They probably messed up by trying to tie the Royals’ deal to the Chiefs Arrowhead improvements. And I also heard the Royals had some wild land use asks.

In any event, good for those taxpayers. It’s nice to see one of these boondoggles voted down.

boondoggle?? lol

this is the start of both of those teams moving to Kansas ..

I think baseball has real challenges in the current sports landscape. It is seen as a slow moving game that draws old men.

The Baltimore Orioles just struck a deal to sell for $1.725 billion. A team in a top 10 area, when you consider the DMV. Playing in one of the iconic stadiums of the last 50 years. Yet they went begging for an owner for years, and the Washington Nationals finally gave up trying to find an owner.

The Oakland Athletics are embarrassing the game through their incompetent search for a new stadium, which has zero chance of happening in the current Las Vegas scenario. This after exposing their financial weakness in their attempts to get a new stadium in Oakland.

The Royals are the weak link in the KC vote, IMO. There is nothing smaller than a small market team in MLB.

All these teams that want multi billion stadiums, yet aren’t worth half of what the Thunder could sell for in 2026.

almost non of this is accurate ..

the orioles were not going to be sold until after the owner died ... that is what happened ..

Why are we comparing Kansas City to OKC? Kansas has 2 states they can plunder and pillage for funds. With one saying "no" the other will open their pockets. OKC doesn't have that.

I hate when people on here try to trivialize each and every stadium or arena situation to the one OKC was in, and make them all out to be the same. "See, if KC can do it, why shouldn't OKC"?

Nostradoofuses all around.

Here we go again...

Same poster, as well.

Except this time, he basically called OKC stupid, since we couldn't vote against our team owners' best interests.

So all those stories I have been reading in the Washington Post online edition over the last 8 years regarding Peter Angelos declining health and dementia; family squabbles about team control and sale; negotiations with different potential buyers; frustration at no bidders close to $3 billion; fights with the Washington Nationals over MASN revenue split; how the Lerner family has been trying to sell the Nationals for 3 years and finally gave up? None of those are true?

All those stories on ESPN and Las Vegas Review-Journal sites about John Fisher in Oakland pitching multi-billion dollar developments, getting the city to go along, and then backing out when it comes time to put up financially? How the owner of the Las Vegas site where the recently shuttered Tropicana sits on, Bally's gaming, doesn't have the money to finish their Chicago location; has no funding plan lined up for Tropicana replacement; the portion of the Tropicana site set aside for the baseball park is an impossibly small 9 acres; how there is no funding in place for the stadium other than the Nevada State commitment of $380 million?

All I know is that I demand to make this all about my politics.

This KC story makes me really glad OKC’s vote passed and we don’t have to deal with that.

Time to move on. Votes over

He rarely misses a chance.

Your politics? How dare you. This should be all about MY politics.
