The Kansas City Chiefs are relocating to a new $3 billion stadium in Kansas by 2031, leaving their current home in Missouri. While the new venue will feature an entertainment district, tax implications could result in lower income for players and executives, especially if Missouri's Amendment 5 passes, removing state income tax. The top income tax rates differ significantly between Kansas and Missouri, impacting potential earnings. If the amendment passes, a player making $20 million could save about $1 million in taxes annually by remaining in Missouri. The Chiefs are expected to continue playing in Missouri through the end of the decade.
