But as a concert/event developer, isn't the question usually what is the best site I can find? Not is this site slightly more viable than some other site...
All the locations suck for stadiums? Or there are no possible new locations for events and concerts that don't suck?

You're absolutely right, not ideal, but viewed through the lens of:
1) most importantly, cost effective football stadium (land acquisition, scraping thousands of tons of dirt, utilities etc so expensive in new site)
2) how do I increase revenue streams? Legends already has tenants...it's possible to build some Chiefs-related ancillaries, but they would outright own ALL ancillary entertainment/hotel activities at TSC). Plus Bonner already has outdoor concert for bigger shows nearby.
Yes, there are better sites for entertainment districts, but for a Chiefs-related Dist? I don't know where...OP is family-land, a fantastic place to raise kids, but let's face it, nobody travels OP for nightlife. Same for Northland. To me, the Legends is touristy, corporate, and kid-oriented, plus not centrally located. Maybe that's where they land due to relatively inexpensive acres, it is the only other viable option, but I think it overall be a negative compared to current game day experience.
