Part of the problem in Jackson county is that it's already one of the highest taxed counties in Missouri, and many people are struggling to put food on the table under this administration.

Especially since all it does is fill the pockets of the billionaire owners and other wealthy elites even more. The current stadium is fine. It has no problems doing what it was designed and built to do, and has done for many years now, which is...host football games.

You’re very wrong about there not being nothing around the new arrowhead location in Kansas. It’s in an area called. The legends were sporting. Casey is right there. Hollywood casino and entire outdoor mall hibachi grills restaurants great Wolf Lodge, Jack stack barbecue everything‘s around there only thing where arrowhead stadium is at is a Taco Bell and a gas station.
Build a new modern Arrowhead Stadium, same style but with all the bells and whistles, open air, include awning around the top for partial shade and to amplify sound! Build it right next door, then replace old stadium with a stadium district to increase revenue opportunities. Do the same with the Royals, but not at the same time.
It’s not dead the Kansas legislature ended day after they purpose anything to the board. However, it can be called an emergency legislative session if they need to use it for this purpose. They need to determine if the taxpayers need to vote for it or can the legislature send thru according to the state law.
It’s dead just simply no public support behind it just the local government I just don’t see the Kansas side getting over 50% approval on it maybe for one but for both your talking over 3 billion what would be smart is Missouri pays for half Kansas pays for half put one in Kansas put one in Missouri make both sides of the line happy it’s not all just left on one side to pay the whole tab either way it’s the same city it basically benefits the both the same why not pay 50 / 50 between the states
Its not dead they will continue the process at a later date. Until then Jackson County better come up with a good proposal on why they should still stay in Missouri
Well, guess what. Frank White and his cronies have stated that they won't enact a special session and it has to be another 12 months until another ballot measure can be put on the ballot. Don't be so sure the Royals or Chiefs will want to come back to the table then.
This is 75% a done deal. STAR bonds work and the sales tax from the stadium events are what pays for it. A special session vote will get it done and it has support from both sides of the isle. Jackson County, KC and Missouri- you snooze, you lose.
You might want to go and look up where they would plan to build this I am sure they would plan to build this in the Legends area and there is actually plenty of shopping places in the area there's food in the area Sporting KC stadium is over there as well as another Stadium there are hotels in the area so it's not just surrounded by trees
It's not over. Anyone who thought this was going to happen in a day, was foolish. More research and negotiations will have to happen before a decision would be made. There's no doubt they will move to KCK. KCMO has no play, they laid out all the cards they had with that tax vote. One rendering does not a new stadium make.
The reason the designs are so similar is that if your objective is to build a domed stadium optimized for football, but wide enough to accommodate FIFA, they're all going to look similar. Arrowhead is indeed legendary, because when everyone else was building convertible stadia that sucked at football and baseball (Oakland Coliseum) KC built a dedicated football stadium and a dedicated baseball stadium for about the same money as a single sucky stadium would.
San Diego should lure a team....the Kansas City Chiefs. They wouldn't need a dome there but could still offer a new stadium with plenty of great amenities and great weather. Fans could cheer on the San Diego Sharks.
OK, DG, another failed research video. The proposal in the KS Legislature was last minute and the committee that needed to have a hearing to allow it to be voted on the House floor had already adjourned for the year. But the odds are strong that Gov. Kelly will be calling the Leg. back for a special session for other tax questions. Once they’re back in session, the Leg. can pass any bill they want. This rendering was nothing more than an example for the Leg., not anything close to what it will be when built. The Chiefs had no say or input in this rendering. Kansas also wanted to get their foot in the door to let both teams know Kansas is open to both of them. According to MO law, JACo, MO cannot bring the issue back for a vote for 12 months after the issue was last voted on. Don’t forget the new college football playoff will add more games, such as the CFP championship game! Plus KC could host a bowl game. The proposed site in NOT in an open field! It right next door to the Kansas Speedway and the Legends.
