Episode notes
Move Is Local, Not Franchise Exodus
- Nick Wright explains Kansas City is mainly referring to the Missouri side and the Chiefs moving 20 minutes west still keeps them in the greater KC area.
- He argues such relocations are common and not equivalent to teams leaving a market entirely.
Record Public Subsidy For New Stadium
- Wright notes Kansas will provide $1.8 billion in public subsidies, the largest ever for a stadium.
- He criticizes public funding of sports but acknowledges smaller markets may need subsidies to keep teams.
Domes Favor Aging Quarterbacks
- The Chiefs' new stadium will be a dome starting in 2031, which Wright believes benefits Patrick Mahomes late in his career.
- He laments the NFL losing weather as a strategic and historical factor in games.
