Originally Published 1 year ago — by NBC Sports
After failing to secure public funding for a stadium renovation, Kansas City Chiefs president Mark Donovan reiterated the team's plan to consider their options for the future, acknowledging the tighter time frame with six years left on their lease. The failed vote was reportedly not about the Chiefs or owner Clark Hunt, but rather about downtown baseball for the Royals, according to an SBJ report. The Chiefs' efforts to boost the measure were deemed a failure, and they are urged to accept and learn from it for their next funding endeavor.
