Missouri Governor Approves Stadium Funding to Retain Chiefs and Royals Within State
Missouri lawmakers approved a legislative package for financial aid to keep the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals in the state. Gov. Mike Kehoe signed the package over the weekend after calling a special session. The franchises’ leases with Jackson County expire in January 2031, prompting discussions about renovations and replacements. Missouri’s legislation offers bonds covering 50% of costs for new stadiums, tax credits, and local government aid. The Royals have explored sites in both Missouri and Kansas, while the Chiefs are considering a $1.15 billion renovation for Arrowhead Stadium. The legislation faced bipartisan criticism for potentially benefiting wealthy franchise owners and the constitutionality of property tax breaks.