Are you daft!? Four superbowls! Yeah billions! What's best for KC fans the team and organization is Kansas! What its not dead! Negotiations are just beginning, F Jackson county!
You need to quit showing renderings of these projects. The only thing the owners care about is building the stadium/arena all the other things in the renderings are just to tease the taxpayers.
Kansas wants the Chiefs because they’re winning. If they were in some bad years, no one would be talking about this. They are going to ruin the dynasty they’re going for. The whole thing leaves a bad taste.
@ronaldnelson6692 Vegas is a bit different being a gambling destination and they can capitalize on promotional events with casinos. It is all tied in with tourism. I don't think either KC from both states can compare in tourism and the revenue that comes from it.
@@AZLANKHAN003 It would improve the state of Kansas revenue immensely with all the events they can bring to that stadium. Concerts, monster truck rallies the Superbowl.
@ronaldnelson6692 not disagreeing with that buddy... just was replying to your Vegas comparison. Vegas has benefits that a lot of markets can't compete with unless you are speaking about highly populated cities.
@@AZLANKHAN003 But you would think that they would have got a better team than the Raiders because they haven't had a winning season pretty much since they went to the Superbowl in 2003.
Go West... move em to San Diego. Billionaire Joseph Tsai lives in San Diego and owns the Brooklyn Nets and NY liberty. He wants to build a stadium in San Diego and be involved with an NFL team. City of San Diego eventually hated Chargers owner Dean Spanos because he was a cheapskate and horrible owner. I don't think Chiefs would move there but who knows ,but I do know Tsai living in SD wants to put money towards a stadium etc... in San Diego. Kroenke who owns Rams actually is helping fund a new Arena for Hockey and Basketball in San Diego. San Diego county Metro has almost 4 million people.
The whole point of the Royals leaving Kauffman was to go downtown. I think it’s very clear they want the Crossroads site. As a backup they would go to NKC in Clay County, Missouri, right across from downtown. The Chiefs are more likely to end up in Kansas but it’s still unlikely. The want to remain at Arrowhead and new stadium talk is a leverage play, imo.
Kansas has the KC suburbs with money, but outside of that they don't have a lot of money. I kept thinking there is no way they can foot the bill unless they just sell their souls and future.
@jasonherron4199 Kansas, has a lot of millionaires and 12 billionaires and few of them are in double and triple digit. I know because I use to wait on some of them.
We need to look at a larger new Stadium in closed at 90k too 100seating. At 3 Billion dollars and do something like Packers have. But instead we just make it a Tribal membership certificate monthly contributions of like $25 to $100 at beginning levels for 60 months to all rural area of Kansas can support the new Stadium using a Specialty Account laws for Chiefs.
Following the the Cherokee Nation has Seven tribes. When I have been at game in Arrowhead I have had fans from Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma. So have tribal membership if chiefs for six states and in for world wide.
The plan will eventually turn into - the Royals will move to a new stadium elsewhere. Kauffman will get torn down, a new Arrowhead will get built on the spot, then old Arrowhead will be torn down and that lot turned into "Chiefs Village". Book it.
Both stadiums are over 50 years old there's only so much renovations you can do if they can't build new stadiums they should move and lose the teams it's very simple
Every time I see the stadium videos, it looks more and more like ownership wants change just for the sake of change. Change should only be for the sake of improvement, not change for change itself
Since I believe the LA Chargers lease Sofi Stadium from the LA Rams....how about the Fort Worth Chiefs lease AT&T Stadium from the Dallas Cowboys? Fort Worth is more than twice the size of Kansas City, MO; and the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Area (8.1 million people) is more than 3.5 times the size of the Kansas City Metro area. Not to mention the Chiefs started in DFW area, Home of Hunt Family.
There is zero chance that any NFL team moves to Dallas. The Cowboys are the richest professional sports franchise in the world and there's no way Jerry or the NFL would ever allow any barriers to the Cowboys making as much money as possible. I see this posted in every video about this and it just needs to stop. It's never going to happen. There is exactly one place the Chiefs can realistically move to that the other NFL owners would vote to allow and it's the Kansas side of Kansas City.
