Yes, the recent success of Sporting Kansas City, which occurred AFTER THE HUNTS SOLD THE TEAM, proves that local ownership that is vested in the community is a good model for the future. The owners live, work, dine, shop and attend games with the rest of us. Aside from being zillionaires, they are accessible regular people. Because they live in the community and are part of the community they are keenly aware of the pulse of the city and surrounding areas. They understood building a spectacular new venue for the sport was a risk but one they calculated would pay off because it would be a living embodiment of their dedication and commitment to the sport and, more importantly, the city.

One Arrowhead drive now stands as a reminder of past glory and success. For the owners it is a cash cow relic. For the fans it is a cash cow money pit. The fact that neither team is successful and both have out of town owners making money in spite of dismal teams seems to be more than coincidence. It's a strategy.
