The city council voted 11-1 in favor of approving $600 million for the Royals to build a ballpark at Crown Center and the city will now provide a term sheet and start negotiating. I'm excited this looks like its over and ready to think about what a new ball game experience will be like. Owner John Sherman says there are two things the new stadium will have even though the architects hate it.
Meanwhile, the team is making steam come out of my ears as they blow all three games in detroit in the 8th or 9th inning. Thursday was the worst. In fact, I'll say it. This was the worst, most hideous way to lose imaginable. Only the Royals.
Trump was asked about Iran threatening to execute a female protester and he had a one line answer directed at the pope. You gotta hear this.
The governor of Tennessee has signed a resolution changing June from Pride Month to Nuclear Family Month. His reasoning could be the best thing you hear this week.
We play a cut from our Patron Podcast with www.dannyclinkscale.com as he tells what he believes the new ballpark village will be like. Program note... he interviews Christian Okoye on his podcast Friday and I'll bet its great.
And Tiger Woods lawyers are asking the judge in his DUI case if he'll revoke the subpoena for Tiger's prescription records. I"m pretty sure you know how podboy feels about that
Sports, politics, life, buck roofing presents, Kevin Keatsman has issues.
Well what the heck, I thought it might be kind of fun to hit the record button while
I'm really, really, really ticked off at the Kansas City Royals.
They have blown another one, this in an epic fashion, in Detroit on Thursday afternoon
a game that had two rain delays, a sick umpire that delayed the game when he left because
it was a home plate umpire and they had to make a change.
The Royals fell behind six, two, they made an unbelievable comeback, they had a two-run
lead in the ninth and their fundamentals are so stinkin' bad.
They're not guarding the line down the first baseline and a ground ball hard hit goes down
and two runs score from first and second base.
I want a barf.
I'm going to save that for later because the only good thing going on right now with
the Kansas City Royals is the only exciting thing, the only interesting thing about the
Royals as they're playing so poorly is we have a new ballpark to look forward to.
And boy is this good timing because man, if there was something on the ballot coming
up, the Royals would be in real trouble.
If nothing else, just the emotion of how hard it is to watch this team, they cannot finish
a game.
They will get to that in sports, but the big news on Thursday, the City Council in
Kansas, Missouri passes by a vote of 11 to one, the right for the Roy, the agreement
to go enter an agreement, basically with the city manager to do a term sheet review and
negotiate with the team, $600 million approved now in funds for the Kansas City Royals to
build at Washington Square Park, which is Crown Center.
The one person that did not vote for this is Republican Nathan Willett from the North
Land who was running for Congress.
And so it was an easy vote for him.
He's leaving City Council anyway and he's like, he's kind of like Scott Jennings on CNN,
his role on that council is 11 to one for crying out loud.
You know what Kansas City, Missouri is.
So he's the the lone wolf conservative guy there.
The Royals will be building a $1.9 billion stadium.
They enter negotiations with a term sheet review and negotiations with city manager Mario
Vasquez, Royals executives were in attendance, including Brooke Sherman, who's their president
of real estate and development.
They also had the baseball business president there as well.
In other news around this on the same day, a company out of Wichita purchases its second
building in the area, the 11 story, 23 23 grand building and office building is purchased
by Crane Company out of Wichita is the second building they've built that they've bought
adjacent to this land.
The I think a real estate frenzy is coming now later in the podcast, I'm going to play
a discussion between myself and Danny Klingscale that was part of a patron podcast this
week where we discuss what we think this will all turn out to be what the baseball village
will be.
What it will be like in that area around Crown Center, the World War one museum and monument
and obviously union station.
There's so much there and we've already seen a Wichita company by two buildings up.
I think real estate people are going to hit a frenzy in this area.
It is just just far enough away from downtown and the plaza to be better than both.
Yeah.
Think about that for a second, when you think about who goes to power and light district?
Well, the answer is nobody unless there's something at T mobile center, nobody goes there.
It's empty almost all the time and yet a lot of people live there.
They've built these huge sky rise apartments like tens of thousands of people live in downtown
or around it now and nobody goes to power and light.
