The problem is, you guys are terrible at multi tasking. Mizzou is a distant second to Cardinals fans.
There is no reason for anyone from KC to have an inferiority complex to STL. You guys have a better sports history, but KC trumps STL in livability, crime rates, economy, etc. Kansas City is simply a better city than is St. Louis. Y'alls prime passed in the early 1900's. DWI
Well if we are going to be fair about your "comparison" it would have to encompass the entire metro areas of both KC and STL.
Regardless, we are lucky to have both urban areas in our Mizzou footprint. They are both equally important and the longer that legacy parochialisms
segregate our fan base the worse we will be collectively in the long run.

I agree with this. Both are fine cities, but I find that many St. Louis folk portray a sort of superiority over Kansas City folk and it's just not accurate. Sure in sports terms St. Louis is the breadwinner of Missouri, but comparing city to city it's just not true. St Louis is the older, more well known and historic city. But Kansas City is younger, growing, and has many of its own great qualities such as BBQ, jazz, and suburban life, as well as a growing population vs the decline in STL. I intend no flame to STL, as it is an incredibly important and major part of my beloved home state, but I feel that many of the citizens there lack a certain perspective.
