As a single county, why build a $2B+ stadium when you can get the entire state next door to do it?

So everyone said no to 3/8 for both teams, but now they think people will want to pay the same amount for only the Chiefs? That seems... optimistic.

Bragging rights. Tax revenue. Sales tax on money spent at the stadium Billions of reasons over 40 years.

The Missouri/Kansas thing is a major flashpoint for this area. This would be a very clear "last chance" to keep the Chiefs from moving to Kansas. It also probably funds a much better stadium plan than what was on the table for Arrowhead last time. |

I am curious how the property tax issue will have an affect this time. Those people were a hard core **** anything involving a tax and Frank White's crooked ass was fire to the flames. Some more time will have passed, but dumping the Royals may not be enough for them to forget about that ordeal. |

Clark Hunt addressed the media this week and to me it seemed like they are gonna do a rebuild instead of a renovation. Every time he talked before it seemed like he was leaning towards a renovation, but it definitely sounds like they're steering away from that now. |

As for tax revenue, no. It's well documented that cities struggle to break even on pro sports deals. Remember this business is only open about 12 days out of 365. And, most of the money spent at the stadium would have been spent in the metro anyway, it's not new money, it's just siphoning money from other businesses like the local pub or bowling alley. It makes a lot more sense to have your neighbor pay for the stadium while you sell a few plane tickets and some bbq. |

And the NFL got numerous contract deals during the LA extortion. They were clear a new team was headed to LA and the Rams were one of the last teams to get a deal done. The league moved them even though the city voted yes, then the NFL had to pay st Louis 800 million. I can't imagine worse optics than that. Last edited by vonBobo; 07-25-2024 at 06:25 AM.. |

2. If the Chiefs move across state line, the money spent at the Chiefs game is still going to be spent at the Chiefs game. Which means all that revenue is now being generated in Wyandotte County or Johnson county, rather than Jackson county. That money isn't going to go from the Chiefs to the bowling alley or local pub, unless the Chiefs completely move out of the metro. The state of MO also has a jock tax, that I think is 2% of earnings. So it has incentive to keep tax revenue there, too. I know there are financial studies that generally show stadium funding is neutral at best for the area. But Kansas City has some unique factors.

The Star bonds would take 100% of the sales tax from alcohol in the district.
They would only have to beat 30M that gets generated for KC. All the liquor. All the gambling. And I’m sure if they want that 1% from the game checks they can pass that too. Missouri will have to care about the welfare of billionaires.
