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]

Assuming a spot by the speedway would be idea? I know no one wants to even think about a new stadium, but it’s happening
You’ve got a casino and shopping and entertainment and everything the industrial park doesn’t. With enough space to build the prettiest parking lot in the world for tailgating [Reply]

Maybe Clark should go back to the drawing board and trash his rich elite plan and work on some amenities that the middle class would like to see. You know, the ones filling the stadium for years [Reply]

We're all going to be on here complaining in 10 years how the new stadium doesn't have the same atmosphere and that's kind of sad but that's how it goes with these things.
The really weird thing with the Chiefs lately is they seem to play worse at Arrowhead than other stadiums. [Reply]

You have made a lot of clown ass takes in this thread. It's made me groan a lot.

Somebody fill me in please.
Chiefs might end up in Kansas which greatly pains some Missouri folks. Who knows what happens with the royals. They might be losing 100 games a year in San Antonio in the not too distant future [Reply]

Yeah an peoples property taxes won't have gone up 200% like this years maybe they have a chance [Reply]
The owners took Kansas Citians for granted they thought they could roll out a bad plan that was lacking in pretty much every single way. They wanted billions of dollars of our money and did not even begin to do what was needed to justify it.
Kansas City is sports crazy. This should be a message to do better. Lots of no votes from people who would have voted yes if the teams had done the right thing for the community that allows it to make so much money.

Exactly.
This was a shite proposal. Just awful. And the fact that a SB championship team at the height of its popularity in this town got steamrolled shows what a shit measure this was.
If this was the best they can/will do, then Hunt threw the match. He tossed something out there he knew would fail so he could go to Legends with a PR excuse.
This lost because it should. If the Hunts want to offer a serious proposal it could actually go somewhere. [Reply]
