Governor Kehoe has signed a legislative package approved by state lawmakers that includes hundreds of millions of dollars in incentives to persuade the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals to stay in Missouri.
Both teams’ leases with Jackson County expire at the beginning of 2031, and lawmakers in Kansas have authorized bonds for up to 70% of the cost of new stadiums to be built in their state.
If they choose to stay in Missouri, the Chiefs have floated plans for a $1.15 billion renovation of Arrowhead Stadium, while the Royals have said they want to build a replacement for Kauffman Stadium.
