Voters in Jackson County, Missouri, turned down a stadium tax plan that would have helped the Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas City Royals on Tuesday.
The futures of the Chiefs and Royals in Kansas City, Missouri, were thrown off on Tuesday after voters rejected a sales tax measure that would have backed major renovations to Arrowhead Stadium and helped fund a new ballpark for the MLB team.
The Chiefs sought to use their share of the tax revenue to help fund $800 million in renovations to Arrowhead Stadium. Ownership committed $300 million to the plan. 'We’re deeply disappointed as we are steadfast in our belief that Jackson County is better with the Chiefs and the Royals,' Royals team owner John Sherman said.
