St.Louis has far deeper pockets than KC to maybe pull off getting an NBA it’s whether those pockets want to splurge on getting a team here & if NBA even wants to be in St.Louis. Seems like NBA
rather be in KC than St.Louis.

I don't think it matters to the NBA or shows their preference.

It’s even less than that. It’s a communications department of two college graduates making a joke on Twitter.RockChalkSTL wrote:This is some irrelevant company to the NBA saying that they want a team in KC.PlatinumBlues wrote: ↑May 15, 2025St.Louis has far deeper pockets than KC to maybe pull off getting an NBA it’s whether those pockets want to splurge on getting a team here & if NBA even wants to be in St.Louis.

Thanks Kansas City! If it weren’t for your unstable and self destroying border war, weak corporate citizenship, ineffective local politicians, and uninspiring team owners… the City of St. Louis would’ve had to consider their own money for Busch in 2027-2030. Plus the additional $100M in recovery funds made possible only by a special session will likely prevent STL from having to dip any further into its reserve funds.

Field of Schemes - Missouri senate agrees in middle of night to spend $1B+ on Chiefs and Royals stadiums in exchange for tornado relief, other goodies

The bill is written to be specific to venues only 30,000 and bigger and doesn't do anything for ancillary stuff like BPV or Power & Light.legendrey wrote: ↑Jun 05, 2025Curious if this might spark the next phase of BPV
Well yes, but I'd imagine this allows Cardinals ownership a little more financial flexibility/certainty. If part of the reason for holding off on the next phase was worries about having to spend on the stadium upgrades in the coming years like addxb2...alluded2

Also interesting that they wrote it 30,000+ so that Enterprise Center and T-Mobile Center were excluded.

This probably pushes Missouri up in line slightly for NBA/NHL expansion too
