Posts about the Kansas City Chiefs: a new $1.8 billion stadium paid with public funds (described as the largest U.S. public subsidy for a sports stadium), confirmations of the team name “Kansas City Chiefs,” and coverage of the Royals’ related stadium decision as the Chiefs move across the state line.
Created 8 days ago • 38 documents • Range: 12/23 7:18pm – 12/24 12:33amHey look there’s a place that has even dumber and/or more sellout politicians than Nashville! Our largest public stadium subsidy record is about to be broken. My condolences to all affected taxpayers - Nashvillians & Tennesseans feel your pain 😭😭😭 (as do all the other taxpayers robbed for stadiums).
KS is willing to steal more from their taxpayers, to hand to billionaire owners who extort money from the communities where they're teams are based. Pro sports is full on elitist slop now. Most American's can't afford the price of admission and we're still forced to pay for a billionaires stadium.
Nothing is better than state and local governments giving billionaires money so they can help citiz...... Oh wait so billionaires can make more money? And then the billionaires charge the state to pay for their own concessions inside the stadium Sounds like the Clarks are taking handouts 🤔
Royals face tough stadium decision of their own as Chiefs move to Kansas https://www.rawchili.com/mlb/491437/ KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Now that the Chiefs are moving across the state line from their longtime…
"A new sports facility has an extremely small (perhaps even negative) effect on overall economic activity and employment. No recent facility appears to have earned anything approaching a reasonable return on investment. " www.brookings.edu/articles/spo...
"[A]greement is only exclusive negotiating term until next 10/31, after which Hunt can resume negotiating with MO if he wants. Chiefs can also back out early if they don’t have a site acquired by 5/15." (@fieldofschemes.bsky.social) www.fieldofschemes.com/2025/12/23/2...
The NFL is a studio sport. The physical location of the stadium only matters to the small (and well-heeled) proportion of fans who actually attend the games. And they can make eight drives a year to a different location if need be. For a municipality to throw money at an NFL stadium is lunacy.
Is it Kansas money or did they get federal dollars? If they are just local funds then I don’t care. They have already decimated their education system and this will just send it further down the national rankings. Folks from Missouri will still attend games but won’t have to pay more in taxes
To bore you further, Kansas City, Missouri, was chartered first, in 1850. The State of Kansas was crated in 1851. The city of Kansas City Kansas was created in 1872. So KCMO was a successful cow (slaughter) town and KCK wanted in on that actions. Bigger, richer KCMO said no. KCMO’s official name is
Bro has every statewide office, a supermajority in both chambers, was handed an 8 billion dollar budget surplus, and still had to call two special sessions. One to keep the Chiefs after it failed on the ballot and the other to gerrymander Missouri. White male privilege if I've ever seen it.
I think the Chiefs are making a huge football mistake. Financially though good move. But leaving the confines of Arrowhead where they have a YUGE advantage may be problematic. Look at the Cowboys. After leaving Texas Stadium for this ATT monstrosity, they have no home field advance. Just a caution.
More from KCBJ's Sydnie Savage. KCK and Olathe, where the stadium and training facility would go, will get "the opportunity to approve" pledging taxes in a district. State commits up to $2.775B in bonds so this theoretically would shift some state burden to them. www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/n...
