Arrowhead Stadium

The University of Kansas announced in January that it would play some of its home football games at Arrowhead Stadium. Since that time, KU has been negotiating with the Chiefs and hadn't reached an agreement three days before the game.

The Jackson County Legislature voted Monday against placing the proposed sales tax on the November ballot. It would have only supported the Chiefs in a play to keep the team in Missouri, leaving negotiations with the Royals to Kansas City and Missouri.

Kansas City's mayor joined KCUR's Up To Date for a discussion about the future of sports in the metro — including the pressure around keeping the Chiefs and Royals, and chaos in the committee helping to organize the 2026 World Cup.

Jackson County voters will decide Tuesday on a sales tax extension that would fund a new Royals baseball stadium in the Crossroads. But a lot of things have changed in just the last few weeks. KCUR's Celisa Calacal and Savannah Hawley-Bates explain what we know and don't know about the stadium plan, and what might happen after the vote.

KCUR asked members of the Kansas City Council and the Jackson County Legislature how they plan to vote on the stadium sales tax on April 2.

Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas expects to vote 'yes' when he weighs in on Jackson County's 3/8th-cent sales tax extension April 2. But, with many unanswered questions about how the Royals downtown ballpark would affect businesses and the community, the mayor wants answers soon.
