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]

He’s the best thing that station has going. Glad to hear he didn’t go down shilling and admitted it was a bad plan [Reply]

If the Royals would have hammered on the good things, rather than say "If you don't do this we will leave", then they probably would have done a lot better on the ballot. [Reply]

so obtuse... Do you think the Hunts and Chiefs haven't been good for KC. Do you think Billionaires don't have huge payrolls and provide benefits? [Reply]

He'd seen/ been told about the polls (possibly responses to his show over electronic media), stuck his finger inta the wind, and shifted gears. [Reply]

You might prefer to see 7 more midrise “luxury “ apartments where businesses currently sit but obviously the voters didn’t
What will be altered in the district that you want to keep? [Reply]
I haven't been following this for very long but the Chiefs aren't leaving KC, they'll build a big shiny stadium with a roof in Kansas and have Super Bowls there. And let's all hope we're alive long enough to enjoy it.
People at that time will have forgotten that some Raytown diehards swore they'd never attend and say I miss old Arrowhead and children will say what's that, just like I did about Municipal Stadium, wherever the hell that was.
The Royals that's a different story but maybe they should go back and figure out a better plan. [Reply]

I really think it had a shot to become a Lambeau esque iconic venue that fans could enjoy for generations. It's such a cool place.
The idea of replacing it with another bland corporate monstrosity out by the racetrack that Clark (or whatever Hunt owns the team at that point) will declare outdated 25 years after it's build is just sad to think about.
You’ve been a Chiefs fan for 5 years. How do you possibly claim to have such attachment to Arrowhead?
I keep seeing you post in different threads about things you’re utterly clueless about. Is there no end? [Reply]

It's called capitalism... The poorest in America would be the richest in about 75% of the world...
But hey, be jealous of other success as you bitch about people that have created wealth for themselves while providing jobs, services and innovations to millions... [Reply]