They're looking for something better and different, maybe even walkable.
I think we're going to get condos and apartment buildings and all kinds of things built up
around this ballpark.
And yes, it's going to take a few years.
But if the royals in the city believe they can open this ballpark in 2030, I don't think
they're going to open it until the bars and restaurants and retail and things are built.
And I have no idea.
I mean, real estate is not my thing, but I will get Stan Weber on.
He's an expert on downtown real estate.
I'll get Stan Weber on and we'll talk to him about what kind of buildings these are,
who would potentially buy them and what they might do with them.
The royals obviously have their own company because that's why Brooke Sherman is there
that he heads up the royals real estate and development company.
That's going to be ancillary things around the ballpark.
And a couple of the big players in this will be Peter Maluk, who owns creative planning
is a billionaire, Paul Edgerley, who's an investor in the royals, who's a billionaire.
These guys have made their living in investments real estate investments and they basically are
just huge investment bankers.
And I just, I think I think they're coming in in a big way.
I think John Sherman will be putting some money in this.
It's going to be a very interesting side company for the royals to see what they do.
And when they start talking about negotiating terms and a lease, a term sheet with the city,
some of this may have to do with rights around the ballpark.
In other words, the royals are going to want that.
Let's say down the right field line and the left field line.
They're going to want rights to operate the businesses across the street adjacent from
the role park.
They're not just going to allow other private businesses to come in and develop and make
all the money on game day.
The royals are not going to let their going to be investors in this city.
And they should be investors in this city in a big way because they're going to get
well over a billion dollars, maybe close to a billion three on this stadium for the stadium
for the $1.9 billion stadium.
I think they're going to want to get about a billion, two billion, three toward that.
That leaves them a lot of money left over.
They could literally look at it and say, look what we're getting.
Let's take our billion dollars and develop all this around here and make all the
cancelary money.
I think that's what they want to do.
I kind of see it.
We'll talk it over with Danny a little bit later as we had a discussion about how long
this may take.
Mayor Quentin Lucas called this an historic day, a transformational project for downtown
Kansas city.
They say part of the plan is to have publicly accessible parks and recreation areas around
the ballpark and John Sherman, the owner of the team has to be confused with Brooks
Sherman has said what he heard over and over and he's telling populace, the architects,
and they keep designing something and sending it back to him.
He says, no, I don't see any any feature with a crown and I don't see any fountains.
Find a way.
That's what everybody wants to see now personally, I'd maybe build like a really cool giant fountain.
I've been to other cities where they have one in the middle of a pond or a lake that
gist goes way way way up into the sky and I think maybe I'd do that outside the ballpark.
Or inside the ballpark, you'd have a view of that and maybe not burn up all the real
estate in the ballpark where you could have seats and things like that like the fountains
were at Coffin Stadium.
They were cool.
But if you build, if you build the fountain smaller than Coffin Stadium, people are going
to complain.
The fountain element maybe needs to be external just beyond like the left field plaza as
you enter the stadium or something like that and do not do crown vision, okay?
It's the worst school board in America.
There are no school boards shaped that way.
They can't show you proper replays on it because it's not formatted right.
They need a proper formatted scoreboard, video board, which is like your HD TV at home.
So when you see a replay, you see it exactly as the camera intended for you to see it.
You can't do an up and down scoreboard like that.
That's just not 2026.
Hopefully John Sherman understands this.
He gets final say on all these things, but yes, you can have a scoreboard with crowns on
it.
You put it in, I think left field maybe would be the place because the sun would be shining
on the right field scoreboard more than left field or you could put it way up high.
I guess toward center field, but I think or maybe matching smaller school boards in right
center and left center.
You don't want to kill the view of downtown from the seats.
This is going to take some real planning.
They got to not screw this up.
I appreciate the fact that they want to put a crown on top of the scoreboard.
But the way it's shaped right now is like the Royals logo.
That's all that was that was the Royals logo, but you could take the top of the logo and
stretch it out and put a regular video board under it.
That's the right scope of what video is.
It's done everywhere else.
I'm not saying we have to be everywhere else.
We can do some unique things.
