To make this work, the Royals just have to generate the attendance equivalent to their 2014 and 2015 seasons for 30 years. Should be no problem for a team that regularly finishes last in their division.
A new financial report says the proposed Royals stadium in Crown Center could generate about $1.4 billion in total tax revenue over 30 years. Economists have thrown cold water on similar estimates, though.
Holy shit. Fire and publicy shame everyone who thought this was a good idea. Put 'em on the No Fly list for good measure.

It is wild that our mayor, a man of the people who drives a 2013 sedan, is pushing a sweetheart deal for a billionaire at the tremendous expense of the city. Shocking!
Kansas City could approve a deal with the Royals within the next two weeks. But the public still doesn’t know where the $600 million will come from or whether the city was successful in negotiating community benefits. buff.ly/Wkp0nXF
Often, the worst part of being a parent of school children is other parents. There are a lot of "adults" loose who are overly entitled and semiferal.
‘We stopped the bus.’ Wake County parents defend blocking school bus that missed stops. The parents say they felt their children were unsafe on the bus. Parents followed, stopped a car in front of it to keep it from moving and surrounded bus. www.newsobserver.com/news/local/e... #nced #wcpss
Someone should sit down with these morons, hold their clammy little hands, and gently explain that books don't turn kids gay.

Ma'am, no one cares if he could crack a joke. He was a vicious, bootlicking little twerp who happily left the world worse off. No amount of funny makes that better.
I got to know Senator Lindsey Graham traveling with him abroad in Afghanistan and Ukraine. We had just met to renew the fight for our Big Tech bill. Even though we disagreed on much, he was always willing to negotiate, with humor and wit. My heart goes out to his loved ones.
It was a bad call that should have been reversed, but this sucks and it spoils whatever the US team does now.
🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card. FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.
Personally, I'd prefer Danzig's "Mother" or The Misfits' "Where Eagles Dare." But this certainly captures the, uh, spirit of America.

The right thing to do would be to force Hee Haw to reimburse the state. But we'll probably cut school lunches or cut Medicaid for kids or something else equally awful because this is Missouri.
Former Gov. Mike Parson’s office spent $375,000 flying him around on state aircraft without keeping flight records showing why, and for a third of those flights, auditors could not identify any state business purpose. (@missouriindependent.com)

A sure sign of a fantastic deal for the city is the inability or unwillingness to explain how we'll pay for it. Also, the Royals only generate $5 million in tax revenue a year? Holy cow, we're screwed.

We, by sheer luck, dodged the recorder bullet. Thanks cheap elementary school administrators. And then my son decided he wanted to be in middle school band and brought home the euphonium.
