Downtown Kansas City Stadium Supporters Urge Voters To Sustain 'Momentum'

The newspaper carries this screed from the Question 1 "yes vote" crowd . . . 

Our take . . . 

KANSAS CITY HAS INVESTED HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF BUCKS IN DOWNTOWN AND STILL LOSES MONEY!!!

Accordingly . . . This call-to-action is really more of a double down effort . . . Very much like a gambler on a losing streak:

"We find ourselves at a pivotal moment in Jackson County, where the convergence of sports and economic development presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Kansas City sports is in a golden era: three Super Bowl wins and a World Series champion in a decade, plus the first stadium ever built for a professional women’s team. Keeping the teams in Jackson County attracts fans and businesses, allowing us to continue competing with other sports cities for World Cup games, investment and growth.

"On April 2, Jackson County residents must decide whether to continue the decadeslong partnership with the Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas City Royals — or put it all at risk. As leaders who are invested in the prosperity and vibrancy of Jackson County, we urge a yes vote on Question 1 to keep this incredible momentum going."