There's far more surrounding the KS site than the Truman Sports Complex. The legends shopping area, the Speedway, Children's Mercy Park, and plenty of restaurants.
As I said in your previous vide, Chiefs ownership has absolutely no desire in building a new domed stadium on the Kansas state side nor the Missouri State side. The only thing those idiots are interested in is keeping their asses plunked down where they currently are, renovating Arrowhead and leaving it as an open-air stadium. Which to me is pretty pathetic because K.C. will never have a chance to host a Superbowl.
My property tax already went up. Clark Hunt has much more money than me . As much as I love watching the chiefs i cannot afford to go to a game why should I have to pay for rich guys to have a place to play a game
CHIEFS FOOTBALL POEM 2024 The stands are full of eager fans Who say, we're paid too much money! But if they would put our suits on They'd find football isn't funny. Twenty-two men and five referees Chasing a pigskin, air filled ball. Mashing and bashing all the way Till the striped shirts whistle their call. All the generals on the sideline Are waging their athletic war. And the letters in the words they use Never amount to more than four. There's no substitute for winning And no excuse for losing. Though after games; when we can't sleep It's because of all the bruising. By Kansas City Poet Tom Zart! Most Published Poet On The Web!
These plans are not well thought out and the designs appear to be vanity projects of the owners and architects … just not well thought out and I would vote against it!
I don't understand why the tax payers are turned off ,they haven't built a new stadium for baseball or football in over 50 years .I've not seen the proposed Royals stadium but the proposed Chief's stadium looks off the hook 😁 like the wise tale says its cheaper to build from scratch then to refurbish a existing building especially old buildings 😊
Just like the NASCAR track it was supposed to be in Missouri , up by the airport , messed around and messed around Kansas made an offer and the rest is history
This is a grift, these star bonds happened around 2007 and they have had a lot of problems paying the bond holders as the revenue from the tax isn’t enough.
St Louis Chiefs perhaps? Ok that maybe a long shot, but St Louis has been begging for an NFL team since the rams left. They would most definitely bend over backwards to build whatever stadium the chiefs would want.
24 of the 32 owners have to approve _any_ move. The league/owners _hate_ St. Louis. That $790 million settlement plus legal costs they had to cough up in 2022 left a bad taste in their mouths.
@@oubrioko it is NOT true that the league/owners hate St, Louis, that is YOUR propaganda. YES, St. Louis won a Billion dollar lawsuit due to the shady owner of the Rams and St. Louis fought back and won an OBVIOUS lawsuit. The owners are not stupid, the problem is KROENKE ...NOT St Louis.
@@DavidZinselmeier If it _is_ propaganda, it's propaganda by owners like Jerry Jones. (I certainly didn't force him to make those quotes). It's not St Louis' fault that they were hoodwinked by Kroenke, but the league owners currently have no interest in locating _another_ franchise in that market
Guessing Arrowhead when it finally has its last game will have been the oldest NFL stadium in operation so Arrowhead probably getting a renovation even if it means the Chiefs would have to play in the Kansas Jayhawks stadium.
This rendering was just something a firm put out on its own and has absolutely no connection with the team or local government and you're reporting on it like it's an official proposal by the Chiefs. One of the guys that designed aligent stadium grew up in suburban Kansas City KS and graduated Shawnee mission east so his firm did a rendering to help pitch the idea. You also say soldier field randomly when it doesn't fit the context. Everything you're saying is just nonsense at that point you're not understanding what's going on.

Renovations are a waste of money. The money is a third of a new stadium. Put that money towards a new stadium.
They'll call a special session and vote then. FAR from dead
They tried and Frank White said it can't go back onto the ballot for 12 months.
@@brmhandleHe’s referring Kansas calling a special session, which would allow for them to vote on thr STAR Bonds plan.
