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]

The old sprint area would be a big ol mess but hey tailgating at Cheesecake Factory [Reply]

not a terrible idea but would be really weird for taxes. which state does the player getting paid pay taxes to? what about concessions? [Reply]

Kansas, I would think. Unless they hit a home run into Missouri. Then they would owe a prorated chunk of that game check to MO. [Reply]

So he packed up and left. And it's really sad because Dean couldn't even afford to build a stadium so now he has a LANDLORD who is a direct competitor for eyeballs in the same city and nobody gives a shit about them at all.
And the saddest thing is...it worked. The team is worth more than ever before and they actually have a good team and the San Diego fans are shit out of luck with nothing but their own righteous indignation to cheer for. They were right to tell him to shove it, he wanted to totally screw up downtown.
He also knew they would vote it down. He honestly should be dragged into the street and tarred and feathered then sent out on a barge into the Pacific Ocean.
I get this isn't a thread about the Chargers, but didn't they just pick in the top 5 in the draft a couple of months ago? [Reply]
Lol. **** both of these teams. They see the trash and the homeless and the abandoned homes as their limo driver bashes through Missouri potholes, knowing that they are leaving a deficit. They know every dollar they make is another dollar that a small local business doesn't get. And then they threaten to leave because we haven't given them enough? They should be ashamed.
And the self righteous, demeaning, vote yes trolls can go drink MO river water.
Speaking of The Current, anyone here enjoyed the "parking" situation at a match yet? 5 minutes into that experience and you would vote no the rest of your life.
And there you heard it from Frank. He's not going to endorse a deal where the city loses money to billionaires for the next 40 years. You Frank haters need to check the real reasons why you really hate him and also stop the love affair for the billionaires on welfare. [Reply]
I really don't understand how pointing out sports owners are billionaire changes the situation. Do you guys create and watch your own produced puppet shows to avoid giving the Hollywood billionaires any money? Do you just starve to avoid giving the farming billionaires money or raise your own food out back?
If you don't want to pay the tax, fine, but I don't see how Clark being a billionaire is that big of a point. [Reply]

Goodness you are miserable. Do you ever think or post anything positive?
Stadiums keep teams in an area and sports teams are a source of civic pride. That’s why when they win a championship you see huge parades. Fans cheer them on and celebrate despite them being owned by billionaires and residents paying to help fund stadiums. [Reply]

Because billions = can pay for it himself.
Didn't finish the math because I was done with the shitter, but when I likened the loan Verizon took out to acquire Vodafone to the hypothetical deal Clark would have to make in order to finance a stadium himself, it wasn't anywhere near the amount needed to build a "sufficient" stadium. [Reply]

I think the "civic pride" is kinda overlooked when the city infrastructure is falling apart? [Reply]
