From all that I've read- the Nebraska Furniture Mart people not only started the discussions between Wizards owners and the KC-KS government- Nebraska Furniture Mart ALSO owns the land the Wizards would be buying with STAR (taxpayer-subsidized) bonds.
Why stop there NFM?
You people ought to relieve us poor Missourians of the Royals and Chiefs too!
It's time the Kansas side of this so-fragmented Metro started subsidizing ALL of Metro Kansas City's "pro" sports teams.
We'll sell you both stadiums too. Good luck trying to move them across the state line.
Let's quit this childish competing with OTHER metropolitan areas and start fighting amongst ourselves for the ever-shrinking pieces of corporate pie.
Better yet- lets just put up a 20-foot wall along the state line that runs the length of Metro Kansas City with checkpoint gates at major streets and highways.
Meanwhile- I'll just pretend Kansas City-KS and the Nebraska Furniture Mart don't exist....
