The Royals and Chiefs issued a joint statement today announcing their commitment to stay in Jackson County if voters approve an extension of the 3/8 cent sales tax in April as well as the concessions they are willing to make to reach agreement with the county. In the statement, the Royals announced their intention to move downtown in new ballpark with a $1 billion privately funded district at an unnamed site, while the Chiefs will renovate Arrowhead Stadium. There is still no finalized deal with the county, although this may signal progress is being made.
