In addition to legislation addressing the Kansas City Royals and Chiefs' stadiums, the special session will also focus on tornado relief for St. Louis and several projects that failed to get funded at the last minute.
The Missouri General Assembly convened a special session to address funding for new stadiums for the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals, following a failed ballot measure in Jackson County that would have extended a sales tax to fund the projects. Governor Mike Parson called the session after the teams threatened to relocate if funding wasn't secured. The session, which began on May 28, 2025, focuses on approving a new funding mechanism, possibly through state bonds or tax incentives, to keep the teams in Kansas City. Local leaders and fans are closely watching the developments, as the outcome will significantly impact the region's economy and sports culture.
