That\u2019s what I\u2019m expecting.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Kansas politicians have\u00a0set a December 31<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0deadline for Sherman to decide on whether he wants to move from Jackson County, Missouri to Overland Park.<\/p>\n<p>Sherman has been looking for financial help from Kansas and from Missouri since Jackson County voters said no in April 2024 to extending a sales tax that would have partly paid for a downtown Kansas City baseball venue and a renovation of the National Football League\u2019s Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 business home stadium. Missouri and Kansas have proposed financial packages to help pay for the construction of a stadium or in Missouri\u2019s case the renovation of the football stadium. North Kansas City and Clay County political and business leaders are interested in bringing Sherman\u2019s business north of Kansas City.\u00a0Kansas lawmakers approved a proposal that would see STAR bonds used to help pay 75% of the cost of building two stadiums in Kansas. Additionally, sports gambling and lottery gaming and sales tax revenue from businesses in the stadium development districts would cover bond debt. Another source of revenue to pay off the debt would come from a liquor tax. Kansas lawmakers could use a mechanism that would allow up to 100% of sales tax revenue on alcoholic liquor sales within a stadium district to pay off bonds for the structures. Missouri politicians will pay up to 50 percent of the construction costs in an attempt to keep the businesses in the state. The stadium game continues.<\/p>\n<p>Evan Weiner\u2019s books are available at iTunes\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/author\/evan-weiner\/id595575191\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/author\/evan-weiner\/id595575191<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Evan can be reached at\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportstalkflorida.com\/mlb\/is-overland-park-a-possible-location-for-a-kansas-city-royals-new-ballpark\/mailto:evan_weiner@hotmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">evan_weiner@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/sportstalkflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/masterson-ty-KS_2x-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-381732\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportstalkflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/masterson-ty-KS_2x-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sportstalkflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/masterson-ty-KS_2x-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sportstalkflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/masterson-ty-KS_2x-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sportstalkflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/masterson-ty-KS_2x-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/sportstalkflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/masterson-ty-KS_2x-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/sportstalkflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/masterson-ty-KS_2x-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/sportstalkflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/masterson-ty-KS_2x.jpg 1120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Ty Masterson <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '329277075295814');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source sportstalkflorida.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kauffman Stadium is too old for Royals owner John Sherman The stadium game continues in Kansas City.
