Missouri approves stadium aid for Kansas City Chiefs and Royals and disaster relief for St. Louis
Missouri lawmakers have approved hundreds of millions of dollars of incentives to try to persuade the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals to keep playing in Missouri. A bill given final approval Wednesday also provides millions of dollars of disaster relief following tornadoes in St. Louis and elsewhere. The legislation now goes to Gov. Mike Kehoe, who called lawmakers into special session. The Chiefs and Royals currently play in side-by-side stadiums in Kansas City, Missouri, under leases due to expire in 2031. Missouri is competing with Kansas to be the site for new or renovated stadiums.