You’re very wrong about there not being nothing around the new arrowhead location in Kansas. It’s in an area called. The legends were sporting. Casey is right there. Hollywood casino and entire outdoor mall hibachi grills restaurants great Wolf Lodge, Jack stack barbecue everything‘s around there only thing where arrowhead stadium is at is a Taco Bell and a gas station.
Trust me it's not the end.
Build a new modern Arrowhead Stadium, same style but with all the bells and whistles, open air, include awning around the top for partial shade and to amplify sound! Build it right next door, then replace old stadium with a stadium district to increase revenue opportunities. Do the same with the Royals, but not at the same time.
It’s not dead the Kansas legislature ended day after they purpose anything to the board. However, it can be called an emergency legislative session if they need to use it for this purpose. They need to determine if the taxpayers need to vote for it or can the legislature send thru according to the state law.
It’s dead just simply no public support behind it just the local government I just don’t see the Kansas side getting over 50% approval on it maybe for one but for both your talking over 3 billion what would be smart is Missouri pays for half Kansas pays for half put one in Kansas put one in Missouri make both sides of the line happy it’s not all just left on one side to pay the whole tab either way it’s the same city it basically benefits the both the same why not pay 50 / 50 between the states
You should do a video on the renderings for the golden park renovation for the Mississippi braves moving to Columbus
The reason plans keep failing is the public finding part.
I guess mid sized cities just can't have teams then. Pro sports for NY and LA only
Its not dead they will continue the process at a later date. Until then Jackson County better come up with a good proposal on why they should still stay in Missouri
Well, guess what. Frank White and his cronies have stated that they won't enact a special session and it has to be another 12 months until another ballot measure can be put on the ballot. Don't be so sure the Royals or Chiefs will want to come back to the table then.
This is 75% a done deal. STAR bonds work and the sales tax from the stadium events are what pays for it. A special session vote will get it done and it has support from both sides of the isle. Jackson County, KC and Missouri- you snooze, you lose.
The London Chiefs sound good
You might want to go and look up where they would plan to build this I am sure they would plan to build this in the Legends area and there is actually plenty of shopping places in the area there's food in the area Sporting KC stadium is over there as well as another Stadium there are hotels in the area so it's not just surrounded by trees
It's not over. Anyone who thought this was going to happen in a day, was foolish. More research and negotiations will have to happen before a decision would be made. There's no doubt they will move to KCK. KCMO has no play, they laid out all the cards they had with that tax vote.
One rendering does not a new stadium make.
why wouldn't they want to move to Kansas it's going to happen.
Royals should move to Nashville and beat the Chisox to it.
There are no shovels in the ground for ballparks for either team in Nashville I just Googled it
Except the Rays may beat them to it if the proposed Tampa fiasco falls apart
@@michaelleroy9281 You had to Google that? 🤦🏻♂️
@@michaelbaucom4019 True. I am hoping they go to Charlotte..
Nah they'll stay in KC
The reason the designs are so similar is that if your objective is to build a domed stadium optimized for football, but wide enough to accommodate FIFA, they're all going to look similar.
Arrowhead is indeed legendary, because when everyone else was building convertible stadia that sucked at football and baseball (Oakland Coliseum) KC built a dedicated football stadium and a dedicated baseball stadium for about the same money as a single sucky stadium would.
San Diego should lure a team....the Kansas City Chiefs. They wouldn't need a dome there but could still offer a new stadium with plenty of great amenities and great weather. Fans could cheer on the San Diego Sharks.
OK, DG, another failed research video. The proposal in the KS Legislature was last minute and the committee that needed to have a hearing to allow it to be voted on the House floor had already adjourned for the year. But the odds are strong that Gov. Kelly will be calling the Leg. back for a special session for other tax questions. Once they’re back in session, the Leg. can pass any bill they want. This rendering was nothing more than an example for the Leg., not anything close to what it will be when built. The Chiefs had no say or input in this rendering. Kansas also wanted to get their foot in the door to let both teams know Kansas is open to both of them. According to MO law, JACo, MO cannot bring the issue back for a vote for 12 months after the issue was last voted on.
