GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri, where the Kansas City Chiefs play.The Washington Post/Getty ImagesMissouri's Kansas City Chiefs are pushing for a move across state lines.The NFL team wants Kansas to approve a tax incentive that would fund a brand-new stadium in the state.Proponents argue that if Missouri or Kansas doesn't act, the team could leave the region altogether.The Kansas City Chiefs may be on the move.Kansas lawmakers are gathering this week for a special legislative session and could vote on a bill that would give millions in tax incentives to expand the state's tourism and entertainment industries.All eyes are now on the bill, which, if passed, could help the reigning Super Bowl champions (as well as the MLB's Kansas City Royals) move from Missouri's Kansas City to Kansas'.At a hearing on Monday ahead of the formal start of the session, representatives for the Kansas City Chiefs and the Royals asked Kansas lawmakers to pass the bill, the Missouri Independent reported.That legislation would give the teams hundreds of millions of dollars to help fund building new stadiums in Kansas."If we want to be major league, we've got to have major-league teams," Korb Maxwell, an attorney who represents the Chiefs, told lawmakers on Monday, according to the Missouri Independent.
