After the Missouri stadium vote, ball’s in Royals/Chiefs’ court. A podcast update

The Missouri House closed its special session last week with votes to provide funding to the Royals and the Chiefs, so a piece of the puzzle has fallen into place.

But questions remain. The biggest: What do the teams want to do in the next chapter of their respective quests for new stadiums?

On SportsBeat KC, The Star’s sports podcast presented by Underdog, columnist Sam McDowell discusses options for the teams. The Royals want a new ballpark. But where? The Chiefs’ top choice may to be to renovate Arrowhead Stadium; would a new practice facility be involved?

And is a new Kansas location still a viable option for one, or both, of these teams?

The ball is in the court of the Royals and Chiefs. Fans are awaiting their decisions.

They anxiously await news of the teams’ next moves.
