There is no way the Chiefs ever go to Kansas. Mother****ers over there don't like coming up with new taxes and don't support collective shit that attracts people to their neighborhoods.
The first election on improving the stadiums was the 2004 Bi-State proposal.
To pass it had to get majority vote in Jackson County and two other counties out of Johnson, Wyandotte, Platte and Clay. None of those four had a majority vote.
So when Bi-State was defeated. The next proposal was the 3/8 cent Jackson County Tax and the NFL's promise of a Kansas City Super Bowl if the Rolling Roof was part of renovations.
I think there will always be at least a 3/8 or 1/4 cent tax in Jackson County for Arrowhead and the Chiefs even if the Royals found a deal somewhere else.
Kauffman Stadium is beautiful. Especially after the renovations. It does not seem like a place that should be replaced. The Royals problem is that they envied the St. Louis Cardinals setup and convinced themselves they needed that to make it. Royals should figure out the way to succeed without worrying about what the Cardinals finagled.

Dead ass wrong. Kansas would be tripping over themselves to roll out the red carpet to take the Chiefs from Missouri.
