It's game day, Kansas City! Two of our hometown teams will take the field this evening and we know our collective fan base is all set to display its KC pride. For the second game of the ALDS, our Kansas City Royals will play the Yankees in New York beginning at 6:38 p.m. You can watch our boys in blue play on TBS. The Kansas City Chiefs are playing at home tonight, taking on the New Orleans Saints at GEHA Field At Arrowhead with a start time of 7:15 p.m. Parking lots open at 2:30 p.m. Fans should expect to see heavy delays due to rush hour traffic on Interstates 435 and 70, as well as streets around the Truman Sports Complex due to the start time of Monday’s game. Fans are asked to plan in advance and arrive several hours prior to kickoff to avoid rush hour and minimize delays. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gw8Zi2uX

The KC Chamber is excited to be a part of this bipartisan effort to promote economic growth, innovation, and connectivity in Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas.
We are proud to share the formation of the Midwest Crossroads Congressional Caucus, a bipartisan effort designed to promote economic growth, innovation, and connectivity in Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas. Representatives Emanuel Cleaver II (MO-5) and Zach Nunn (IA-3) lead the caucus, which will harness the region's economic strengths to position the Midwest for strategic federal investment. A special thank you to Congressman Cleaver and Congressman Nunn for their leadership in making this caucus a reality and for championing policies that put our communities first. We also thank every member of the MO, KS, IA, and NE delegation for coming together on these important priorities. The Heartland Civic Collaborative, which is an initiative of Civic Council of Greater Kansas City, Greater Des Moines Partnership, the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce, Greater Omaha Chamber, and Greater St. Louis, Inc., has advocated for and endorsed the caucus and is committed to moving this region forward.
