Why should people in Central and eastern Missouri be required to finance something for Kansas City. Totally insane.

Max DeYoung

I don't even like Taylor Swift.

Bill Douglas

The rest of the state is paying $200M for all the new stuff being built at UM football stadium in Columbia MO. No care about that???

Eric Smith

Just more political corruption. They know they can do it and get away with it. They did it with Busch stadium and the additional ballpark village.

Robert

How is this any different then if I ask for public funding to build on to my house?

Good for state morale. Less good for state revenue. Less good for residents who wish to attend games as ticket prices soar. But it keeps MO in national eye which is good for state economy.

Subsidizing private multi-billion dollar sports teams is not in the scope of a state government. Or any government. If progressives want to make the claim of letting billionaires, like the Hunt family, "to pay their fair share" well here's the time to make that claim.

Bill Douglas

Really? But no complaint whatsoever about the $200M for football stadium suites at the University of Missouri ?? Hypocrite!

Toasty

No, but I understand the need for 'bread and circuses'.

Bill Douglas

How many University of Missouri games you spend money going to? Being in Columbia it is practically a religious experience for you college communists
