A county/development district could structure it 1000 different ways without a direct tax increase to it's citizens. I am not for public funding of this kind of thing via tax increase but am wide open to incentives. |

Speaking of Baseball.
The biggest mistake they made out here when they built Coors Field downtown was the number of seat they (added) squeezed into that location after the original design. It should 2/3 the size it is. It is 70% empty most games similar to Kauffman. If the Royals move downtown the stadium should hold no more than 35000. Keep it small and intimate. |

I have lived in JoCo most of my life, and I think that all of the counties in KC(in both states) should chip in and pay for it. We all benefit from it whether it be monetary or for entertainment. I also 100 percent agree on a retractable roof. It would be great for the city to pull in things like the F4.
The Chiefs continue to make this city relevant and proud, so JoCo add the sales tax. |
