Kansas City is a border city...half in Missouri and half in Kansas. When the Dallas Texans of the American Football League (AFL) relocated to Kansas City in 1963 and were renamed the Kansas City Chiefs, they played home games at Municipal Stadium, which they shared with the Kansas City Athletics of Major League Baseball. The A's left for Oakland after the 1967 season and were replaced by the expansion Kansas City Royals in 1969. Municipal Stadium, built in 1923 and mostly rebuilt in 1955, seated approximately 35,000 for football. As part of the AFL–NFL mergerannounced in 1966, NFL stadiums would be required to seat no less than 50,000 people. The City of Kansas City was unable to find a suitable location for a new stadium, so Jackson County stepped in and offered a location on the eastern edge of Kansas City near the interchange of Interstate 70 and Interstate 435. Voters approved a $102 million bond issue in 1967 to build a new sports complex with two stadiums.
Why is this question
Taxes are lower in Missouri
Because Kansas City is on both sides of the border, and primarily and largely on the MO side. That's where the investors want it, where the tax base is. People drive happily for miles to see the games.
The teams are both located in kansas city, mo. I can imagine that there was a better deal when the chiefs were moved from texas to kansas city, mo. Which is kansas city proper.
