Or he has a bonus due next week that he can collect if he doesn't 'formally' retire until then.
Ton of parking is all Kaufman has going for it. Not a restaurant or bar within 10 minutes that you would feel comfortable going to, and better hope your car doesn’t break down on the way home. It’s not so much having a downtown stadium (which I would prefer personally) it’s having it closer to the population center if you want people to go to 20-30 games/year. I’d say I’m the prototypical KC royals fan that lives in JoCo- and it’s a hassle to get to stadium for a weekday game - only how I’m going is for a few weekend games/year. An Uber is an absolute pain in the ass and there’s zero public transportation. I’d likely go to 15-20 games a year if stadium was downtown, or on other side of the metro. Plus that ‘ton of parking’ at Kauffman is 25/game (often more than the game) ; at least downtown I can get an Uber for that or snag street parking that is not an option currently.
For the chiefs it’s different because the game is the entire day. The parking is needed and necessary and it’s completely fine where it’s at.
How we feeling about the game today? Tough to think Mahomes won't carry this team to the Super Bowl again, but I am a biased Chiefs fan. Defense going to have to make a couple plays today. Secondary hopefully holds up somewhat.
Go Chiefs!
Go Chiefs!
What are you going to do in a layover? Use the bathroom, get some fast food and maybe a drink or two. What more do you need? Sure, is not Orlando with a mall inside, or slot machines like Vegas, but it's an airport, kind of bland, lots of concrete wall's kind of like Hilton, but it does the job it's supposed to do.
Agreed. Chiefs should never move as the pre-game entertainment is the tailgating itself.
There is a lot of momentum for the Royals to go downtown and take advantage of the P&L district and upcoming streetcar expansions. Give people pre-game and post-game entertainment. But Kauffman is a beautiful stadium and I would be happy if it stayed.
Chiefs got too cute there. It's a championship game, take the sure points with 5 seconds on the clock.
The Royals will force Jackson County to help pay for a new stadium downtown or risk losing them to the Kansas side of the line(probably an area up by the soccer stadium). I agree the "new" Arrowhead will be built on the current site of the K. The problem with Arrowhead is you can't realistically put a roof on it. KC desperately needs a facility to host Super Bowls and Final Fours.

"I remember watching Monday Night Football in 1999 when the Vikings were on a tear & they asked then Governor Jesse Ventura if he would build the Vikings a new stadium because the owner had threatened to move if he didn't?
Paraphrasing, he said "This stadium isn't even 20 years old. We don't rebuild schools or hospitals that are 17 years old. The owner is a billionaire & it's the local Fortune 500 companies that want newer, bigger, more luxurious suites. If they want a new stadium so bad, they can build it themselves.".
