Could this really be true with the Chiefs ?
-
Could this be seriously happening? Supposedly Soren Petro just came out and said the Chiefs are having a meeting in Topeka Monday but the Royals aren't and after the meeting unless some big screw up they will announce they will be building a new domed stadium by legends and a practice facility by K-10,- -Is this for real, almost sounds like it.
-
Yeah the rumor is LCC is going to approve a STAR bond package for the Chiefs. The state is getting totally scammed here (STAR bonds have gone through two audits, failed them both miserably, plus the absolute dearth of evidence that stadiums provide much economic impact) but Masterson really wants this “accomplishment” since he’s running for governor.
-
So isn't the Legends by I-70 and so why would the practice facility be off k-10. I heard the royals are coming to KS too. Rumor? Can't stand masterson and the businesses around legends don't want the Chiefs up there. Traffic and drinking and driving.
-
@crimsonblu22 what I read about the Royals was they were coming but whatever it is they need to take care of they wouldn't have it done this year. I guess they had some kind of dead line of Dec 31st I am not sure on the Royals 100 % it's crazy
-
@crimsonblu22 found out that the practice field will be South of the Soccer fields at K-10 and Ridgeway

@FarmerJayhawk I think Gov. Kelly is going to get full credit (or blame, long after she's gone) for pulling this off, not Masterson. I'm trying to imagine that idiot Masterson (or Brownback in the past) being mathematically literate enough to figure out a finance scheme that would lure one more nickel of investment into the state, let alone having the competence to keep their big mouths shut while they pull it off. I can't.
I'm just glad both teams will still be in the KC metro.
-
@DanR which would be very dumb since the legislature spearheaded the effort and passed the actual bonding authority. The border war continued long into Brownback’s first term, which got to the point where both sides (and people including Laura Kelly) were like yeah this has to stop.
