Missouri House Speaker Jonathan Patterson “put pressure” on Jackson County leaders to come up with a plan to keep the Chiefs and Royals, “suggesting that another stadium vote could come later this year.” Patterson said that Jackson County leaders “needed to develop a stadium funding plan -- and fast -- before Missouri officials commit to anything.” He added that he “supports Jackson County leaders putting a Chiefs-only stadium proposal on the November ballot.” Patterson said that the funding would “serve as the foundation for any Missouri-led stadium package.” With the legislative session underway, there “appears to be newfound energy among state officials to respond to Kansas” (K.C. STAR, 2/20).
