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]
Nate Taylor, who is as close to the Chiefs as any writer in sports, does not believe the Chiefs will be quick to come back to the table with Jackson County.
"I think we all need to get used to the fact that the Chiefs could be playing in Kansas in a decade or less."
You can doubt Nate, but I have yet to hear an argument for why they should WANT to come back to the table. It was contentious with county leadership in the first place, and then they lost the vote by 16 points. That's a HUGE chasm to cross.
Is there any argument other than "they love Arrowhead" that gives them an actual good reason why Jackson County should be their main priority moving forward? What else is that spot bringing to the table? [Reply]

Yep, I hate it, but they were indifferent to this passing or failing. Knowing the path they would then take either way. With it failing they gained public denouncement for leaving Arrowhead and can blame it on the voters. Like it or not, they won't be wrong. [Reply]

Bigger players will be involved other than Jackson County with regards to keeping the Chiefs in KC [Reply]

Yep, the team is now a free agent. I hope they will at least stay in the KC metro area, but it all comes down to the most lucrative offer. [Reply]

Other than Arrowhead being Arrowhead, there really isn't any reason to stay where they are when they can use the dynasty they have to get everything they want. [Reply]
Just heard an interview on 610 with some politician (not he mayor, not Frank White). There's talk of getting something on the ballot in August. Also talk of splitting up questions so the Chiefs can get their answer independent of the Royals. [Reply]

No they aren't they still have a 7 year lease it would cost atleast half a billion to move [Reply]

I kinda think they will. Jackson County didn't get a chance to vote on just Arrowhead. The Royals downtown stadium proposal was the controversial aspect here. I don't get why these two teams from completely different sports and leagues should be voted on as if they are joined at the hip. [Reply]

If they come back to the table without the Royals? [Reply]
