Could this really be true with the Chiefs ?

@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 Brownbackâs first term, which got to the point where both sides (and people including Laura Kelly) were like yeah this has to stop.

Chiefs will be playing on the Kansas side starting in 2031.- - -estimated ONE BILLION money every year, Hunt said he was excited to partner with Kansas
-
Oh great, now that the Chiefs are bottom dwellers with the Raiders, the plan is to move to Kansas. Thanks Missouri Chiefs for all the great memories of success and super bowls. If the move is in 2031, I can't even imagine who will be coaching and playing for my favorite team.

The whole STAR bond district (at least what weâve been shown) is the entirety of Wyandotte and like half of JoCo. So thatâs the only way the math works, to tax basically the whole Kansas side of the metro. Which is a hell of a bait and switch. Theyâve been saying all along well if you donât use the stadium or right around it you wouldnât pay a dime. Turns out they were full of shit the entire time.
-
This move will not affect one single player or coaching staff member. In 5 years they will all be retired or relocated to different teams

Wait, what? I thought the STAR bonds were from future revenue from the stadium and surrounding businesses? Privy info or is there a map out there?
I've read about these STAR bonds in the past. nothing sounds legit, but they are popular.

Indiana Bears anyone? Literally less than 2 miles from my house is a site being tested right now. Ugh, just awful. Our town doesn't have the infrastructure nor does Chicago going south to get lots of people in for a football game.

@rockchalkjayhawk Read about the this deal will make over four billion not sure over what period of time & one Billion yearly going to create over 20,000 jobs-- that has to be a positive

There had been quite a bit of uproar over it from what Iâve seen. Missouri should be happy they are moving a few miles over state lines unlike the Rams moving across the country. Every major city in Missouri is right on the state line whether it be Branson, KC or St. Louis even early settlers donât want to be in the state anymore than they had to. I get it stinks to lose arrowhead but I took I private tour of that place a few summers ago, it is very dated in several areas and they are jammed in their super hard. On the player surveys they rank as one of the worst in facilities every year. I thinks itâs wild people act like they wonât have tailgating at the new place. The atmosphere and tailgating experience are created by the fans.
