Missouri governor signs stadium aid package intended to keep the Chiefs and Royals in the state
- Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe signed a stadium funding bill into law on June 14, 2025, in Kansas City, Missouri.
- The bill followed a special session called by Kehoe after Kansas passed a competing law allowing up to 70% state bond financing for new stadiums that expires June 30 unless extended.
- Missouri's Show-Me Sports Investment Act lets the state redirect income and sales tax revenue generated at stadiums to cover up to 50% of stadium costs, requiring local government contributions and meeting criteria like $500 million project cost and minimum 30,000 seats.
- Kehoe said lawmakers came together to deliver results that keep Missouri competitive and help retain the Chiefs and Royals, while the teams described the legislation as an important factor in their decision-making.
- The bill's approval supports Missouri's efforts to prevent the Chiefs and Royals from relocating, as counties now explore potential contributions to local financing amid ongoing options assessments.
