Kansas City is one of the biggest sports towns in the whole country, the chiefs practically sell out every single home game, if the royals improve (which they will) and get into a playoff race those games will become more and more like the Chiefs games atmosphere, and we have a soccer team which may not draw any type of the numbers that the chiefs or royals do, but they are still higher than most of the other comparable teams around the country. With all this said they are all playing in 2 pretty old stadiums located really in the middle of nowhere. I understand this is too late now with the tax bill just being passed to "Renovate" the stadiums but i dont understand why atleast the royals wouldn't spend some money because god knows they aren't "wasting" any on players and build a nice stadium in Downtown Kansas City, not only would this help increase the attendance rate drastically, but it would also help with the whole revitlization of downtown that the city is working on. I just wish someone would of proposed something like this before they made a plan to try and fix kaufmann and Arrowhead, I think a brand new stadium could of really helped them in a lot of ways. here is a link for the new stadium the Tampa Bay Rays are building who just like the Royals are a sub par under .500 baseball team.
