TOPEKA — A bipartisan council of Kansas lawmakers voted Monday to extend by six months the deadline for the Missouri-based Kansas City Royals or the Kansas City Chiefs to accept economic development incentives from Kansas for construction of sports stadiums.

The State of Kansas has extended its offer to emphasize the "Kansas" in the names of the Kansas City Royals and Chiefs. The state is attempting to lure both teams as the Chiefs and Royals continue their protracted stadium negotiations with Missouri.

The teams have already had one year to negotiate with Kansas officials. But supporters say the deals are complicated — and are frustrated by delays.
