KC Riverfront Revival Approved | Kansas City News

Kansas City just approved a $1.4 billion riverfront overhaul, centered on expanding CPKC Stadium to over 18,000 seats — making it more competitive for major events beyond the Current’s games. The city’s contribution comes from local sales tax, not new debt or state aid, but some council members balked, citing budget strain and long-term taxpayer costs stretching up to 30 years. Still, the project moves ahead with private funding covering most of the cost, while new shops, restaurants, and parking are already taking shape — though no official groundbreaking date is set yet for the stadium expansion.
