I've lost a lot of interest in both teams in the last few years, but the Royals even longer.
Hate to see them go for the money they brought into Jackson County but don't really care that their going.

The problem is timing and having to still play their respective seasons. A new stadium needs to be built first for Royals. That needed to start 2 years ago. It would need to be off site. Time has just ran out with new required leases on the horizon. I suppose they could extend a few years at arrowhead if royals finallly decided where to end up and that hasn't even happened.
So for Chiefs to stay at current location, like right now a Stadium for Royals needs to be built, that is 2-3 years, or lets say 2029 before it is ready. Then Demo kaufmann is a year, That's 2030. 3 years to build a new arrowhead, we are into 2033 maybe even 2034 when the next season comes around.
Leases are up in 2031 right? Like I said, all this hem hawing around has put both teams in a bind. The stadiums won't last another 25 years, they both have concrete issues. While safe for now, that just keeps getting worse.
