That's why I don't get why people think this will go back to Jackson County for a second vote - the plans weren't technically part of this vote, so it doesn't make sense they'd just do it again with different plans presented. The only thing that makes some sense is the idea of splitting out the Chiefs and Royals rather than lumping them together.

Technically doesn't matter. Talk with locals. The plans were very much a part of the vote.
We want to do this. Well, we might do that. Shit that won't work, maybe we'll do this. Damn you're mad, we'll do this instead. Look at these pictures! Shit, people are really pissed now. We'll leave that street. Maybe we can do this instead. This went on right up to the day of the vote. It was pure ignorance. The owner's perceived IQ and trustworthiness declined nearly every time he spoke about anything having to do with the stadium plans.
The Chiefs probably had no interest in doing so, but he'd have been better off letting them take the point while shutting up and sending his wife on a months long vacation without access to social media. A picture of a new stadium design with a "we hope to relocate to downtown at some point in the future" would have prevented him from now being ranked right up there with Frank White on the totem pole of city losers.
The idiot simply couldn't read the room's "post property tax debacle" mood.
