Chiefs threaten to move across state line to Kansas, we are officially entering a new golden age of NFL stadium giveaway demands


So that’s five straight posts about the Buffalo Bills owners’ plans to get around a billion dollars in public subsidies for a new stadium; what else is going on in the sports world, you may ask? Why, here’s a little news item in Sports Business Journal talking to Kansas City Chiefs president Mark Donovan, wonder what he has to say:Chiefs President Mark Donovan said the team is evaluating pitches from developers to build a new stadium in Kansas, across the state line from its historic Missouri home of Arrowhead Stadium. “Pretty consistently, we get inquiries from the state of Kansas, [that] if you’re going to make a change, what if you brought the stadium here?” Donovan said at the NFL annual meeting. That’s working pretty well for Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder, so why not? The idea that the Chiefs owners might demand stadium money is nothing new: It was already reported last year that the NFL team might piggyback on the Royals‘ owners’ own request for a new stadium with a “hey, us too!” plan.
