Tuesday’s special election results got people talking. Here’s what the most vocal commentators had to say about the 58% vote that rejected a Crossroads stadium:
@mocamber “‘Chill, they won’t move…' I remember people saying that about our NBA team we had too ... Salt Lake City and Nashville are already calling.”
@themariahkelli “If at first you don’t succeed, you go back to the drawing board and make it right for both parties to benefit. I hope they can get it together come August + the Royals propose something that benefits the community.”
@nicoleazx2 “Whew... Incoming Kansas and other counties ready to battle for our prize possessions 😹"
@asaini7 “Downtown has more vibrant upside potential without a ballpark there. Keep Crossroads as is. It’s one of the few areas of culture and arts in this city. Commercial/baseball stuff can go anywhere.”
@kincaid_loves_cats “I think a large contingent was voting no based on the tax premise, not what they were using the tax money for.”
@fourfriedchickensdrywhitetoast “I respect the decision as hard working people are exhausted by incremental taxes ... That said, this stadium, if we actually need a new one, belongs in NKC in my view. Sherman said it himself. Wrigley is his favorite baseball stadium. NKC seems a better version of Wrigleyville.”
