Not such a great deal if you are a Chiefs ST holder and live the Kansas county they would move to. No more free lunch from MO. But, as you say, at least they still keep their team.

So, Kansas City is one entity and the state line has no effect? That seems odd. Otherwise, they are in fact two separate cities with independent municipal and state governments. Upon reading further, it seems the two entities combine to form the “Kansas City metropolitan area”. So in that sense, they are one entity. Interesting!

Though this does tend to make me think of the whole "Toronto bills" possibility so I can understand. Not sure how significant the difference is in distance. This could be just like the "Austin Bills", something made up by someone from some remarks person heard and wants a "LAMP". The situation is closer to the NJ Jest and Jiants then "Toronto Bills". The teams should be renamed IMO. It could be they just want to get further away from St. Louis which some think is cursed regarding football. Kansas is not a small state like Rhode Island and while Kansas City, MO is on border of Missouri it is possible new location not in area. Maybe Kansas City, KS (3rd biggest city in Kansas) wants equal billing and is willing to pitch in to new stadium cost? I am sure it has an inferiority complex to big brother city.

Reminds me of the 70s and 80s when you had to go to Fort Erie to get the good beer and strip joints.

The new Bills Stadium should be built over the Niagara River, with a combination New Peace Bridge...an engineering marvel. Our neighbors to the north access from their side, and we access from ours from our “Tailgating Park”. Need some outside-the-box thinking here..

Not really relevant to this discussion, but I once went skiing in Lake Tahoe and had one leg in Nevada and the other in Caifornia as I straddled the state line. That was at the top of the mountain. You can do the same at street level, but the Nevada leg would be inside of a casino and the California leg would be out in the street, so it might get run over by a car. Arrowhead is in outlying area (from downtown KC) bounded by interstates and it directly adjacent to the KC Royals stadium. Not certain, but they may share some parking lots. So, yes, a new stadium could be in another state and yet still be more of a "downtown" stadium than it currently is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kansas City MO and Kansas City KS are separated by a street called State Line. I used to live in Missouri and work in Kansas and traveled a distance of precisely two blocks to go from my apartment to my office. The big hassle was having to file two different state income tax returns every spring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “Toronto Bills” would make about as much sense as the Utah Jazz. Sure, that made sense in New Orleans, but Salt Lake City is one of the last places I would ever think of when jazz comes up. If the Miami Hurricanes moved to Minneapolis, or the Phoenix Suns moved to Buffalo……. Did nobody think to come up with a new name? 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