Don’t forget the new college football playoff will add more games, such as the CFP championship game! Plus KC could host a bowl game.
The proposed site in NOT in an open field! It right next door to the Kansas Speedway and the Legends.
Thank you! Cook up!
Are you daft!? Four superbowls! Yeah billions! What's best for KC fans the team and organization is Kansas! What its not dead! Negotiations are just beginning, F Jackson county!
Thank god. Any arrowhead replacement better be same level as SoFi imo. Arrowhead is too legendary to replace with a cookie cut stadium
Not if it's empty
You need to quit showing renderings of these projects. The only thing the owners care about is building the stadium/arena all the other things in the renderings are just to tease the taxpayers.
They don't need to tease the other shopping areas are already there
It seems like they don't care about the history of arrowhead at all, what a shame.
Kansas wants the Chiefs because they’re winning. If they were in some bad years, no one would be talking about this. They are going to ruin the dynasty they’re going for. The whole thing leaves a bad taste.
@jewely9757 Then why did Vegas want the Raiders? They haven't had a winning season in a long time.
@ronaldnelson6692 Vegas is a bit different being a gambling destination and they can capitalize on promotional events with casinos. It is all tied in with tourism. I don't think either KC from both states can compare in tourism and the revenue that comes from it.
@@AZLANKHAN003 It would improve the state of Kansas revenue immensely with all the events they can bring to that stadium. Concerts, monster truck rallies the Superbowl.
@ronaldnelson6692 not disagreeing with that buddy... just was replying to your Vegas comparison. Vegas has benefits that a lot of markets can't compete with unless you are speaking about highly populated cities.
@@AZLANKHAN003 But you would think that they would have got a better team than the Raiders because they haven't had a winning season pretty much since they went to the Superbowl in 2003.
Go West... move em to San Diego. Billionaire Joseph Tsai lives in San Diego and owns the Brooklyn Nets and NY liberty. He wants to build a stadium in San Diego and be involved with an NFL team. City of San Diego eventually hated Chargers owner Dean Spanos because he was a cheapskate and horrible owner. I don't think Chiefs would move there but who knows ,but I do know Tsai living in SD wants to put money towards a stadium etc... in San Diego. Kroenke who owns Rams actually is helping fund a new Arena for Hockey and Basketball in San Diego. San Diego county Metro has almost 4 million people.
Make the owners pay. The Hunt family has the money. Keep Arrowhead.
It is legendary.
LESS GOO!!,
The whole point of the Royals leaving Kauffman was to go downtown. I think it’s very clear they want the Crossroads site. As a backup they would go to NKC in Clay County, Missouri, right across from downtown. The Chiefs are more likely to end up in Kansas but it’s still unlikely. The want to remain at Arrowhead and new stadium talk is a leverage play, imo.
What is the dif between tax payers building a dry cleaners and the owner keeps the profits, and the entity known as MLB, NFL biz gets same deal? Fair?
A dry cleaner has an actual direct benefit to the public and could be in use year round.
Kansas has the KC suburbs with money, but outside of that they don't have a lot of money. I kept thinking there is no way they can foot the bill unless they just sell their souls and future.
@jasonherron4199
Kansas, has a lot of millionaires and 12 billionaires and few of them are in double and triple digit. I know because I use to wait on some of them.
I know MANY people in Jackson county who are very well off financially. Your statement at one time was more true but not so much now.
Johnson County is very wealthy, but Wyandotte is not.
That's wishful thinking, Missouri never learns, St Louis said the same damn thing
I don’t know why they can’t rebuild right where they are. They have the land there.
Clark Hunt needs to cough up money to renovate Arrowhead and the owner of the Royals needs to do the same with his stadium
Would that be cool do the new stadium half of it would be in Kansas City Kansas and the other half of being in Kansas City Missouri
Cookie cutter domes
These owners are like the guy who hast to buy a new car every year for some new gadget.
