The Kansas City Chiefs and Royals are facing uncertainty after a sales tax vote to fund stadium renovations was rejected by Jackson County voters. The Chiefs had planned an $800 million renovation for Arrowhead Stadium, with the Royals also seeking a new downtown stadium, but will now have to explore other financial options. Team officials expressed disappointment with the outcome and are considering their next steps, including the possibility of relocation. Despite the setback, efforts are underway to keep the teams in Kansas City, with the Chiefs' current lease at Arrowhead Stadium running through 2031.

The Kansas City Chiefs may consider relocating if an upcoming sales tax vote fails, with team president Mark Donovan stating that leaving Kansas City would be an option. The team has proposed an $800 million renovation for Arrowhead Stadium, with plans to contribute $300 million and seek the rest from a sales tax extension. Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt has emphasized the importance of financing for the renovation and stated that the team won't sign a new lease without it. Politicians fear that both the Chiefs and the Royals could leave if the tax isn't extended, and the outcome of the vote on April 2 will determine the future of the teams in Kansas City.
