I'm not a KC local so I don't really pay attention to much. But, most of my friends from College live in or around the KC Metro. I think where the Stadiums sit now are fine, easy to get to, and not super bad leaving. But, the ownership groups definitely want to get them out of "Raytown" the City they actually are in and move them to different/not necessarily better locations. My KC friends definitely don't like the idea of the Royals moving to down town KC. I haven't paid much attention to the group chat on their feelings about the Chiefs moving to out near the speedway. But, as popular as the Chiefs are around here. And as long as they have Mahomes and they keep winning. I don't think it matters where the stadium is, the Chiefs fans will grumble about the move or the costs but still go to it.
Chiefs threatening to leave Kansas City?

Two things. The stadium isn’t in the city of Raytown. It’s about five or ten minutes from Raytown.
Also the stadium is an absolute bytch to get out of.
Just always associated it with Raytown. My buddy lives in Raytown and the Stadiums were like a straight shot from his house. Been to only a handful of Chiefs games so guess we got lucky. We've never had issues leaving Royals games. Go to those multiple times every year. Guess I missed the sign that said leaving Raytown entering Kansas City. My bad. The guys I know that live in South KC?, Lee's Summit, Independence, Grandview, Belton etc. Don't really complain about the drive so I have a tainted view.

It ain't like it's crazy far. About a 5-10 minute drive. shyt you can hit Raytown just driving down Blue Ridge Parkway and hooking a left on 63rd and you in Raytown. The couple of games I been too at Arrowhead and it was a huge logjam with everybody all trying to get on Blue Ridge Parkway. There needed to be more outlets. I will say it could be better now since I ain't been in like 10 years. I just remember that night, it took so damn long to leave Arrowhead that it cost us some p*ssy because the shorties we was with sobered all the way up and was ready for bed by the time we got to their spot lol.

i could see this happening as Independence (more or less the town they play in) is an isolated shythole... itll never host anything
and the metros growth is already concentrated in Kansas... they just lookin for a reason

Arrowhead is closer to midtown KCMO than Independence and KCKS metro is not even remotely in the ballpark (no pun intended) of KCMO.
Kansas doesn't have anything similar to Power & Light, The Plaza, etc.

dont think they will leave...but the players not happy from the grades from the NFL PA thing
they def need to upgrade/make some changes
winning cures everything but look at how the players view the organization
Andy probably walk around the building looking at everyone like
The speedway/Legends is like 15 miles from downtown KCKS.
Power & Light is downtown KCMO.
There's a ton of sh*t further out in Kansas but if you want to be closer to....for lack of a better word, civilization....Missouri is easier to access.

Having said all that I don't care if they move the stadium to Kansas, their other ideas (Crossroads, and if I remember correctly directly in the middle of downtown KCMO) would be a nightmare. Traffic downtown is already bad enough.
