Kansas City sports teams dodge a bullet

Well, here's some good and maybe even surprising news for Kansas City today. There's a list out right now on Yahoo! News from 24/7 Wall Street of "The 12 major league teams running out of fans" and get this--we're not on it! Yahoo! I thought sure the Royals might be, if even at the bottom of the list. Oakland Raiders? Athletics? Yes and yes, but not us. We may not be winners in the last couple decades, at least, but at least we're loyal, eh?

Good news/bad news, Kansas City

The good news first: our metropolitan area is going to get a LOT of national attention this Monday, when first the Kansas City Royals baseball team plays at the stadium at 2:10 against the Oakland A's (you know, the former Kansas City team). Go, Royals! Then, that will empty out at about, oh, RUSH HOUR, so, at 6:30 the gates at Arrowhead Stadium will open for a 9:15 kickoff for the Kansas City Chiefs football team can play the San Diego Chargers. Yowza. That's a wholelotta' sports, a wholelotta' national media attention and--bad news--a wholelotta' crazy automobile traffic on one side of town, all at about the same time. Guarantee: it's gonna' be some kind of crazy over there. Heads up, Kansas City--here it comes. With patience, we'll all do fine. (But guess who works out East, by the stadiums? I think I'll leave work early, to get away from all that craziness.) Here's hoping this perfect weather holds. Have a great weekend, y'all.