There's a lot of people suggesting it should look like an old building like Union Station
and the Liberty Memorial.
It should be that area of architecture, area of architecture.
I don't know what the Royals are going to decide.
I don't know that bricks fit in, but it certainly isn't going to be a metal shed like they
have a Kaufman stadium right metal and concrete.
It's going to be better than that.
As you can tell, I'm excited about that.
I needed to hit record on my microphone to start talking about that because I'm really,
really, really mad at the Royals right now.
Really mad at the Royals.
But a good day, all in all, as it appears, this thing is moving down the road.
Brooks Sherman said afterwards that he's excited about the possibilities and is looking
forward to the negotiations.
He thinks this is a winner.
They have not said they're accepting it.
They have not said a deal is done.
They're moving on to the negotiation phase with the city manager over a term sheet and
negotiations.
So that is the latest with the ballpark downtown.
Thank goodness.
We can all sleep well knowing we have a resolution here that the Royals are going to be at Crown
Center and the chiefs are going to be in Wyandotte County.
And that's that after what five years of talking about these issues were there on an
historic transformational day.
I'm really curious to see what the publicly accessible parks and recreation areas are.
That's really interesting because there's not a ton of space here.
We'll see exactly what that is.
But that's that's pretty cool.
All right, K K H I's brought to you our friends at Roberts Robinson Chevrolet GMC and
Excelsior Springs ladies and gentlemen, I spoke with Tim Trader today.
He has put in the order for my new truck.
I'm getting a GMC Canyon Denali.
I'm very excited about this.
They don't make very many of them.
They are hard to find and hard to get.
Other dealers don't like to trade them with a dealer that doesn't have the one that you're
looking for.
You know, little inside baseball and on what they do and how they do this.
I think they nationwide, they were like 60 of Canyon Denali's allotted all week this
week anywhere in the country, not ordered bought by people.
That's what GM says they're building and dealerships are like standing in line to get
them.
So I'm going to have to wait a while.
I've ordered to be built.
And when they get their next allotment that includes a Canyon Denali, they can get
the other trim levels of Canyon, but the Denali levels a little harder to get.
I'm first in the queue.
So it may be three or four weeks before they let me know that the thing we built, he said
it could take three or four weeks after that to build it.
We'll get it delivered here within 10 days or so.
And I've got some add-ons that I want to put on at the dealership.
I'm very excited.
It was just the easiest thing in the world.
I know what I want.
Tim's going to take care of it all.
I'm going to sit back and relax and wait and drive out the last few miles on my five
and a half year old Chevy Blazer that I got at Roberts Robins.
What a great way to buy a car.
Get what you want.
Order it up.
Have it built as you like it.
Take your time.
Wait on it.
I'm no hurry for a new car.
I got my cars perfectly good.
They're awesome.
These folks are great to work with at Robert Robinson.

Ameenie's Galleria.
What a weekend to go to a meanie.
He's a hundred fifth of me.
I can't have an owner on park.
If you're looking for outdoor furniture, walk in there, mention the podcast.
They Kevin told me to at least sit on and consider O W Lee outdoor furniture in a cheap.
Okay.
They got all kinds of stuff in there that's fantastic to cost less.
I'm just telling you my experience.
I took the leap in 2010.
We are keeping the O W Lee furniture that we've had.
We just got new cushions.
The cushions are in and our 16 year old furniture has new cushions.
That's how good the furniture is.
If you even remotely are the type of person that says, I'm going to buy the best thing
and I'm going to keep it forever, you got to check it out.
Spend the extra money now.
You just run it out for 20 years.

In Trump world, you know, things change really fast here with the war, the ceasefire and
all the things are going on.
It's pretty obvious.
Iran, you know, we have five day after six days, almost six days, I'm recording this
left in the ceasefire and Iran is going broke.
The blockade has worked.
There's no money going in and out of Iran.
Their military is depleted.
It's gone.
They want to negotiate.
It's going to do that.
I wouldn't agree unless they agree to every single term.
I wouldn't do anything until the 11th hour on Wednesday when the ceasefire ends and I
would tell them I'm a little hell out of you.
You sign this deal or we're coming back.
