The Kansas vs Missouri battle has been going on a long time.  Because the majority of Kansas City is on the Missouri side, but with a chunk on the Kansas side of the state border there has been a constant battle with state and local taxes trying to lure businesses and home-owners to each side of Kansas City to cross the state border.  The fact that it came to the NFL is not a surprise at all.  Building a new stadium is simply holding out an empty cup to see which side will put the most money in it.  The fact that the Chiefs are performing so well makes getting tax dollars for a new stadium all the easier.

They are actually two separately incorporated cities. Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri.

I personally want the Chiefs to stay in the city of Kansas City, Missouri. I think that will be the eventual outcome of this. I also would want the new stadium a completely outdoor stadium. I believe that is the plan as of now. But I have heard talk of a retractable roof. Not a fan.
