Chiefs and Royals to Pursue Independent Stadium Plans After Voter Rejection

The Kansas City Chiefs and Royals will develop separate stadium strategies following a decisive public vote against a shared funding proposal.

Following a failed public vote, the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals will no longer collaborate on a joint stadium funding initiative.
Voters in Jackson County rejected a proposed sales tax increase aimed at funding renovations for Arrowhead Stadium and a new ballpark for the Royals.
Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt emphasized the need for the teams to pursue independent paths to address their stadium futures.
Potential plans include renovations at Arrowhead for the Chiefs and a new location for the Royals, with each team exploring separate funding strategies.
The decision marks a significant shift after decades of shared history at the Truman Sports Complex.
