Very true. In terms of alignment a team in KC would make sense for the NHL, but it’s those other factors that I think would give Seattle a significant leg up.

I don’t think KC could swing that. I don’t doubt that they’d support it (provided the team was good) but there really isn’t any local ownership group in this region that could realistically pull down an NHL team. The Hunt family (Chiefs) are big hockey fans but I don’t know that they’d be interested in owning both the…

Yeah the north and eastern parts of Kansas aren’t horrible, not great either. You get quite a bit more terrain the closer you get to Missouri...but Western Kansas (which is most of Kansas) is just awful. The Flint Hills are cool to drive though, unless you’re like me and driving through them every two to three weeks.…

Yes! The joyers! Fucking idiots. I am also a member of the Facebook group!

35, especially between 75th/87th and basically 635, is a goddamned mess. All hours of the day it seems like...don’t even get me started on Shawnee Mission Parkway. Driving from Liberty to Merriam...I’m surprised you’re not already dead. I drive from the Plaza to Lenexa each day and I’m surprised I’ve not had an…

I live in Kansas City, Missouri about 10 blocks from the state line and I can confirm that Kansas has the worst drivers. I work primiarly in Johnson County and Central Kansas and despite living here nearly 10 years now I am still amazed day in and day out at the stupidity I see in this state.

Would you rather watch a 10 minute video of someone dicing 9 onions?

Well to be fair Kansas City is really just a well known suburb of Overland Park, Kansas. I’ve lived in KC for about 10 years and I’d argue the drivers here are awful. The State of Kansas in particular is really bad. People here are slow, and I’m not saying everyone should be raging around all over town either. What…

Let us also not forget that lane splitting (which is what that motorcycle did) is perfectly legal in California.

So what constitutes an “actual city” then? Just New York, Chicago, and LA? I live in “flyover country” (whatever the fuck that’s supposed to be) and I deal with this shit on a daily basis. And honestly, cutting across two lanes of traffic that quick (even with your fucking turn signal) while there is congestion may…

Yep. I live near the State of Kansas and the State Troopers out here use a mixture of blue, grey, silver, and white on not only their Explorers but their other cars too. Local cops use Explorers too and they can come in any number of colors and paint schemes. Now that I think about it the Explorers are pretty much the…

Nope. The CVC isn’t going to let another sports team in there. They’re getting too much interest for conventions (the Dome is connected to the convention center). The Dome is expected to turn a profit this year because the Rams left. When the Rams were in town the CVC wasn’t allowed to use the Dome for conventions and…

I see what you’re saying, but throughout the entire process the NFL kept telling us we had a shot, keep going, you’re doing well, you’re hitting the benchmarks, St. Louis is an important market for us, etc. In the City’s mind (and the State’s mind, keep in mind the Governor of Missouri, and his appointed task force,…

Considering the pushback the proposed ownership group for a MUCH cheaper MLS team is getting from not only residents but dozens of city and state officials (including the Governor-Elect) I’d say your wrong. Fuck the NFL.

The St. Louis mayor has already shut down any chance of the NFL returning. We’re done.

I have no doubt they don’t care about those numbers. Stan Kroenke doesn’t care about ratings and fielding good teams, he cares about making money off real estate which is what this whole thing was about.

I don’t know about attendance numbers in LA vs STL (the Coliseum is much larger then the Dome) but I do know that when the Rams were in St. Louis they never once had TV ratings as low as the Rams already have in LA.

Fair enough and sorry for the snark! It was actually originally built on spec without a commitment from any team. Total mess lol. Welcome to St. Louis!

Eh. I grew up in St. Louis and now live in KC and travel to Wichita frequently for work. St. Louis may not be Chicago or New York but the City of St. Louis is rather dense, walkable, and many of the oldest neighborhoods have stunning architecture. The suburbs are god awful, but the City proper is much more of a city…

People that live in St. Louis should know these things:
