Will Kansas City Devise Plan To Keep Chiefs Under Six Month Deadline?!?

Their talk about a decision in six months should light a fire under local politicos and spark a great deal of attention about keeping the team inside city limits.

However . . .

PROGRESS REPORT SO FAR: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND FIERCE OPPOSITION FROM TAX FIGHTERS!!!

The biggest challenges at this point . . .

- Exec Frank White has been a consistent road block to accomplishing any deal and it's worth considering that he has earned some surprising accolades for his tough negotiating tactics. 

- Tax fighters inside Jackson County seem successful via social media when they attempt to bully any kind of public/private partnership -- Even if that's the way that MOST cities fund these ventures.

- Kansas has submitted impressive numbers . . . Meanwhile Missouri must wait on the outcome of the governor's race and only the Guv Lite Mike Kehoe seems open to looking at using state funds to keep Kansas from earning an economic border war kill shot. 

Nevertheless . . .

Locals should be encouraged that the Chiefs seem open to staying put given there's no other place in the world that will give them as much leeway as Arrowhead . . .

Team president Mark Donovan said the team staying in a renovated Arrowhead is "very much an option" and building a new stadium at the Arrowhead site is in play too.

"We have to look at a new building,'' Donovan said. "We're open to it. We're open to a new building on the complex, we're open to a new building somewhere else. We're open to a dome or an outdoor [facility] as a new building. We're also very open to renovating GEHA Field at Arrowhead because I think it's iconic. It's something that's unique. We'd love to be able to do that.

"Six months from today, we're going to have to have a really good idea of where we are," Donovan said. "It may not be done done, but we need to have good idea."
