A Missouri plan to offer the Chiefs and Royals stadium incentives has cleared its biggest hurdle. But does it ensure they remain in Missouri?

Missouri senators authorized hundreds of millions of dollars worth of incentives to try to persuade the Chiefs and Royals to continue playing in the state.

The Missouri Senate has approved legislation incentivizing the Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas City Royals to stay in their state, with the threat of the teams moving to Kansas looming. The bill needed 18 votes to pass and was approved 19-13.
