BREAKING NEWS
Earlier this offseason, Jacob Cross elected to step down from leading Kansas City’s bid for an NAAF team. Since then, the NAAF has been in search of a replacement. It has been a very slow process thus far, and there has not been any concrete official leading candidates yet from NAAF sources.
NAAF Commissioner, Ryan Jameson, has met with Kansas City Officials about the project and the status of the stadium. The most recent update from the city is that they have given the NAAF 6 months to find a new owner before they will open up the project to be taken over by another party, potentially another league, or completely scrapped and redeveloped into something else entirely. At this point, the city does not wish to put too much more into the project without significant support; however, does hope that the stadium project is able to be completed.
Jameson has responded to the deadline with a sense of urgency around making sure the NAAF doesn’t lose out on KC. He is hoping to put more league resources into helping the project get finished, which will mean getting some of the other NAAF owners on board. Currently, Jameson is in Kansas City, working on finding a new owner. While there haven’t been any concrete candidates according to league sources, there are rumours circulating. Cal Hearn has been the most common name in the local news that seems to be involved and is interested in owning a team. Hearn is a local businessman who believes that the project will reap a lot of benefits for himself and the people of Kansas City. In fact, he has publicly expressed interest in the project and has reportedly met with Jameson, feeding the rumours that he is the most likely candidate.