We need to look at a larger new Stadium in closed at 90k too 100seating. At 3 Billion dollars and do something like Packers have. But instead we just make it a Tribal membership certificate monthly contributions of like $25 to $100 at beginning levels for 60 months to all rural area of Kansas can support the new Stadium using a Specialty Account laws for Chiefs.
Following the the Cherokee Nation has Seven tribes. When I have been at game in Arrowhead I have had fans from Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma. So have tribal membership if chiefs for six states and in for world wide.
They should move the team to Wichita, KS. 🤣😂😂😂😂
Crowdfund it, Star Citizen Stadium
Authoritize???
That's what she said 😂
I want the old stadium with the cheat code that makes it very loud for the other teams.
The plan will eventually turn into - the Royals will move to a new stadium elsewhere. Kauffman will get torn down, a new Arrowhead will get built on the spot, then old Arrowhead will be torn down and that lot turned into "Chiefs Village". Book it.
And who will _pay_ for this new stadium, demolition of Kauffman, and Chiefs village?
Not in JacksonCounty
Nope. Chiefs President Mark Donavan has already said that they don’t feel that that area is worth redeveloping. In other words, it’s a dump.
@@davidbrooks9592 so you would rather they move to Texas, right.
@@mikemitchell8329 Don’t be obtuse. They’ll move to Kansas - which is where they’ll end up - before they consider leaving the Kansas City metro.
When mention holding final four super bowls. Should mention Wrestlemania. That more than two days of events and has larger attendance than NCAA
Both stadiums are over 50 years old there's only so much renovations you can do if they can't build new stadiums they should move and lose the teams it's very simple
“Multi-billionaire needs financial help from the working class building a billion dollar stadium.”
Every time I see the stadium videos, it looks more and more like ownership wants change just for the sake of change. Change should only be for the sake of improvement, not change for change itself
The Chiefs Blimp of Kansas 😂
My prediction is the Royals wind up in Clay County..
Is the Royals new ballpark confirmed? Did the Royals owner announce the team will fund it 100% privately with the land already purchased?
Renovating soldier field???
Since I believe the LA Chargers lease Sofi Stadium from the LA Rams....how about the Fort Worth Chiefs lease AT&T Stadium from the Dallas Cowboys? Fort Worth is more than twice the size of Kansas City, MO; and the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Area (8.1 million people) is more than 3.5 times the size of the Kansas City Metro area. Not to mention the Chiefs started in DFW area, Home of Hunt Family.
There is zero chance that any NFL team moves to Dallas. The Cowboys are the richest professional sports franchise in the world and there's no way Jerry or the NFL would ever allow any barriers to the Cowboys making as much money as possible. I see this posted in every video about this and it just needs to stop. It's never going to happen. There is exactly one place the Chiefs can realistically move to that the other NFL owners would vote to allow and it's the Kansas side of Kansas City.
Privatize the profits, socialize the costs. Why do we continue to allow Billionaires to exist?
If Stan kroenkie can privately finance Sofi every sports owner can too no excuses
Have you ever been to the KS side because you keep going off these pictures, that is not how it looks over there
soldier field?
If Chiefs and Royals go to Kansas, The Missouri and Kansas rivalry thicken
No it doesn't Missouri had their chance and voted against it, don't blame no one but yourselfs
There's far more surrounding the KS site than the Truman Sports Complex. The legends shopping area, the Speedway, Children's Mercy Park, and plenty of restaurants.
Billionaires want to keep their money.
Billionaires need to build their own stadium
As I said in your previous vide, Chiefs ownership has absolutely no desire in building a new domed stadium on the Kansas state side nor the Missouri State side. The only thing those idiots are interested in is keeping their asses plunked down where they currently are, renovating Arrowhead and leaving it as an open-air stadium. Which to me is pretty pathetic because K.C. will never have a chance to host a Superbowl.
"Renderings" count = 10 ;p
My property tax already went up. Clark Hunt has much more money than me . As much as I love watching the chiefs i cannot afford to go to a game why should I have to pay for rich guys to have a place to play a game
The chiefs were putting in 300M of the 800M
CHIEFS FOOTBALL POEM 2024
The stands are full of eager fans
Who say, we're paid too much money!
