Kansas Approves Plan to Lure Kansas City Chiefs with New Stadium
Imagine Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes tossing four touchdowns in a game and pumping up the home crowd—not at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri, but in Kansas. This scenario could become reality as Kansas lawmakers approved a plan to help the Chiefs build a new stadium in Kansas.
This week, Kansas legislators passed a bipartisan measure to authorize state bonds to finance new stadiums and practice facilities for the Chiefs and the Kansas City Royals. The plan allows Kansas to cover up to 70% of the costs with bonds paid off over 30 years using revenues from sports betting, state lottery ticket sales, and new sales and alcohol taxes from the districts around the stadiums.
Governor Laura Kelly supported the measure, stating, “The bipartisan effort to invite the Chiefs and Royals to Kansas shows we’re all-in on keeping our beloved teams in the Kansas City metro. Kansas now has the opportunity to become a professional sports powerhouse.”
Meanwhile, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson expressed interest in bringing the Chiefs back to Texas after Missouri voters rejected a tax extension for Arrowhead Stadium renovations. Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt, based in Dallas, revealed the team is considering new options once their lease expires in 2030.
In other news, Chiefs defensive end Isaiah Buggs has been arrested for the second time this offseason, facing charges of second-degree domestic violence and burglary. Previously, he was charged with misdemeanors in an animal cruelty case. Buggs, who joined the Chiefs practice squad in January and earned a Super Bowl ring, has been signed to their 90-man roster.
