One part of all this that annoys me is they are telling us Arrowhead is fine to renovate but the K is too far gone. Don't sell us on that.

What do you want the outcome to be here

This is one of those times when it really hits me that nearly everyone lives in/near K.C.

Realistically? They get a deal done this week, veto gets overridden, and they build in the East Village where Mocat wants using the 3/8 sales tax money.

My dream would be some of these teams build without getting community money like the Current did. But that's not going to happen.

Move to WYCO or JOCO is my safety school.

Move to Nashville is my fear.

White is letting his own grudge against the Royals block the taxpayers from voting. My opinion.

Some people disagree:
https://www.royalsreview.com/2024/1/19/24043787/frank-white-cor

So he is vetoing a vote to allow the public to give billionaires free public money instead of simply not giving billionaires free public money? Ok still seems like the right thing to do to me, regardless of his motives

The right thing to do is to not allow jackson co residents to vote on it?

wetwillie · « **Reply #75530 on:** January 19, 2024, 04:39:24 PM »

How many votes does it take to override his veto and how many votes total are there

There are 9 votes. It’s looking like it will be one vote short.

Did the pot get sweetened for someone to change their vote?

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #75535 on:** January 22, 2024, 04:21:50 PM »

Dunno but now it's on the ballot. I'm afraid mocat's east village site is going to be nixed.

I think it's pretty good value on the Bobby Witt deal

wetwillie · « **Reply #75538 on:** February 05, 2024, 12:28:00 PM »

Still leaves 35M a year for the other players, pretty good.

ChiComCat · « **Reply #75539 on:** February 05, 2024, 03:03:07 PM »

I'm mostly worried that it's a page out of the Marlins book. Pretend you're going to pay guys, get the stadium, and then ship them all off.

yup.

I like that we're making a clean handoff between Salvy and Witt as face of the program without having to bear like a decade of Mark Redman, Gil Meche, Joakim Soria, Aaron Crow, Billy Butler All Star game representation.

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #75542 on:** February 06, 2024, 02:24:42 PM »

Hey pal don't lump in Soria with those other turds.

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #75545 on:** February 13, 2024, 08:38:24 AM »

Maybe they can do it with utilizing a lot of the space that is 670?

mocat · « **Reply #75546 on:** February 13, 2024, 10:59:38 AM »

a complete disaster

mocat · « **Reply #75547 on:** February 13, 2024, 11:07:36 AM »

of course this type of fuckery is why

Sigh, just a mess. I prefer that location but not because of that

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #75549 on:** February 13, 2024, 12:24:43 PM »

COR downtown is planning a big add on from what I've heard. Wonder if they struck a deal for that land already and they'll move.
