Chiefs and Royals back 575 million stadium lease plan
Kansas City teams sign letters of intent for 25 year leases requiring 575 million in stadium renovations. Jackson County voters face April 4 vote on a 0.375% sales tax to fund 425 million of the cost, with teams contributing 125 million and state tax credits up to 62.5 million. Authority chair Michael Smith calls the plan a Christmas present while warning about budget overruns and possible voter concerns over costs and public subsidies.
