Missouri Legislators Approve Stadium Funding and Disaster Relief Measures
In a significant move to retain the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals, Missouri lawmakers have passed a stadium funding bill along with $100 million in disaster relief for St. Louis. The bill, which is now headed to the governor’s desk for approval, sets aside $1.5 billion of future tax revenue to finance projects aimed at keeping the teams in the state. Business leaders in downtown Kansas City have expressed their support, while discussions about potential renovations to Arrowhead Stadium or constructing a new dome in Kansas continue. The decision could lead to a pivotal moment for the Chiefs, as they weigh their options amid intense legislative activity surrounding sports funding and disaster relief.
