After a ballot initiative for stadium funding in Missouri failed last month, a developer in the Sunflower State is making a pitch to bring the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals across the border.
New renderings designed by a Kansas developer show a domed home for the Chiefs.
Though this is merely a conceptual design, and neither team has stated its intention to move to Kansas, the new-look stadium may prove to be too much for the Chiefs to pass up on, especially if the state funds most of the development.
Last month, voters in Jackson County, Missouri, rejected sales tax legislation that would have included major renovations to Arrowhead Stadium.

According to John Holt of Fox4 in Kansas City, the proposed new home for the Chiefs would be near Kansas Speedway and Children’s Mercy Park in the Legends, about 30 minutes from Arrowhead Stadium.
Fans on the Missouri side of the border are sure to be incensed by the prospect of the Chiefs leaving for Kansas, but as no move is imminent, there isn’t anything for them to worry about … yet.
