What will happen to the Chiefs and Royals stadiums when they leave? Jackson County is making a plan

Posted online

Jackson County will task a group of business leaders, developers and community stakeholders to envision the future of the Truman Sports Complex after the Kansas City Chiefs’ and Royals’ stadium leases expire in 2031.

County Executive Phil LeVota announced Thursday the creation of a task force. It will be made up of 10 to 15 “business leaders, developers and community stakeholders” who will convene mid-April. The full list of individuals isn’t confirmed yet, but once it is, the group will have 90 days to develop recommendations for the future of the sports complex.

LeVota’s vision is a district that is active year-round, with opportunities for small businesses and local investment that will grow the region’s economy. It could include renovating the existing stadiums for new purposes, or tearing them down completely.
