Voters decline funding for new stadiums for Kansas City franchises, Royals and Chiefs
Residents of Jackson County, Missouri rejected a sales tax measure that would have funded a new ballpark for the Royals and major renovations to Arrowhead Stadium. The initiative failed with over 58% of voters against the plan. The Royals and Chiefs had pledged significant amounts of private funding for their respective projects. Both teams are now exploring their options, which could include seeking public funding from other cities or states. The current lease at Truman Sports Complex lasts until 2031, and while the Royals are seeking a new ballpark, the Chiefs want to renovate Arrowhead Stadium. The teams faced criticism for lacking transparency in their plans.
