The vote to spend $800 million for stadium renovations and a new rolling roof is tomorrow. If we get the rolling roof, the NFL has promised a Super Bowl will come to Kansas City. Nevermind that Kansas Citians will be watching it from home like every other year. It was also announced last week that Kansas City will be considered if they apply for a Final Four. Yippee!
Other "possibilities" include:
1 Tour de France
2 Wimbledon
3 Republican National Convention
4 Masters Tournament
5 America’s Cup
6 The Iditarod
7 World’s Fair
8 Mardi Gras
9 Westminster Dog Show
10 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

I just don't get this. If you're going to spend that much money can't you get a better deal? Like maybe NEW stadiums?
And if this project is so worthwhile, can't the owners pay for more of it themselves? If a bunch of thieves wearing ski masks came to your neighborhood and went from house to house until they had gathered $800 million, wouldn't that bother you? Apparently it's different if you give it away in the form of a sales tax and the thieves are already billionaires and their politician friends.
Like I said, I just don't get this.