We're coming back for more.
We're coming back.
There's just no reason to do it before then unless you get everything you want.
But as he was leaving today for an event in Nevada, he did the little chopper talk thing
where he stands outside the Oval Office and the Marine one's waiting for him.
And it's, you know, running, slightly running.
The rotors aren't going, but the engine's on and he's taking questions from reporters.
And a reporter says to him, Mr. President, Iran is set to kill several more people including
a woman protester for the very first time.
What do you have to say about this?
He said, tell that to the Pope.
What an answer.
Tell that to the Pope.
You know, Trump wins these feuds with people.
The Pope's out over his skis.
The next line I'd use with Trump when anybody asked him about the Pope, say if the Pope wants
to offer up his opinion on my job, he's an American.
He should resign as Pope, come back to America and run for president.
We're going to have an election in 2028.
He'll have name recognition.
He can see how many Catholics like his liberal policies.
He can run.
He's from Chicago.
He'll win an Illinois.
He can get Barack Obama's machine behind him.
Let's go, Pope Leo, come back and run for president and see how that goes.
That's what I challenge him.
I wouldn't say any more names, but, you know, Mike Johnson was right.
If you weighed into political waters, you better be prepared for response.
And the Pope did that.
And I thought this was a great line by Trump.
Trump's got to be tired of talking about people that are getting slaughtered.
Protesters being killed in Iran.
Why the hell do you think he's doing what he did?
I mean, does he have to shout it from a rooftop?
We know why he did it.
He's trying to create peace and save lives in Iran.
How many millions of lives will be saved over time if this works?
It is so worth the risk and it is such the right thing to do.
And you've got a Pope criticizing him and reporter says, what do you have to say when Iran
says they're going to, their reports, they're getting ready to kill, execute several more
people, including a woman for the first time that were protesters.
Tell that to the Pope and he moved on to the next question.
It was a fantastic answer.
Just a great answer.
Oh, you're going to like this story out of Tennessee.
Governor Bill Lee in Tennessee signs a resolution this week, changing June in Tennessee from
Pride Month to nuclear family month.
Oh, my head's exploding over this.
This is fantastic.
Everybody should do this.
I think the royals need to have a nuclear family night, bring the entire family to the
ballpark, mom, dad and the kids.
Bill Lee said God's design for familial, for family structure, the word is familial, but
I'll just for clarity, say God's design for family structure, there's a man husband
and a wife and children.
He went on to say husband, a wife and children are quote, God's perfect design for humanity
unquote.
In Tennessee, this June has dumped Pride month.
State of Tennessee will not recognize it.
They recognize June now as nuclear family month.
If you want to fight over these things, liberals, we're going to fight back.
God bless Donald Trump.
This would have never happened without Trump.
Every single thing I report to you every day on this podcast of a politician or a business
or a journalist or anyone anywhere fighting back against the liberal nonsense would never
have happened if it wasn't for Trump.
He is taught for now a decade.
He has taught millions of people to not take any of this spit from anybody, fight back.
You think you deserve a Pride month because you're different?
That's ridiculous.
How about we recognize what makes America great?
The nuclear family.
We built this country on that.
On Christianity and the nuclear family built everything we are today and everybody trying
to destroy it.
It'll work.
If we allow them to destroy it, it'll work.
This is just fantastic.
There are people absolutely melting down over this.
They took a Pride month away in one of America's states, what a great move by Governor Bill
Lee.
People of fraud stories for you, KSNT in Topeka reports that they have found through an investigation,
$1.2 million in Kansas snap benefits, food stamp benefits paid to people out of state.
They also report this is just the tip of the iceberg.
We haven't found it all yet.
We're going to keep working and investigating.
Meet thinks the attorney general should be looking into this.
How much has Laura Kelly been sending the people out of state and for what purpose and
how did this happen in Kansas?
$1.2 million isn't the end of the world, but if that's what they found so far, how much
is it?
$20 million?
$15 million?
I don't know.
But it's fraud and boy, we are finding fraud everywhere and Laura Kelly and the Democrats
in Kansas don't want any part of that story and they do not want an investigation.
