The vote yesterday, which came in two parts, resulted in a split decision. The fear mongering worked and people voted to "keep the teams" with stadium renovations, a new 25 year lease, and a sales tax to pay for it. The rolling roof however was rejected.
With these renovations, however, there is no guarantee that we won't have a multi-season construction mess, no guarantee that the teams and Jackson County will honor this lease unlike the last one, and no guarantee that we won't be talking about new stadiums in ten years. We also don't know if "Kauffman" and "Arrowhead" will remain the stadium names as we gave away the naming rights in this rotten deal (which gives the Chiefs all of the money for naming a stadium they don't own).
And without that awful rolling roof there will be no Superbowl or Final Four for those who wanted them so badly.
I think KC just took one of the worst deals ever. Oh well.
Meanwhile, the Royals are winless, outscored 17-4 in two games, while the Chiefs are sitting through the early weeks of free agency doing almost nothing to improve the team. Hmmm.
