\n

Residents of Overland Park and Leawood, the Sunflower State epicenter of a possible taxpayer-funded Kansas City Royals stadium, prefer that the Royals and the Kansas City Chiefs remain at the Truman Sports Complex rather than relocate.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the outcome of a public opinion poll<\/a> sponsored by the Sentinel\u2019s<\/em> owner, Kansas Policy Institute, and conducted by SurveyUSA.<\/p>\n

Only 26% of those surveyed think the Aspiria Complex at 119th<\/sup> and Nall in Overland Park is the best place for a new Royals stadium, while 40% say the Royals should stay at Kauffman Stadium in Missouri\u2019s Truman Sports Complex; only 13% prefer a downtown Kansas City location. Fans won\u2019t get their wish, however, as Royals owner John Sherman is on record<\/span><\/a> saying the Royals will vacate Kauffman Stadium after their lease expires in 2030, if not sooner.<\/p>\n

Half of those surveyed say the Kansas City Chiefs should stay at Arrowhead Stadium, and 26% prefer a move to western Wyandotte County. The preferences hold across most age and income categories for the Chiefs stadium, and only those aged 18-49 and with incomes over $80,000 are within the six percentage points confidence interval (33% to 30% and 33% to 29%, respectively. A confidence interval is SurveyUSA\u2019s terminology for what is commonly called a margin of error.\/<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Asked specifically about locating the Royals stadium at the Aspiria Complex at 119th<\/sup> and Nall, 53% would support the move, and 40% are opposed.<\/p>\n

Adults aged 18-49 support the location, but those aged 50-64 are opposed within the margin of error and those aged 65 and higher are opposed. Those with income below $40,000 slightly oppose the use of taxpayer subsidies, but those with higher incomes are supportive<\/p>\n

Use of taxpayer subsidies to build Chiefs or Royals stadiums<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While those surveyed prefer the Chiefs stay in Missouri, they are OK with the State of Kansas offering tax subsidies<\/a> to build professional sports complexes by a margin of 58% to 32%, with 10% uncertain.<\/p>\n

Support across age and income groups is relatively strong, although those with incomes below $40,000 are slightly opposed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

However, more participants are skeptical about the use of local tax subsidies, likely because of concern over property taxes.<\/p>\n

Overall, 47% support the use of local tax subsidies and 42% are opposed, making the issue a bit of a toss-up within the margin of error. The income level split is noteworthy, with support for local incentives among middle to lower incomes. People with less than $40,000 are strongly opposed (56% # to 38%), and those with incomes between $40,000 and $80,000 are supportive within one point of the margin of error ($49% to 42%), and those with incomes above $80,000 support local incentives by a 51-39 margin.<\/p>\n