An old fraud story is circulating and it's so good I'm going to share it with you.
It is not new news.
I've never heard this story before until today.
I'd never heard of Rita Cronwell and this is an incredible fraud story that predates
Doge and all that other stuff.
So this was several years ago.
Rita Cronwell.
It's circulating, making you think it's new.
With the second I saw it, I'm like watching the video of the news reports and stuff at
the time.
So you can tell by the close as much as anything else in the video quality.
Rita Cronwell from Dixon, Illinois was the comptroller charge the money.
She built for herself something called the Reserve sewer capital fund that looked on
the ledger every single year like a line item in the budget and the money would go in there
and the idea is it's reserve sewer fund.
We got bad sewer problems.
We've got this reserve fund and there's money in there.
It was all fake.
She took $53 million from the city of Dixon, Illinois as the comptroller over 20 years.
So that's about two and a half million dollars a year that she's siphoning off.
I'm going to guess if she took 53 million, there must have been 150 million in the fund
that she was bleeding it out but keeping money in there over the 20 years.
She purchased and owned 400 quarter horses, multiple farms and a $2.1 million motorhome.
She became the four time world quarter horse breeding champion with this money and it was
all fraud.
She was caught and convicted, which is great.
And the reason I'm telling you this today is that's an unbelievable story that you could
get away with that.
What she did, she served some jail time until 2024 when Joe Biden commuted her sentence.
And that was it and she's out free today.
I'm going to guess Dixon, Illinois is run by some Democrats and as the comptroller, she
was probably a donor to a whole bunch of really important campaigns and Biden letter
out unbelievable what happens in this country.
Senator Malook is the owner of sporting Kansas City and boy, he is just getting clobbered
by sporting fans.
They're terrible.
They were terrible last year.
He bought a terrible soccer team.
I don't know how much he knows about soccer.
He knows a lot about investments and he's got a lot of money.
He's such a wealthy owner sporting really shouldn't be outspent by a whole lot of teams.
Looks like to me, he could probably spend a lot of money on him if he chose to and if
you lose enough and you've got billions of dollars and I think he's upwards now like
three to six billion or something.
If you're losing enough and you have that much money, you'll spend it and thinking
you buy your way back, which is interesting because he posted something on social media
Thursday.
That's true, but doesn't really apply to sports now does it as he's taking heat from
sporting Kansas City fans for scoring only seven goals this year so far versus 17 for
opponents.
He agreed.
We're not very good.
Now does he solve that with excellence and the right people and all those things?
Or is he going to start spending more and more money?
I don't have the answer for you, but I know this.
Here's what he posted today and he's right about this, but it doesn't apply to sports.
Where government spending and subsidies are highest prices rise the fastest where competition
is higher prices fall.
Well, I think you and I knew that.
We believe that so my answer is like who knew, but he put a chart up that I can't explain
to you in a show because I just can't in audio.
You have to see the chart for yourself.
You want to go find him on social media, he posted it everywhere, it's Peter Maluk.
And it's really interesting.
The things that have gone way up, this is 2020 to 2025.
So it's four years of Biden, basically, well, almost two years of Trump and three of
Biden.
I think he was trying to be as generous as possible here and all of the things where people
competed, prices went down and it shows all the different areas and stuff where that happened.
Where competition like televisions plummeted, the cost of a television went way down over
five year period of time, electronics, ultra competitive with these massive tech companies.
There are no subsidies on the people making televisions where things went up, where things
were the government subsidized everything, housing, for example, is just they got their
tentacles in all of it and the prices went way up because there was no competition.
Everybody was getting money.
They were getting COVID handouts, HUD was involved.
They're getting grants to build buildings right and left.
And of course, all the prices went through the roof.
It's pretty interesting to see that.
I can't wait to see if he lives by that as he owns a soccer team or whether we hear reports
the next couple of years that Peter Maluk is spending money like crazy and brings in
some international superstar to energize this town that you couldn't previously afford.
That'll be very interesting to see if he does that.

I can't put into words how disgusting the Royals series was in Detroit.
They lost two to one, two to one and 10 to nine.
