I didn't argue that. There's benefits to having the teams though and the teams won't be here without the stadiums. I won't fight anyone who claims that the owners should pay for their own stadiums. Unfortunately in the world we live in, either Jackson County pays for it or some other county in some other city will pay for it. If you don't want to pay the tax then more power to you and that's your right as a citizen to vote that way. You just also have to consider when you're voting that way how much the Kansas City Royals being the Kansas City Royals and not, say, the Nashville Royals means to you. |

The Bills could win the next four Super Bowls and Buffalo would still be an economically depressed town with almost zero hope of ever being revived back into a thriving metropolitan area.
Kansas City will either thrive or decline irrespective of a downtown sports team and whether or not it's a successful franchise. |

The old people who vote are probably Cardinals fans. The future would probably be a soccer stadium. Sadly, do not care

It's a well-done video. Detailed, professionally presented.
Didn't change my vote, though.

Government will piss tax money away on something worst. Hell we are all posting on this board because of government paying for a stadium.

I overlaid, to scale, every downtown stadium in baseball on that proposed footprint to keep Oak St. open and none of them fit.
None of them. Not even Oriole Park, which is basically built to avoid Camden Yards the same way this stadium would be built to avoid Oak St. What that tells me is that the Royals are willing to say whatever it takes to get this vote to pass, and they'll let the architecture firm figure it out later. What it also says is that the renderings you think you're voting on are not anywhere close to what will actually be built.
