The Kansas City Royals are showing how NOT TO go about asking for taxpayer help with a new ballpark

In November of last year, the Kansas City Royals finally told the world that they would be leaving their current ballpark for a new one in 2030! The plans included the ballpark being downtown and the total cost being around $2 billion. The Royals owner, John Sherman, claimed in a letter to fans that a new ballpark was financially necessary for the team’s future success. He also mentioned that a…

Kauffman Stadium 95-03 by Archmagechemosh for MLB The Show 24

“I have the bull pen tunnels in there, but I did not create the pitchers mound or any of that stuff since it is already on the playing field side lines, and I kind of forgot at the end, to be honest. Memory was weird in this build.”

“It was a complete recreation with keeping the ideas of the previous builder in mind. But I had to give it a full Arch branding lol” -Archmagechemosh

BASEBALL PRIMER: The League

Here is the tag where you can find all the posts.

In this post we'll be talking about the league itself and how it's structured. It's pretty simple as far as leagues go, but I've also grown up with it structured like this, so I think it's still a great idea to cover it.

MLB is split up into two 'leagues': the American League (AL), and the National League (NL). Each league is split up into divisions. I would say you could think of them as conferences, but I don't think even that is right, because you can have two teams in the same region of the US in a different league. Currently, both leagues have an equal number of teams at fifteen each.

We'll start with the National League below the cut.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

The NL was established in 1876 and is sometimes called the "Senior Circuit". It originally started with eight chartered teams, and some of them are still around today: Chicago White Stockings (not to be confused with the CHICAGO WHITE SOX; this team became to be known as the CHICAGO CUBS), Boston Red Stockings (not to be confused with the BOSTON RED SOXS; the original Boston Red Stockings became the BOSTON BRAVES, then the MILWAUKEE BRAVES, and are now known today as ATLANTA BRAVES). However, this was at the very beginning of the leagues creation, and so teams came and went, but there are still some teams who have survived 100 and some odd years later: Cincinnati Reds, Los Angeles Dodgers (originally Brooklyn Dodgers), Pittsburgh Pirates, and the St Louis Cardinals.

Now, the league is split into three divisions. I will be indicating which year they were brought into the league, and their stadium.

National League East

Atlanta Braves - 1871, moved to ATL in 1966 - Truist Park

Miami Marlins - 1993 - LoanDepot Park

New York Mets - 1962 - Citi Field

Philadelphia Phillies - 1883 - Citizens Bank Park

Washington Nationals - 1969 - Nationals Park

National League Central

St Louis Cardinals - 1892 - Busch Stadium

Chicago Cubs - 1903 - Wrigley Field

Cincinnati Reds - 1890 - Great American Ballpark

Pittsburgh Pirates - 1891 - PNC Park

Milwaukee Brewers - 1969 - American Family Field

National League West

San Francisco Giants - 1958 - Oracle Park

Los Angeles Dodgers - 1958 - Dodger Stadium

Colorado Rockies - 1993 - Coors Field

Arizona Diamondbacks - 1998 - Chase Field

San Diego Padres - 1969 - Petco Park

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Established 25 years later and referred to as the "Junior Circuit". For a long time, and even still kind've today, the AL has had slightly different rules than the NL. For example, up until a couple of years ago, the AL was the only league to sanction a permanent DH. In the NL, pitchers were still allowed to hit and did more often than not. But the NL ended up adopting the ALs rule, and now they're even again. The AL also has some historic teams as well, and because the NYY are a part of their league, the AL has the most World Series wins.

The AL is divided up similarly as the NL.

American League East

Baltimore Orioles - 1954 - Oriole Park at Camden Yards

Boston Red Sox - 1901 - Fenway Park

New York Yankees - 1903 - Yankee Stadium

Tampa Bay Rays - 1998 - Tropicana Field

Toronto Blue Jays - 1977 - Rogers Centre

American League Central

Chicago White Sox - 1900 - Guaranteed Rate Field

Cleveland Guardians - 1900 - Progressive Field

Detroit Tigers - 1901 - Comerica Park

Kansas City Royals - 1969 - Kauffman Stadium

Minnesota Twins - 1961 - Target Field

American League West

Houston Astros - 1962 - Minute Maid Park

Los Angeles Angels - 1966 - Angel Stadium

Texas Rangers - 1972 - Globe Life Field

Oakland Athletics - 1968 - Oakland Coliseum

Seattle Mariners - 1977 - T-Mobile Park

Guys my dad said that if I kept my grades where they’re at right now for the rest of the school year he’d take me to see Guns N’ Roses at Kauffman stadium this summer! So yes I will be actually trying for once.

(But also this might just be because he knows that my little neurodivergent ass needs motivation to do well in school)

And that's just parking for attendees.

That's Kauffman and Arrowhead in KC, surrounded by their massive parking lots (those little dots are cars).

I took this photo from the GEHA gate at Arrowhead just before 9 AM on New Years Day. So that's what it looks like on a game day.

That lot up there, circled in red? That used to be a drive-in movie theater. Now it operates as one of the employee parking lots for the stadiums. They take us from that lot to the stadium by school bus.

It's broken all around. Every once in a while they tease us with the idea of a light rail system along the I-70 corridor, but it's never going to happen. Not in Missouri.

Speaking of I-70, that's the big strip of road going through both of those maps. The timing of one of the Chiefs' preseason games last year meant folks were trying to get into the stadium during rush hour. Traffic on 70 is ridiculous on game days, and it's ridiculous during rush hour. Combine the two, and we had folks spending two hours in line just to get into the parking lots at the stadium. Where, as you can see, they still have a long-ass walk just to get into the venue.

But something something freedom means we can't have public transportation or whatever.

The Kansas City Royals screwed themselves yet still blame everyone else

The Kansas City Royals lost yesterday. Local taxpayers decisively rejected a sales tax plan that would have provided funding for a new ballpark and stadium renovations (for the Chiefs). Clearly, the public said no thank you to funding another billionaire owner’s venue while receiving nothing in return. Why couldn’t locals see that this deal was worth it? The Royals committed nearly every blunder…
