Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly announced the details of an incentive package designed to bring the Kansas City Chiefs across the state line to build a new stadium this afternoon. The stadium will be built in Wyandotte County and will be surrounded by an entertainment district, Kelly said. A new team headquarters and a practice facility will be built in Olathe, she said. The announcement came after a group of top lawmakers in Topeka voted unanimously to approve a deal negotiated with Chiefs ownership by Lt. Gov. David Toland on behalf of the Kansas Department of Commerce. “Kansas is not a fly-over state. We’re a touchdown state,” Kelly said, calling today’s announcement “a little bit surreal.” Get the details of the deal at the link above. 🎥: Tammy Ljungblad/The Star & Alexa Stone/The Star (@Alexa (Lex) Stone) #Chiefs #ArrowheadStadium #Kansas #Topeka #NFL
