Vote in this poll if you actually live in Jackson county.
We've all shared our opinions in the other thread. But who gives a shit what somebody in Platte County or Johnson County or Phoenix or NYC thinks. We're all just noise. [Reply]
My reading of Mayor Q today: Royals go ahead and negotiate with Kansas, because we know that you want to be downtown and aren't particularly worried about you going there.
This morning it was revealed on Pete Mundo's show that the KS STAR bond in the upcoming legislative session is going to be ~$700 million for the Chiefs. That means the teams will have to pay a huge $ amount on their own. For comparison, The April 2 Question was Chiefs contributing about $300 million with Jackson Co. giving ~$1 billion over 40 years.

Maybe because I moved a lot growing up or went to school on State Line, but I can't do the whole Missouri v. Kansas thing. Kansas City's really one place, as all who live here know. We'll grow together long term and decline if we can't figure out how to grow the regional pie.

Like, if the STAR bonds are really that easy shouldn't they be drafting a competitive bid RIGHT NOW?
Instead he's saying things like we're all one and changing his hashtag from #KCMO to #KansasCity. It's all ONELOVE, now that you've lost.
I don't live in Kansas but it certainly is funny how his message is angling to be like somehow it's a victory that the Chiefs stay in the metro area, no thanks to him.
Yall lost the Chiefs and you're taking a victory lap. Third NFL team to leave the state. It should be humiliating for him and his cabinet. But he drove in KCK this weekend, so it's all good! [Reply]

Missouri doesn’t have STAR bonds. They would need to first legislate them into existence. [Reply]
If it does end up at Legends imagine being a student at KU and you can drive 28 minutes down I-70 to go to the Chiefs game on Sunday and then just drive back. It would be incredible. I bet they'll have shuttles so people don't drink and drive. I'm jealous of young people just thinking about it. That bus would be LIT [Reply]

well he is only the Mayor of Kansas City, Missouri and not Kansas City, Kansas. If he doesn't realize what Platte County missed out on by allowing the racetrack to end up in Kansas then maybe it's time for him to move on and let someone else do the job. [Reply]
Mahomes will turn 36 the new stadium's first season. The fan base could be really spoiled and new stadium prices could be eye widening expensive. I hope Missouri doesn't want to follow the STAR bound model [Reply]
He's a piece of shit who doesn't want his reputation tarnish by a dog fight, or really anything at all.
The racetrack, the American Royal, the Chiefs, the Royals, the lost tax income. Someone should tally up all the jobs and income loss over this full process just to put it all into perspective. Even if you're on the side of not paying for anything, he's a ****ing idiot for taking this stance. He's a mayor in Missouri, not a Mayor of some made up territory that crosses state lines.
He'll end up using this bullshit "regional" thing in a future campaign to make it look like he didn't take a fat L. He'll pack his bags and relocate anywhere he needs to if he can get a seat in DC. You can already hear the, "Back in KC we worked across all lines to make sure the whole region grew. Elect me and I'll make sure we do the same here in ....." [Reply]

Not true. It could be as early as 2027 or 2028 for a new stadium. Breaking the lease at TSC is not expensive. If a deal is struck soon you can bet there will be dirt moved very quickly. [Reply]

Sounds like a pipe dream.
They couldn't even get the AR complex rolled out correctly. [Reply]