Tigers have their number clearly and the Tigers are going to be better than the Royals
and they don't hit very well.
The Tigers jumped out to a six to two lead today and you're like, okay, well, the Royals
got swept off to New York, they're not going to win on this road trip.
Which wasn't great.
Royals weren't hitting.
It's six to two and they come from behind.
They get within a run and Salvy hits a three jack on a 10-pitch at bat.
This was the weirdest thing ever.
They had a long rain delay before the game.
They had an umpire in the middle of the game get sick behind home plate caused like
a 20-minute delay because one of the field umpires had to go and put the gear on and come
out.
Nobody knew what was going on.
Then a 10-pitch at bat where it starts raining feels like the game's on the line in the
seventh inning and you know, the Royals are still down one and they get the three run
homer and they go up to and then the inning doesn't end.
The home run happens and on comes the tarp.
It's raining.
That's it.
Cover the field.
Let's take a nice long break.
They take a nice long break.
It's just unbelievable.
Tiger score run, get within one.
The Royals score one in the ninth in the ninth to go up to Vinny hits a home run.
It's an insurance run.
They're bringing in Erseg.
Nick Mears by the way suck today.
There was a lot of suckage out of the bullpen today, but it was bad.
So here comes Erseg.
You're like, okay, good enough.
He breaks a bat on the first one and the guy gets a single unlucky good pitch.
Then he walks a batter.
He's like, oh crap, there it is.
Time runs on base.
This is trouble.
Well, he gets a couple of outs.
It's going well.
He gets two strikes on their best player, Riley Green.
And Riley Green hits a hard hit ground ball to first base down the line inside the bag
maybe three feet.
My God.
Vinny Pasquantino.
What were you doing?
What on earth were you doing?
He was nowhere near the line.
That's the simplest little league thing in the history of baseball.
You got a two run lead.
You guard the line.
If you miss it to your right, Cagley owns got it.
And the guy from first base is not going to score.
You're up to, you can't let it get down the line and roll down into the corner, which
it did.
This is the royals do some of the dumbest crap that another wild pitch today will kill
them.
They're terrible.
They, it's like, oh my God, are they even paying attention?
This series, if the royals get better later this year, whatever, if, if they're seven
and 12 right now, only Chicago has a worse record than the American league.
They're seven and 12.
They did swing the bat well today.
Salve with the three run homer for our be eyes.
Bobby with junior hit three hits, three runs scored.
They looked offensively like the team the royals think they have.
They do.
They did that today.
But if the royals should somehow get back into a thing, it's a long season.
It absolutely can happen.
This is nothing a three or four game winning streak won't fix, but they're going to New
York now to play the Yankees.
If they find their way back into this thing and we get to September and it's a close
race within a game or two, remember this series.
This was some of the dumbest baseball I've ever seen.
They lost on a wild pitch.
They lost on a bad alignment.
They, they lost on my kill Garcia trying to Olay a hard hit ball that gets past him when
the only job he had was getting in front of it and knock it down and don't let the runner
at second base score because the entire game's on the line.
It's just insane.
They don't seem to know and understand when something matters like any of these things
happens in the third inning, you can deal with it when they happen in the eighth and ninth
inning and you're playing poorly defensively and they're not, they shouldn't be a poor
defensive team.
And then the left side should be the best defensively areas.
But if you don't have the awareness of how to play your position on the infield at that
moment, why wasn't Quattro or one of the coaches screaming?
From the dugout, that's the royals dug out in Detroit.
They're on the first base side.
Why weren't they screaming bloody murder?
Vinnie moved toward the line.
It's Riley green.
He's a left handed pole hitter and here came that big slow breaking ball and he ripped
a hard hit ground ball down the first baseline and Vinnie didn't get to it.
He dove at it.
He didn't make the play.
He was out of position.
The royals lost the game today because Vinnie passed when Tino was out of position.
I don't know who to blame.
I don't know whether they blame the coaches or Vinnie.
Don't have the answer for you.
All I know is I'm disgusted watching them play and I don't know why I keep doing it.
Why do I keep watching them if they're going to be this stupid?
I can deal with not being good that sometimes teams aren't good enough.
