[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 2057603, member: 748116"] Kansas City-area voters just voted down a sales tax to fund renovations to Arrowhead Stadium and a new downtown ballpark. So, the future of the Chiefs and Royals staying in KC is now in question. Even with the great success of the Chiefs right now... voters didn’t want to give their money to fund projects that benefit multi-billion-dollar-value private interests called sports franchises. Is this a look into the future of the White Sox future stadium project? Will the White Sox Owner threaten Chicagoland with packing up his property and going away if he doesn’t get this way? The Sox almost left Chicago a couple decades ago when the current Sox stadium funding was barely approved by legislators at the final minute. And yet, here we may be again. Will Chicago one day become just a one-baseball-team-town like Boston and St. Louis and Philadelphia? The Chiefs did not start in Kansas City. The Royals were a replacement for the A's who left Kansas City. But the Sox are pure Chicago. That is... at least so far. But tomorrow? [/QUOTE]
