Chiefs stadium

Cleveland Browns moving to different city. Somehow it’ll work against the taxpayers. Team sucks but J Haslam needs more $$ to build, basically, a small city.

He won’t be in office in 2031, might be in hell by then

Subsidizing billions to build stadiums that they will charge you more to attend, why are we so stupid as a country?

KS is willing to steal more from their taxpayers, to hand to billionaire owners who extort money from the communities where they're teams are based. Pro sports is full on elitist slop now. Most American's can't afford the price of admission and we're still forced to pay for a billionaires stadium.

Heard on the radio just now that Chiefs also get to keep all profits from concessions, parking, etc lol

The Bills’ new stadium isn’t “enclosed.” In fact, it even has natural grass! @thesystem.bsky.social

I am quite pleased I no longer have to pay taxes to support a billionaires play toy to extract money from you. It will be no harder for you to get to the stadium on the Kansas side than it was on the Missouri side. Let Kansas taxpayors have the burden.

This is the biggest scam the Chiefs’ owners are already worth $25 billion, yet they are tapping public funds to build a stadium that will mostly benefit them financially, while taxpayers shoulder the risk.

Is it Kansas money or did they get federal dollars? If they are just local funds then I don’t care. They have already decimated their education system and this will just send it further down the national rankings. Folks from Missouri will still attend games but won’t have to pay more in taxes

To bore you further, Kansas City, Missouri, was chartered first, in 1850. The State of Kansas was crated in 1851. The city of Kansas City Kansas was created in 1872. So KCMO was a successful cow (slaughter) town and KCK wanted in on that actions. Bigger, richer KCMO said no. KCMO’s official name is

If you mean for the Chiefs, I haven’t seen any momentum on that. The KC metropolitan area includes suburbs on the Kansas side. Think Paul Rudd and Jason Sudekis, both grew up in Overland Park, KS, and are big Chiefs fans. I’d be surprised if a name change came from this move.

No more stadiums for billionaires paid for with public money. How about they pay for it themselves & have to build homeless housing for every seat in the arena…

Professional Sports is one of the biggest corporate welfare scams in history. Between forced carriage on cable services to massive public socialism, they're laughing at every single American.

I'm sure the 160k people in the KC Kansas area will be paying taxes for it, long after the new stadium is declared obsolete..lol

Seattle finally paid off the bonds used to build the Kingdome, 15 years after the building was demolished and replaced. Kansas will pay billions and in 20 years the Chiefs will move back to Missouri when that state offers them a newer stadium at taxpayer expense.

Same with Indy. To help fund the new stadium, the county added a beverage tax on all alcohol sales. It opened 17 years ago, yet we still have the tax...🤔

Bro has every statewide office, a supermajority in both chambers, was handed an 8 billion dollar budget surplus, and still had to call two special sessions. One to keep the Chiefs after it failed on the ballot and the other to gerrymander Missouri. White male privilege if I've ever seen it.

Seattle has a law no public funding for sports arenas. Clay Bennett tried to blackmail us. He wanted an area that we paid for, we paid for the concessions and staff, but he got 100% of the profit, even for non-basketball games. U2 concert? He gets the profit from that too.

I think the Chiefs are making a huge football mistake. Financially though good move. But leaving the confines of Arrowhead where they have a YUGE advantage may be problematic. Look at the Cowboys. After leaving Texas Stadium for this ATT monstrosity, they have no home field advance. Just a caution.

Obligatory "athletics venues in Boston are privately financed", and the teams do quite well.