You don't have the right roster.
I can't deal with stupidity.
This series was so freaking stupid on so many levels.
I don't know something else related to the royals.

If you go to kksissues.com, you can click on become a patron and sign up and the podcast
is there with all the other patron podcasts.

I give away a lot of stuff to the patrons.
It's kind of fun.
It's fun to be a patron.
You'll enjoy it.
It's more program about three times a week.
I do a podcast or a little bit shorter than this one.
People like the newsletter on the weekend, kkhasissues.com, click on become a patron.
Danny's on.
We've talked about the ballpark.
We're talking about all the people that are against it.
The funniest thing to me is there are thousands and thousands of people in Kansas City, Missouri
that did the following.
They cried that the chiefs left.
They're bitching that the city is spending money on the royals and they voted yes on
a 1% earnings tax, income tax in Kansas City, Missouri.
These things are not compatible in any way, shape or form.
You can't possibly have that doesn't compute, that doesn't reconcile in any way that anyone
could be all three of those things, but there's thousands of them that are that way.
For the life of me, I don't understand it.
I asked Danny if it makes any sense at all that people are complaining about the royals
and the chiefs, but they passed a tax for 1% of their income.
Philosophically, I understand where they're coming from, but people also ignore that this
is common practice in doing other things.
Panasonic got more money than it's been from the state of Kansas than it's costing them
to build the entire project.
It's like loose change afterwards.
It's not logical, but we were living in an area of sports.
We were going to talk about the master's rating.
As great as they are, 80% of the people in the country weren't watching, they were doing
something else.
There are quite a few people out there who really don't care about sports much at all,
but if they care about the quality of life in their city, and I've said this all along,
since we started doing this in the 2006, was the first time when we attempted.
Most people who are saying the case great and all this and where's the parking and it's
a hassle to be downtown, first of all, they probably just don't ever, you know, they
don't care about city life, they don't.
And also, generally, they haven't gone to any of the places that have downtown baseball.
You know, uniformly, it's fantastic, it's a fantastic experience to go downtown stadium
or ballpark, especially a ballpark as it's outside at some time, I mean, it's just fantastic,
it's great.
I agree.
You know, so I think a lot of times people just, they have the convenience of government
stadium.
So the royals, since, you know, in our generation, they've only been good about what, 10 percent
of the time.
So generally, no, there's not big crowds, so it's easy in, easy out, go back to Johnson
County, the traffic isn't a problem.
It's awful.
And I've said this too, people who complain about the parking will gladly go to Arrowhead
and park 15 city blocks away and act like it's better because it's a parking lot.
Right.
Yes.
Everybody's going to be within a 10 minute walk of the new ballpark, everybody.
That's easy.
That's easy to pull off.
Do you know how many places at the far reaches at the Truman Sports Complex?
It takes longer than 10 minutes to walk to the gate.
Oh, no kidding.
It's everywhere.
So, no, listen, I had a couple people over the last couple of weeks call the radio show
and, you know, challenge me on this.
Oh, this is stupid baseball.
Nobody's going to go down there.
It's awful and, you know, one bad thing after another and I can understand if they don't
clean up security and crime and things like that, if that becomes a problem, that could
be a real deal.
The royals are going to have to figure that out and so is the city.
I get that part, okay?
But that's not going to happen initially.
And I ask every one of these people, when was the last time you went to Kaufman, Stadia?
And they, oh, they brag like this, oh, I don't remember the last time I gave those people
my money.
You know, I'm like, you're just grumpy.
This isn't for you.
Just say I hate baseball.
This is a bad idea.
I hate it.
That's fine.
That's a fine opinion to have.
But don't come on and say I'm not going because of this reason.
You weren't going anyway.
They could build it in your backyard.
You wouldn't open the curtains to watch.
Right.
The other part is if people, it's just a lack of understanding of life in a big city.
Yes, big cities are dangerous, but not when you're around 20,000 other people and there's
police everywhere at the least just to move the traffic along.
So, you know, right, walking around in New York City is not a good idea at 1030 at night.
It's fine.
If you're at Times Square, you're coming out of a show.