But if they would put our suits on
They'd find football isn't funny.
Twenty-two men and five referees
Chasing a pigskin, air filled ball.
Mashing and bashing all the way
Till the striped shirts whistle their call.
All the generals on the sideline
Are waging their athletic war.
And the letters in the words they use
Never amount to more than four.
There's no substitute for winning
And no excuse for losing.
Though after games; when we can't sleep
It's because of all the bruising.

Most Published Poet On The Web!
Those rendering were nothing official. Just rough draft renderings
Taxpayers getting sick and tired of building these billionaire's toy boxes
Just build a sofi stadium replica in Kansas.
nah, don't need to..Sofi is close to LAX airport which influenced the design and be 100 feet underground
These plans are not well thought out and the designs appear to be vanity projects of the owners and architects … just not well thought out and I would vote against it!
I don't understand why the tax payers are turned off ,they haven't built a new stadium for baseball or football in over 50 years .I've not seen the proposed Royals stadium but the proposed Chief's stadium looks off the hook 😁 like the wise tale says its cheaper to build from scratch then to refurbish a existing building especially old buildings 😊
Please stop with “authoritize”. It’s not a word. Next thing you know, you’ll report on the Royals’ strategery.
Oh holy hell Kansas, at least get all your ducks in a row if you're planning on poaching ALL the KCMO teams...😂😂😂
Just like the NASCAR track it was supposed to be in Missouri , up by the airport , messed around and messed around Kansas made an offer and the rest is history
49ers paid for their own stadium so can they.
This is a grift, these star bonds happened around 2007 and they have had a lot of problems paying the bond holders as the revenue from the tax isn’t enough.
I wonder if all these rendering are being put out my some AI obsessed 'stadium mook' for fodder for UA-cam etc.
"Soldier Field?". Really Ginger?
Why would people pay for a family to become billionaires while people have a hard time making ends meet?
St Louis Chiefs perhaps? Ok that maybe a long shot, but St Louis has been begging for an NFL team since the rams left. They would most definitely bend over backwards to build whatever stadium the chiefs would want.
24 of the 32 owners have to approve _any_ move. The league/owners _hate_ St. Louis. That $790 million settlement plus legal costs they had to cough up in 2022 left a bad taste in their mouths.
@@oubrioko it is NOT true that the league/owners hate St, Louis, that is YOUR propaganda. YES, St. Louis won a Billion dollar lawsuit due to the shady owner of the Rams and St. Louis fought back and won an OBVIOUS lawsuit. The owners are not stupid, the problem is KROENKE ...NOT St Louis.
I don’t see us giving up tax payer money for the hunt family hell for any team anytime soon
@@DavidZinselmeier If it _is_ propaganda, it's propaganda by owners like Jerry Jones. (I certainly didn't force him to make those quotes). It's not St Louis' fault that they were hoodwinked by Kroenke, but the league owners currently have no interest in locating _another_ franchise in that market
Quit dreaming
Guessing Arrowhead when it finally has its last game will have been the oldest NFL stadium in operation so Arrowhead probably getting a renovation even if it means the Chiefs would have to play in the Kansas Jayhawks stadium.
Lambeau Field is 15 years _older_ than Arrowhead Stadium
@@oubrioko Oops, meant to say AFC
Owners are a bunch of cheapskates
DOA. Taxpayers are not going to be giving money anymore until we see economic benefits to the community 😊
Total waste of money !
This rendering was just something a firm put out on its own and has absolutely no connection with the team or local government and you're reporting on it like it's an official proposal by the Chiefs. One of the guys that designed aligent stadium grew up in suburban Kansas City KS and graduated Shawnee mission east so his firm did a rendering to help pitch the idea. You also say soldier field randomly when it doesn't fit the context. Everything you're saying is just nonsense at that point you're not understanding what's going on.
