KC voters vote against tax extensions for stadium upgrades for Chiefs/Royals

Neither will leave the KC metro. Royals may move to KCK. I doubt the chiefs leave the Truman sports complex.

The future: Austin Chiefs

I was there last week and was charged an arena tax. $8 for the rental car and $6 for the hotel. And they don't even have a pro team there

Worst part is they passed that tax in like 2007 and they're still paying for it.

Good for them.

cities need to stop giving billionaires tax money

If Clark and his family skip the plastic surgeon for a year they’d have enough to pay for the upgrades.

Great job by KC. Team has made money hand over fist during this current run. Insane that the expectation is that they would still go to the city with their hat in their hand for a handout all in the name of raising ticket prices on those same tax payers

I would favor one option if I was a voter in a situation like this. The team can receive taxpayer money in exchange for equity in the form of partial team ownership. State, county, whoever puts up the money should be offered the option to own a part of the team.

But there's no way any major sports league or owner would agree to something like that.

Good for the voters. I hate the fact that my tax dollars fund an NFL franchise. KC's current "run" is making that franchise and the NFL billions, especially with the recent pop culture windfall in revenue thanks to TSwift. The NFL is assuring KC these wins, they should also be funding everything else with it, not tax payers.