There's gobs of people there.
It's safe.
People don't pick those spots to commit crimes.
They don't.
Okay.
So what do you think of that area?
What do you think?
Okay.
Let's say they do get it open in 2030.
I think that's aggressive, but let's say they do get it open in the spring of 2030.
What do you think that entire area looks like five years after that 2035 with everything
that's developed?
What do you imagine is coming to that area because of the small park?
Well, it is kind of a small congested area and I think this will sort of come in.
I don't think it's going to be an onslaught of development right away.
I think it's going to come over time, but you know, there's a lot of things involved
here.
It's the team good and other driving big crowds.
People see that people embrace getting on the street car at the plaza and making it
super convenient.
This is not a community that has ever embraced public transportation in any way, shape
or form.
They like their cars.
They like to park.
They like the independence of it.
Hey, everybody in a perfect world would like to drive their own vehicle to within 500 yards
of where they're going and then get out and, you know, pay a few bucks to park or not
like at the plaza.
You know, that's just the mindset of Kansas City and so the joke is still out there.
I mean, the first question anybody asked about any of these things is parking, you know,
it's like my old, the parker family.
So it is a mindset type of thing, but a lot of young people now live in the downtown
Kansas City area as they grow up and maybe move to the suburbs.
They'll have a city experience and realize how enjoyable it was in their day and want
to go back there several times a year.
So there's a lot of things that play here, but I don't think we're going to, you know,
buy 35.
We're going to see some unbelievable amount of development down there.
I think it's going to be a little slower than that.
I think we are.
I hope so.
I think it's going to become its own ballpark village.
If the royals do the, you know, the retail right, the entertainment part right, the folks
that own Crown Center say, you know, we'll listen to them.
If they want to buy this, we don't know how they could reimagine that.
Certainly it is not as a shopping mall, but there's a lot of opportunities in there
to create entertainment venues and different things of that.
I think, you know, what we love to build in this town unfortunately is just apartment
after apartment, but I could see a couple of giant towers with 500 units in each one.
I could see that.
I could see people wanting to rent an apartment and be by the ballpark.
There are people that would just, this is the, I'd rather do this than be in the more
crowded part of the business downtown.
I like living down here, but there is a little easier space.
Even condos being built, the Western auto lofts been a desirable condo, condo units ever
since they changed that building around and did it.
I think there's going to be a lot of that and I think there's going to be people living
in the footprint of this stadium.
I'll say within, you know, four or five blocks either way, I think developers are going
to snap up this land really fast.
I do think they will, but development just in general takes, takes some time.
So I hope you're right.
And that within five years we're really going to see a great footprint of, as you say,
retail plus people living in the area and just walking over to the ballpark at their leisure
and things like that.
I'm hoping for that generally it's happened in almost every place where they've done something
like this and saying, Lewis, it hasn't quite worked with the newest ballpark.
People tend to go to the ballpark and leave there, but in most other places, it's not
the case and it's become, you know, hotbeds of entertainments.
I'd be interested in Denver, Cincinnati, all kinds of places.
I'll be interested to see if they get a hold of the Cornish company or somebody like
that that gets these federal grants, you know, that power light district was, was built
with federal money.
It's staying alive and losing money because we're pumping it in Kansas City, Missouri taxpayers
are.
But I'm curious to see how the royals decide what they want to do.
I've not been to the state even Atlanta.
I kind of want to go.
I kind of want to go just check it all out because that's been their model and it has everything.
It has, it has restaurants, it has shopping and entertainment as a luxury hotel.
It has everything and that's been their model.
And you know, John Sherman's got a lot of that isn't it, although that isn't it down
it's not, it's not, but that's their model of what they want to build.
That's what they want it to look like.
Everything that the braves have done is what they want to do.
And when you think about Malook, the guy that owns creative planning and edgily, one
of the royals investors who was at Bane Capital, we're talking now about billionaires,
billionaires, not Patrick Holmes, multi billionaires that are John Sherman's partners that
are in the real estate and investment business as their main business.
I think the money's coming.
I think you're right.
I just, I think maybe we disagree more about the timeline than the inevitability of it
being a success.
