Could sports become to Kansas City what music is to Nashville? Survey says ...

If Kansas City needed reassurance of its performance as a FIFA World Cup host, it received it in the form of a survey that measured fan experience during the summer event. Some 5,300 were asked to track awareness, favorability and brand associations with Kansas City, and the results reinforced to KC2026 CEO Pam Kramer the region’s ability to outperform expectations. And Kansas City should continue to think big. “It’s not just that more people knew about us, but this narrative of a hidden gem — if we could get people here, if we could show who we are they would see what we know — really came through,” Kramer said. KC2026 commissioned Two Circles, an international sports and marketing business, and different groups of were surveyed five times between January and August. The survey covered area residents, fans from outside Kansas City and international fans from several countries that played or held base camps here: Argentina, Algeria, Austria, Columbia, Ecuador, the Netherlands and Switzerland. Among the highlights: 88% of all attendees were either satisfied or very satisfied with the FIFA Fan Festival at the World War I Museum and Memorial. It peaked at 94% of Kansas City residents and stood

Kansas, Wyandotte leaders resolve Chiefs stadium dispute

Leaders in Kansas and Wyandotte County said that disagreements about the proposed new Chiefs stadium project “were resolved, and a lawsuit against the state would be dismissed,” according to Kendrick Calfee of the K.C. STAR. Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly and Unified Government Mayor Christal Watson said on Friday that a plan was “created to allow the county to keep local control of development near the stadium, a major issue raised in the suit.” The lawsuit, filed in early October, took aim at legislation that “created the Kansas Sports Facilities Authority, a government agency designed to oversee construction of the stadium.” The lawsuit argued that the sports authority would “illegally strip local control from the UG.” According to a news release, a new agreement “confirms that the UG and Wyandotte County Board of Public Utilities (BPU) will keep jurisdiction over all ancillary development surrounding the stadium.” This includes local planning and zoning, and BPU payments in lieu of taxes. The UG keeps jurisdiction of development surrounding the stadium. The sports authority will act as the Chiefs’ landlord in Kansas. The board includes a representative from the team, the commerce secretary, appointees of the governor and legislative leaders and local representatives from K.C., Kansas, and Olathe. The stadium and a new training facility in Olathe will be “funded through the state’s bonding program called sales tax and revenue (STAR) bonds, which stretch across a two-county district” (K.C. STAR, 10/24).
