After 3 years of chaos between the Royals, Jackson County and KCMO, the state of Kansas is about to vote on new language in their STAR Bond laws that would finance 100% of a new stadium for the Chiefs and/or the Royals. 100 percent. The catch? Well... Kansas wants the project to cost at least $1 billion each and have at least 30,000 seats. This is swift and effective and there will be a deadline for the teams to take the money and run from Missouri.
So what a great time to have Kansas Speedway president Pat Warren on the podcast to talk about this week's Advent Health 400 in KCK and the possibility of new neighbors moving in. One important note, the interview with Mr. Warren was recorded prior to the Kansas legislature announcing Monday night it's prepared to make this offer to these teams. Kansas Speedway was partially financed by STAR bonds nearly 25 years ago.
