Kansas Lawmakers Pass NFL Stadium Bill

0:00Kansas lawmakers have cleared a major hurdle in their bid to lure an NFL team. They passed the bill creating a sports authority to manage a potential new stadium in Kansas City, Kansas, plus the team headquarters in Olathe. The measure sailed through the Senate 30-10 late Friday, March 27, with a few adjustments. It then won House approval 78-44. The Kansas City Chiefs want any new facilities under public control, not team ownership. This board would make that possible, and sweeten the deal for relocation talks. Now the bill lands on Governor Laura Kelly's desk for final action. Expect quick developments here, as both sides eye a big win for pro football in the sunflower state.
