With less than a decade until leases run out . . . Both the Royals and the Chiefs are playing tough with taxpayers in quest to win funding for new stadiums.

And that's why a recent bit of social media "news" is merely nothing more than a warning that the fight to fund a new dome for the KC Chiefs is part of the ongoing Kansas Vs. Missouri economic war.

A heated border war between Kansas and Missouri has resulted in a number of business-related moves from state to state.

"We look forward to looking with the Chiefs, our state of Missouri partners, and local officials to ensure the Chiefs remain home in Kansas City and Missouri for generations to come."
