There are 2 Kansas City's - Kanssas City, KS and Kansas City, MO. They are next to each other, separated by the Kansas and Missouri rivers. KCMO is much larger than KCKS and KCMO is where the stadiums are - for now. The airport is in KCMO. If someone said they were going to 'Kansas City', most people would be thinking of the Missouri side of the metro, even if they incorrectly thought it was in Kansas. As for the Chiefs - I live in KCMO and this is a mixed bag. On one hand, the Hunts are worth 25 BILLION and can afford to build their own stadium without any assistance, but wanted some kind of welfare/socialism so they didn't have to foot the entire cost. The state of KS came thru for them. The area around the stadiums is run down and KCMO/Jackson County has never done anything to improve it or make it an after game destination. Once the games are over, you have to drive somewhere else for any kind of 'after game' activities. Hard to blame the Chiefs, but sucks that MO can't keep a team they've had for 50+ years. MO's deal seemed slapped together and couldn't compete with what KS offered. Our MAGA Governor and MAGA legislature were far more worried about gerrymandering, fighting to ban abortion, and getting rid of the citizen initiative process in our constitution than they were about the Chiefs, and Kansas took advantage. Bottom line, though, this was the Chiefs (Hunts) decision. Money wins again - another billionaire gets someone else to pay for a place for his team to play in.
