Patrick Mahomes tells Pat McAfee that the Kansas City Chiefs have to bring their best starting Week 1 against the Ravens. Missouri officials have argued that discussions about building new stadiums are still in the early stages. They said construction of a new one typically takes about three years and pointed out that the lease on the existing complex that includes the teams' side-by-side stadiums doesn't end until January 2031.
Kansas officials began working on the legislation after voters on the Missouri side of the metropolitan area refused in April to continue a sales tax used to keep up the existing stadium complex. The Royals outlined a plan in February to build a $2 billion-plus ballpark in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, that would be ready for the start of the 2028 season while the Chiefs were planning an $800 million renovation of their existing home.
"The Chiefs and the Royals are pretty much using us," said state Rep. Susan Ruiz, a Democrat from the Kansas City, Kansas, area who voted against the bill. The plan had support from throughout Kansas, including about half of the lawmakers from western Kansas, 200 miles away from any new stadium.
