"The Chiefs rarely suffer a blowout loss at home. On Tuesday, they did.
It wasn't even close. Only 41 percent of Jackson County voters approved the extension of a sales tax to fund renovations at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Chiefs will now, as they have vowed, consider all options. It is fundamentally a business decision. Because professional football ultimately is a business.
What will the Chiefs do when their lease at Arrowhead expires after the 2030 season? They will be geographic free agents, able to do whatever they want to do.

Even great fans like the Chiefs have are tired of paying for fancy new stadiums. These teams are all owned by billionaires. Let them pay for their own stadium or raise funds from corporate sponsors. No matter how great the fan base there is still a small percentage that ever gets to use the stadium. If these wealthy owners pay for the stadium they don't have any yearly lease. If they borrow money they typically pay off the debt over 10 or 20 years. If they sell the team they sell the stadium which makes the team more valuable.
