US EditionMissouri Governor Says He'll Bring Lawmakers Back to Get a Plan for Keeping the Chiefs and Royals
- Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe announced on May 16, 2025, he will call a special legislative session in Jefferson City to address stadium funding for the Chiefs and Royals.
- This action follows the Missouri House approving Kehoe's Senate Bill 80 for stadium financing while the Republican-controlled Senate adjourned without considering the measure.
- The bill, dubbed the Show Me Sports Investment Act, proposes state bonds covering up to 50% of costs for stadium projects costing at least $500 million, with tax credits up to 10%.
- Kehoe described the package as a "huge economic development package," estimating costs between $2.5 billion and $3 billion for Arrowhead upgrades and a new Royals stadium.
- The special session aims to fully review the proposal, protect taxpayer interests, and attempt to keep the two teams in Missouri amid competition from Kansas incentives and previous local tax rejections.
